Set within a stucco-fronted Victorian townhouse on Pembridge Square, this one-bedroom apartment delivers considered design and genuine period character. Studio L’s award-winning fit-out pairs original cornicing and high ceilings with oiled oak herringbone floors, a bay window and a reclaimed fireplace to create a bright, elegant living space. The open-plan kitchen has quartzite surfaces and integrated appliances; the bathroom includes underfloor heating and a walk-in rainfall shower.
Practical positives include a long lease (239 years) and share of freehold ownership, air conditioning, and access to the private, award-winning Pembridge Square communal gardens. At 485 sq ft the home is a compact central-London flat well suited to someone seeking a stylish pied-à-terre or a single city homeowner who values location, light and design-led interiors.
Be candid about costs and fabric: the service charge is above average and the building’s solid-brick construction likely has limited wall insulation. Heating is by electric storage heaters rather than gas, which can affect running costs. Crime levels in the area are recorded as very high; buyers should factor this into decisions about security and insurance.
This property’s strengths are its prestigious address, high-spec interior design and direct access to private communal gardens. It suits purchasers who prioritise location, aesthetic finish and low immediate maintenance, while accepting higher ongoing charges and compact living space.
