This compact one-bedroom flat occupies the first floor of a handsome period building in the heart of Fitzrovia. High ceilings, large windows and a working fireplace give classic Victorian character, while an open-plan kitchen/reception offers practical city living for a single buyer or couple.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (987 years), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus a communal roof terrace for outdoor space. The apartment is well placed for transport links and an extensive range of shops, restaurants and cultural amenities on your doorstep.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the apartment is small (approximately 437 sq ft) and the building’s brick walls are likely uninsulated with secondary glazing fitted, so heating costs could be higher than modern stock. The service charge is around £1,970 per year and there is a modest ground rent of £250. The local crime score is very high — buyers should consider security and insurance implications.
For a first‑time buyer seeking central location and period charm, this flat offers a manageable, long-lease home with strong local amenities. For those prioritising space, low running costs or a quieter neighbourhood, this will feel too compact and urban.
