Summary - ROSSCOURT MANSIONS, 4 FLAT 2 PALACE STREET LONDON SW1E 5HZ
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Large first-floor two-bedroom apartment moments from Buckingham Palace, with porter and long lease..
Large first-floor apartment — approx. 912 sqft, two double bedrooms
Set on the first floor of the stately Rosscourt Mansions, this larger-than-average two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (approx. 912 sqft) in one of London’s most central addresses, a short walk from Victoria Mainline and Underground Station and overlooking Buckingham Palace Mews. The layout includes two reception rooms, a separate fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms and a family bathroom — suited to buyers wanting substantial city living without compromise on layout.
Character details such as parquet flooring and period proportions sit alongside practical upgrades: double glazing installed after 2002, mains gas boiler with radiators, and a resident day porter for added convenience. The long lease (about 168 years remaining) and no onward chain reduce transactional uncertainty and make this a straightforward purchase for cash buyers or mortgage applicants.
Notable costs and constraints are clear: service charges are around £5,000 per annum (above average) and local council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds in the building are very slow, and the solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation — both factors worth considering if home working or energy efficiency are priorities. The immediate area has excellent amenities and transport, but reported local crime levels are very high, which may affect buyer preferences.
Overall this apartment will suit buyers seeking a spacious central London base with period charm, strong transport links and a long lease. It offers renovation potential to improve energy performance and connectivity, while ongoing service and local charges should be factored into affordability calculations.
