Summary - Flat 4, 4, Hand Axe Yard, LONDON WC1X 8BD
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Ideal for investors seeking strong transport links and consistent rental demand.
Second-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment with two balconies
This second-floor two-bedroom apartment sits in a contemporary brick development moments from St Pancras and King’s Cross transport hubs, delivering exceptional connectivity for tenants or frequent travellers. The open-plan living area, oak-veneer floors and two balconies create light, usable space; on-site concierge and a residents’ gym add convenience and tenant appeal.
The property benefits from a very long lease (990 years) and two bathrooms, including an en suite with an in-shower TV, which supports higher short-let or professional-rental rates. Strong local amenity density and excellent broadband/mobile signal further strengthen rental prospects.
Buyers should note important negatives: the area records very high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect long-term capital uplift and insurance or lettings considerations. Annual costs are above average — service charge £5,980 and ground rent £600 — and council tax is described as expensive. Heating is via a community scheme, which can limit individual control and add running-cost complexity.
Overall, this apartment suits investors or professionals prioritising transport links and modern finishes. It offers ready-to-let features but carries higher recurring costs and local-area challenges that buyers must weigh against rental potential.
