Set on the first floor of a landmark Art Deco mansion block, this one-bedroom apartment combines period character with practical city living. High ceilings and an Edwardian-style bedroom bring architectural charm, while a modern fitted kitchen and family bathroom meet everyday needs. The reception room centres on a traditional fireplace and built-in shelving, creating a comfortable living space for a single occupant or couple.
Residents benefit from secure, well-managed communal services: 24/7 concierge, lift access and a long-share-of-freehold lease (c.956 years). The location is a major selling point — central Westminster, moments from St James’s Park, the Thames and multiple Underground and rail hubs (Pimlico, St James’s Park, Westminster, Victoria).
Practical considerations are clear and transparent. The annual service charge is relatively high at £6,474 and council tax is above average; the building’s solid brick walls are likely without added insulation which will affect heat retention. The property is chain free and move-in ready, but buyers seeking major open-plan remodelling or high thermal efficiency should factor in potential works.
This flat is suited to professionals and downsizers who value central Westminster living, architectural detail and concierge convenience. It offers a straightforward, low-risk purchase with strong transport links and local amenities on the doorstep.
