Set within a converted Victorian warehouse between Covent Garden and Seven Dials, this lateral loft apartment delivers rare scale and strong character in the heart of central London. At approximately 1,572 sq ft with nearly 3m ceilings and oversized industrial windows, the principal reception and open-plan kitchen create an impressive entertaining space flooded with natural light. A secluded planted roof terrace accessed from the living room and principal bedroom adds valuable outdoor space not usually found in this location. Secure underground parking is included, an important convenience in Zone 1.
The apartment’s strengths are its airy proportions, original industrial features and flexible layout. Both bedrooms are well proportioned with built-in storage and the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite. Neutral finishes and hardwood floors make the apartment move-in ready while preserving period details such as exposed lintels and steel casements. Excellent transport links (Covent Garden, Holborn, Tottenham Court Road/Elizabeth Line) place the capital’s cultural and educational institutions within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with 96 years remaining. Annual running costs are material: a service charge of £9,750.13 and ground rent of £800 per year, together with a very expensive council tax band—important factors for affordability and any rental yield calculations. The location is central and vibrant but records a very high crime level, which may concern some purchasers despite the private entrance and secure parking.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a distinctive, spacious central London home or a high-end rental opportunity who accept the premium running costs associated with central location and historic conversion. It offers an exceptional sense of volume and an unusual amount of internal space for WC2, balanced by the practical considerations of lease length, service charges and local crime statistics.
