Summary - Flat 11, 140a, Shaftesbury Avenue WC2H 8HD
2 bed 1 bath Flat
High-ceiling West End apartment near theatres, shops and transport links.
Fourth-floor flat with lift access
Set on the fourth floor of a handsome Victorian corner building, this two-bedroom apartment offers classic period proportions with high ceilings and large windows. The open-plan living and kitchen space, together with two double bedrooms, makes the 682 sq ft layout practical for a professional couple or compact family.
The location is the apartment’s strongest asset: Shaftesbury Avenue places shops, theatres and transport links on the doorstep for a genuinely central West End lifestyle. Lift access and secure communal entry add everyday convenience for city living.
Buyers should note material drawbacks plainly: the property sits in an area with very high crime statistics and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. The building has solid brick walls with no assumed cavity insulation, the service charge averages £2,110 per year and ground rent is £50. The flat is leasehold with about 103 years remaining and has a single bathroom, which may limit suitability for larger households.
This is a straightforward proposition for someone seeking characterful, centrally located accommodation with clear potential to improve energy performance and connectivity. For buyers prioritising centrality and period features, the apartment represents a convenient West End base; those seeking quieter, low-crime suburbs or fast broadband should consider alternatives.
