Spacious period rooms and porter-served entrance near St James's Park.
Top-floor flat with lift access and private balcony
Set on the top floor of an imposing red-brick mansion block, this bright two-bedroom flat offers generous rooms, high ceilings and wide views across London from a private balcony. The layout includes a large reception room with bay-style windows, two double bedrooms with bay windows, and both a bathroom plus a separate shower room — a practical arrangement for residents or guests.
Located in Ashley Gardens, the property benefits from lift access, a staffed porter in the grand entrance and an attractive St James's Park and Victoria Street location with shops, cafés and transport nearby. At about 1,100 sq ft, the flat feels spacious for central London and its share-of-freehold tenure offers more control than a typical leasehold.
Important considerations: the building dates from the early 20th century and has solid brick walls with assumed no cavity insulation, so heating costs and thermal performance may be higher than modern stock. The annual service charge is high at £10,000 and the local crime level is recorded as very high — both material factors for buyers to weigh.
This is well suited to buyers seeking a characterful central London home with period features and strong local amenities. Where desired, the apartment also offers scope for selective updating to improve insulation, heating efficiency and modern finishes, unlocking further comfort and value.
