This spacious third-floor apartment in Carlisle Mansions offers rare central London lateral living with almost 1,980 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation. Rooms are generous — a large reception, a sizeable eat-in kitchen and four bedrooms — making the layout well suited to a family or a high-end rental. The principal suite benefits from extensive built-in storage and an ensuite; generous window provision provides good natural light to front and rear elevations.
The building is a handsome late‑Victorian mansion block with concierge/porter services and strong curb appeal on a quiet Westminster street close to Victoria Station. The location delivers immediate access to transport, theatres, shops and high-quality schools, while remaining a peaceful, residential setting within the city.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric details: a high service charge of £14,675 per annum (including a sinking fund) and solid brick walls likely without insulation. The flat sits within a long lease (142 years remaining), but there is no private outdoor space shown and the communal building is of traditional construction which may benefit from energy upgrades. Local crime indicators are high for the area — worth considering for families or purchasers prioritising security.
Overall this is a rare, large central‑London flat with strong entertaining space, excellent transport links and scope to personalise finishes. It suits a buyer seeking generous period proportions in Westminster who accepts higher service charges and the constraints of a mansion‑block, leasehold setting.
