Two-bedroom top-floor flat with skyline views, porterage and easy access to St John’s Wood.
Top-floor apartment with far-reaching skyline views and private balcony
Set on the eighth (top) floor of Grove End House, this well-presented two-bedroom apartment offers far-reaching skyline views and a private balcony — a clear draw for buyers seeking a central NW8 address with strong lettability. The living/dining room is generous for social use, while the separate kitchen and one bathroom keep the layout efficient and easy to maintain.
Residents benefit from passenger lifts, porterage and attractive communal gardens that add convenience and curb appeal in a busy city location. Transport links are excellent: St John’s Wood (Jubilee line) and Maida Vale (Bakerloo line) are within walking distance, with Regent’s Park and Lord’s Cricket Ground close by — features that appeal to both professional tenants and owner-occupiers.
Practical points are straightforward: the lease has approximately 129 years remaining and heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators. Service charges and council tax are above average, and the property uses secondary glazing. The flat is modern in presentation but rooms are modest in size — the main bedroom is average, the second bedroom is small.
This apartment suits an investor seeking a centrally located rental with minimal immediate works, or a couple/first-time buyer wanting a ready-to-move-in London base. Expect good rental demand given location and amenities, but budget for higher ongoing service and tax costs.
