Set on the 8th floor of the Castleacre development, this bright two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers generous living space (approx. 1,011 sq ft) with a desirable west-facing aspect and wide city views. The open-plan living and dining area benefits from large windows and recent double glazing, creating a naturally light, modern interior suited to both families and professionals.
Practical benefits include 24-hour porterage, passenger lift access, a long effective lease (approximately 979 years remaining as part of a share of freehold) and an on-site garden. Two bathrooms and a spacious layout add everyday convenience and strong rental appeal for investors or sharers.
Buyers should note the annual service charge is above average at £6,824.36 and the property sits in Westminster Council Tax band G, which is relatively expensive. The block dates from the 1950s–60s; walls are solid brick with no confirmed insulation (assumed), so there may be longer-term improvement opportunities to increase energy efficiency.
The location is a major selling point: moments from Hyde Park, Connaught Village and Oxford Street, with excellent mobile and fast broadband connectivity. The neighbourhood is inner-city cosmopolitan with many amenities nearby; however, local crime levels are above average, which should be considered by prospective purchasers.
