Two-bedroom West End apartment with en suite, close to Covent Garden — strong rental potential..
735 sq ft two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with en suite
Set on St Martin’s Lane in the heart of the West End, this two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, contemporary living space with an en suite main bedroom and useful built-in storage. At 735 sq ft the flat suits buyers seeking a city base close to Covent Garden’s shops, theatres and transport links.
The property sits in a busy, multicultural student neighbourhood, giving clear rental and short-term lettings appeal. With a long lease (973 years) and fast broadband and mobile signal, it’s operationally attractive for lettings and professional sharers.
Buyers should note material running costs and fabric: the service charge is above average, the building is served by a community heating scheme and mains gas, and the construction is a system-built block with assumed little wall insulation. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not meet modern standards — further retrofit work could improve efficiency.
This apartment is best suited to investors or buyers wanting a central London pied-à-terre who accept inner-city realities: excellent connectivity and amenity access balanced against higher local crime levels and an area classed as deprived. The position and lease length underpin long-term value; planned maintenance or energy upgrades would enhance comfort and yields.
