Spanning nearly 3,800 sqft across two top floors, this circular duplex penthouse delivers dramatic volume and uninterrupted 360° views, including direct sightlines to St Paul’s. The living room’s near 6m double-height ceiling and a c.48ft diameter plan create an exceptional, light-filled entertaining space that flows out to a large wraparound terrace of c.1,340 sqft. Practical comforts include underfloor heating, centrally controlled air-conditioning, solarshield window film and two secure parking spaces with an option to purchase a third.
The upper level is arranged as a private suite-led wing: a principal bedroom with custom walk-in wardrobes, luxury bathroom and jacuzzi, plus two further king-size bedrooms each with en-suite facilities and walk-in closets. A fourth bedroom on the main floor has a private entrance and en-suite — ideal as guest accommodation, staff quarters, office or media room. The kitchen is fitted with integrated Miele appliances and a separate utility for everyday convenience.
Angel Southside provides additional resident benefits: direct lift access, a 24/7 concierge, CCTV, landscaped communal gardens and access to a large Virgin Active health club and pool on the ground floor. The development holds a valid EWS1 certificate and planned communal works (lift replacement and lobby/corridor refresh) are to be funded from reserves.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the service charge is very high at c. £25,000pa and council tax is described as very expensive, reflecting substantial running costs. The property sits within a high-crime and deprived inner-city area; triple glazing and the building’s design reduce much traffic noise but local safety and socio-economic factors should be considered. Lease has about 97 years remaining and tenure is leasehold.
