Set on the seventh floor of a landmark Whitehall Court building, this large one-bedroom lateral apartment offers sweeping views over the River Thames and central London landmarks. Vaulted ceilings (2.97–3.48m) and generous proportions create a bright, airy reception and an oversized kitchen/dining area suited to entertaining or rental demand.
Practical positives include built-in bedroom storage, an en-suite bathroom plus a guest WC, secondary glazing and excellent transport links — Embankment, Charing Cross and Westminster stations are all a short walk. The property sits within a staffed, portered block with a community heating scheme and mains gas connection.
Notable costs and constraints are material: the lease is long (151 years) but the annual service charge is very high (£13,088) and council tax is described as quite expensive. There are also disclosed fire-safety matters that prospective buyers should investigate and factor into budgets. The building’s walls are listed as system-built with assumed lack of insulation which may affect running costs and upgrade scope.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a prestigious central-London base or investors targeting premium short- or long-let demand who can accommodate significant service charges and any remediation work. The combination of rare floor-to-ceiling height, central riverside location and transport access underpins strong desirability, balanced by ongoing holding costs and known safety matters.
