This ground-floor lateral apartment occupies 1,158 sq ft within a grand Victorian mansion block in a quiet conservation area near Westminster Cathedral. The layout delivers two double bedrooms (one en‑suite), two bathrooms, a large reception/dining room with bay window and direct access to a communal garden, plus a separate kitchen and entrance reception/study. Period features, high ceilings and hardwood floors give the apartment character while the plan suits formal entertaining and comfortable bedroom wings.
Practical benefits include a porter, share of freehold with 187 years remaining, and very good transport links via nearby Victoria Station. The property is offered with no onward chain and sits close to shops, theatres and Royal Parks, making it convenient for daily life and city leisure.
Buyers should note the above-average service charge (£7,764 pa), expensive council tax and that the building is solid-brick with assumed no wall insulation. Windows have secondary glazing; heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators. The local area records higher crime levels and is classified as deprived despite the central location, which may affect some buyers’ priorities.
This apartment will appeal to professional couples or a small family seeking generous formal living space in a characterful central-London setting. It also suits purchasers wanting a well-located home with potential to update finishes or reconfigure parts of the plan to personal taste.
