Summary - Flat 7, Russell Mansions, 144 Southampton Row WC1B 5AJ
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious two-bed Bloomsbury flat with period features — full refurbishment opportunity.
Approximately 942 sq ft of internal floor space
A substantial two-bedroom mansion flat of approximately 942 sq ft in the heart of Bloomsbury, arranged on the second floor of a Victorian block with lift access. The apartment retains strong period character — high ceilings, a grand bay window, original wood floors, decorative cornices and an original cast-iron fireplace — offering clear scope to create a striking central London home or a high-yield rental after refurbishment.
The flat is offered chain free on a long lease (117 years remaining) and sits to the quieter rear of the block. Its size and layout (reception/dining room, two bedrooms, separate kitchen and bathroom) are generous for the area and provide flexible reconfiguration potential for modern living or short/long-let use. Transport and local amenities are excellent: Russell Square tube, Brunswick Centre, and several parks and cultural institutions are within easy walking distance.
Material facts: the property requires full renovation and is currently dated; expect cosmetic and likely mechanical upgrades to heating, electrics and insulation. Annual service charge is approximately £2,300 and ground rent £10. Council tax band F (expensive). Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as very high — an important consideration for investors and occupants. No flooding risk recorded.
