This first-floor one-bedroom flat occupies a bright room in an attractive Georgian mid-terrace on New Cavendish Street. At 355 sq ft it is compact but well finished, with high ceilings, large windows and contemporary open-plan living that maximises natural light. The property is chain free and offered with approximately 99 years remaining on the lease.
The location is the principal selling point: moments from Marylebone High Street, Regent’s Park and excellent transport links (Oxford Circus, Great Portland Street and Warren Street stations). The neighbourhood is a multicultural student and inner-city cosmopolitan area, making the flat suitable for rental to students or central London professionals seeking convenience and strong transport connections.
Buyers should note clear practical considerations. The flat is small and will suit single occupancy or a couple only. Heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity; walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation, and the EPC rating is D. Council tax is above average for the area. Crime levels in the local area are reported as very high and the wider area is classified as deprived.
For investors or buyers prepared to upgrade, the flat offers rental potential given the proximity to universities and the West End. Service charge is modest at £500 (below average) and ground rent is nominal at £6. There is scope to improve energy efficiency and heating to enhance comfort and running costs.
