Set on the fourth floor of a secure block, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers a smart, low-fuss base in Pimlico. The open-plan reception and modern integrated kitchen create a bright living space suitable for a pied‑à‑terre, first home or rental. Built-in bedroom storage and neutral decor mean it’s ready to occupy with minimal change.
Practical positives include a long lease (161 years remaining), very low flood risk and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The flat is electrically heated via room heaters and has double glazing, suited to light city living but increasing ongoing running costs compared with gas central heating. Service charges average £2,952 per year — important for budgeting.
Location is a core selling point: minutes from the River Thames, Vauxhall Bridge Road amenities and Pimlico Underground Station, with plentiful local shops, cafés and transport options. The building’s secure entry supports peace of mind, though the area records higher crime levels than average — a material local factor to consider.
For investors and buyers seeking a central, low-maintenance property, this apartment represents strong rental and pied‑à‑terre potential. Those who require larger living areas, gas heating or lower service charges should note the property’s small size and electric heating before viewing.
