Set on Shaftesbury Avenue between Covent Garden and Soho, this one-bedroom apartment offers contemporary central-London living with bright, open-plan accommodation. Large floor-to-ceiling windows and hardwood floors create an airy feel across the living and kitchen areas, while the bedroom is a comfortable size for a city home.
The building is modern (constructed after 2007) with double glazing and community heating, suitable for buyers seeking a low-fuss, move-in-ready property in the West End. Transport links are excellent with Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Tottenham Court Road stations all within easy reach, and a wide range of shops, restaurants and amenities on the doorstep.
Practical costs and location realities are straightforward: the property is leasehold (104 years remaining), with an above-average service charge and council tax, and a small ground rent. The immediate area is lively and inner-city cosmopolitan, which suits urban professionals but brings very high local crime figures and typical West End noise. Broadband speeds are average.
This flat will suit a buyer wanting a stylish central pied-à-terre or an investor targeting strong rental demand in the West End. Buyers should factor ongoing service charges, local noise and safety considerations into their decision and visit to assess street-level activity and sound levels.
