Compact two-bed top-floor flat with terrace in the heart of Fitzrovia, long lease..
Top-floor period conversion with private terrace
Light-filled two-bedroom apartment on the top (fourth) floor of a well-preserved period conversion in central Fitzrovia. The open-plan reception and kitchen lead to a private terrace, offering rare outdoor space for a central-London flat. Finished to a contemporary standard with skylights to the principal bedroom, this compact home suits a city pied-à-terre or professional couple wanting immediate access to Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road amenities.
Practical credentials include a long lease (approx. 155 years), double glazing and mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the property sits in an affluent area with an extensive local retail and dining offer. Flood risk is nil and the building appears externally well maintained, retaining Georgian brick character and sash window detail.
Important considerations: internal floor area is small (approx. 593 sq ft) and parts of the plan show restricted height. Service charge is relatively high at about £5,000 per year and the property is leasehold with a modest ground rent of £100. The building’s solid brick walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs and future upgrade potential. Local recorded crime levels are very high; buyers should factor that into security and lifestyle decisions.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking central location and character over generous space — ideal as a convenient city base, rental investment in a prime postcode, or a compact home for professionals who prioritise location and light. Transparency on maintenance costs and the high service charge will help buyers assess long-term value and budgeting.
