Set within one of St John’s Wood’s most desirable garden squares, this duplex apartment occupies the first and second floors of a handsome Victorian conversion. The home delivers generous proportions across 1,210 sq ft, tall ceilings and panoramic views over the private, residents-only Alma Square Gardens. The layout currently reads as a two-bedroom with two bathrooms but can be reinstated as three bedrooms to suit a growing family or sharer living.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (983 years), share of freehold ownership and chain-free sale, making the purchase straightforward. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the building is traditional solid-brick Victorian construction with assumed lack of modern wall insulation — something to consider if planning energy upgrades.
Living here places you close to excellent schooling (including outstanding rated local options), plentiful local amenities and reliable transport links across NW8. The property enjoys access to the private communal gardens and benefits from low local crime and an affluent neighbourhood profile.
Notable costs and constraints are candidly set out: an average annual service charge of approximately £3,600 and a quite expensive council tax band. The duplex layout involves internal stairs and some rooms are small to average in size, which may affect families with very young children or mobility needs. Overall, this is a refined, characterful period home with clear potential for modernising improvements to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
