Spacious top-floor two-bed in Marylebone — character, convenience, and notable running costs.
Top-floor, double-aspect reception with abundant natural light
Approx. 807 sq ft — comfortable two-bedroom layout
Day porter and intercom in a purpose-built block
Recently refurbished exterior; building well maintained
Leasehold with ~91 years remaining (as of 2025)
Service charge approx. £8,500 pa — materially high
EPC rating D; solid brick walls likely without insulation
Local crime levels above average — consider security implications
Top-floor period apartment in Sherwood Court, just moments from Marylebone High Street and Marble Arch. The flat offers bright, double-aspect living with a large double reception, two bedrooms and two bathrooms across approximately 807 sq ft — an attractive central-London home for comfortable living or rental occupation.
Set in a well-maintained purpose-built block with a day porter and intercom, the building has recently had an external refurbishment. The interior benefits from large early-20th-century windows, hardwood floors and traditional solid-brick construction, providing character and generous natural light throughout.
Important practical points are straightforward: the property is leasehold with about 91 years remaining, a high service charge (approx. £8,500 pa, including reserve fund) and an EPC rating of D. Council tax is high and the immediate area records higher crime levels than average — factors to weigh against the central location, size and amenity access.
This apartment suits a buyer seeking central convenience and period character — investors aware of lease length and running costs, or owner-occupiers wanting a well-located base with easy access to Marylebone’s shops, transport links and schools. Some buyers may wish to update heating insulation and interior finishes to maximise value.
