Central W2 apartment ideal for first-time buyers seeking transport and amenities.
2 generous bedrooms with extensive built-in storage
Bright corner flat with lots of natural light and city views
Purpose-built block with lift and 24-hour concierge
Long lease (149 years) and low ground rent (£75)
No central heating system; electric heaters assumed
High service charge £6,800 pa (above average)
Early 20th-century solid brick construction; likely no wall insulation
Area has above-average crime for a major conurbation
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment in a purpose-built block on the corner of Edgware Road and Sussex Gardens. The flat offers two well-proportioned bedrooms with substantial built-in storage, an integrated kitchen and a bright living room with urban views — ready to move into for buyers seeking central W2 convenience.
The building provides practical benefits for city living: lift access, 24-hour concierge and excellent transport links nearby. A long lease (149 years) and manageable ground rent are positives for buyers wanting security and straightforward tenure.
Buyers should note important practical considerations: there is no central heating system (electric heaters assumed) and the service charge is high at £6,800 per year. The building dates from the early 20th century with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation), so future energy upgrades and heating costs may be factors to budget for. Crime levels in the area are above average, typical of a major conurbation location.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or city professionals who prioritise location, access to amenities and transport over low running costs. The flat’s layout and storage make it functional now, with potential to modernise heating and insulation to improve comfort and efficiency.
