This bright, lateral one‑bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of St John’s Wood Court is a rare central‑London refurbishment opportunity. High ceilings, large rooms and period detailing give clear scope to create a stylish one‑bed home or a high-yield rental once modernised. The building offers practical conveniences — a lift and on‑site porter — and sits close to Regent’s Park, transport links and local schools.
The flat extends to approximately 711 sq ft and benefits from share of freehold ownership, which supports long‑term control over building management. The internal layout currently includes a wide entrance hall, separate reception room, kitchen, bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a generously sized bathroom. Solid brick construction and sash‑style windows retain period character that designers often prize.
Buyers should be aware this property needs full renovation: decorative finishes, fixtures and some services are dated and will require investment. The lease has c.84 years remaining — adequate for many purchasers but important to review with advisors — and the annual service charge is high at £8,200; next review dates for service charge/ground rent should be confirmed. Crime levels in the area are reported above average, so factor security measures into any refurb plan despite the building porter.
For a buyer prepared to invest time and budget, this apartment offers significant upside in a sought‑after NW8 location. It suits someone looking to create a long‑term London home or an investor targeting capital uplift after refurbishment.
