Summary - FLAT 2, CAREY MANSIONS, RUTHERFORD STREET SW1P 2LT
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, well-located apartment ideal for city living or rental income.
Central Westminster location, moments from St James's Park and Victoria Street
Compact one-bedroom flat — total area approximately 305 sq ft
Open-plan reception with integrated kitchen; neutrally decorated throughout
Leasehold with 82 years remaining; may affect mortgage eligibility
Low ground rent reported at £10 annually
Very high local crime rate — consider security and insurance costs
Community heating (mains gas) and double glazing (unknown install date)
Solid brick construction likely without modern wall insulation
This compact one-bedroom flat sits on Rutherford Street within an attractive early-20th-century mansion block, offering a convenient Westminster base for a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor. The open-plan reception and kitchen give a light, practical living space and the apartment is neutrally decorated throughout, ready to occupy with minimal immediate works.
At 305 sq ft the property is small and best suited to a single occupant or couple who prioritise central location over generous room sizes. The building retains period character on the exterior, while internal features include double glazing (install date unknown) and a community heating scheme fed from mains gas. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent.
Important practical points: the flat is leasehold with 82 years remaining and a reported ground rent of £10; this may affect mortgage options and future costs. The building’s solid brick walls likely lack modern insulation and there is a very high local crime rate to factor into security and insurance decisions. Those comfortable with compact London living will find strong location value — St James’s Park, Victoria Street and local amenities are a short walk away.
Overall this is a centrally located, low-maintenance flat offering immediate occupancy or straightforward rental potential, but it requires buyers to accept limited space, a sub-100-year lease and some urban-area security considerations.
