A bright, well-specified one-bedroom apartment in the Plimsoll Building, minutes from King’s Cross St Pancras. The flat offers a south-facing balcony overlooking the communal gardens, an open-plan living room, fitted kitchen, and underfloor heating — all presented in immaculate condition. Residents benefit from 24-hour concierge, a gym, rooftop conservatory and landscaped courtyard, adding convenience and rental appeal.
Practical strengths include a long lease (239 years), low external wall fire-safety assessment, and excellent transport links for commuters and short-stay guests. The apartment’s 587 sq ft size and contemporary finishes make it attractive to professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking a premium central location.
Buyers should note material running costs: a high service charge (£5,895 pa) and above-average council tax, plus a ground rent of £500 pa. The immediate area records above-average crime and is classified as deprived; these factors can affect long-term resale or tenant demand. The property is leasehold — purchasers should factor leasehold terms and costs into affordability calculations.
Overall, this property suits buyers who prioritise location, building amenities and strong transport connections. For investors, the combination of concierge, communal facilities and proximity to major transport hubs supports rentalability, but higher service charges and local area statistics should be weighed when assessing net yields and future capital growth.
