This seventh-floor lateral apartment delivers bright, contemporary living across 1,105 sq ft in central Westminster. The large double-aspect reception opens to a private balcony with strong skyline views, while an open-plan kitchen and high ceilings create a modern, airy feel. Two double bedrooms both have built-in storage and each benefits from an en-suite, plus there is a guest WC.
Practical strengths include a long lease (988 years), concierge and lift access, double glazing, underfloor heating and an EPC rating of B. Transport links are excellent — St James’s Park, Victoria and Westminster stations are all within easy walking distance — supporting strong rental or short-commute appeal for professionals.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of £8,800 (plus an additional building service charge) and ground rent of £600 pa. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area records a high crime rate and local deprivation metrics that may affect some buyer preferences and rental profiles.
Overall this is a spacious, well-presented apartment in a highly central location with clear appeal to investors or professionals seeking a turnkey pied-à-terre. The combination of long lease and concierge supports letting or resale, but price comparisons should factor in the high service charges and local area issues.
