Set within the highly regarded Abell & Cleland development, this smart one-bedroom apartment offers 606 sq ft of open-plan living finished to a high standard. The building provides 24-hour concierge, a gym and an indoor swimming pool, delivering a full-service, low-hassle central London lifestyle. The property benefits from a very long lease (987 years) and excellent local transport links, with Westminster and Pimlico stations within easy walking distance.
The apartment's layout is efficient: a bright open-plan reception and modern fitted kitchen, a generous bedroom and a well-specified bathroom. Natural light and contemporary finishes make this a ready-to-live-in city home or an attractive let in a sought-after central location. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent and flood risk is very low, supporting both comfortable living and rental prospects.
Buyers should note the running costs alongside the headline conveniences. The service charge is £6,600 per year and the annual ground rent is £768, both above typical levels for smaller flats. Council tax is also above average. Heating is provided via a community scheme, which may limit individual control and could affect long-term running costs.
This apartment suits someone prioritising location, building amenities and a low-maintenance city base: professionals working nearby, buyers seeking a pied-à-terre, or investors targeting premium central rentals. The property is largely move-in ready, though buyers wanting lower ongoing charges may prefer smaller developments or freehold alternatives.
