Summary -
Flat 18 Dudley House,36-38, Southampton Street,LONDON,WC2E 7HG
WC2E 7HG
3 bed 2 bath Penthouse
Large, light-filled central home with south-facing terrace and long lease.
Triplex penthouse over three floors with private roof terrace
A striking triplex penthouse arranged over the fourth to sixth floors of a sensitively restored historic building in the heart of Covent Garden. The principal living floor is a bright, open-plan space with high ceilings, large arched windows and a fitted Miele kitchen with Carrara marble surfaces. A bespoke oak staircase links generous landings to an upper sun-room and an L-shaped south-facing roof terrace with wide city views along Southampton Street and towards the Strand.
The principal bedroom is a well-proportioned suite with bespoke wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom; a further bedroom and shower room are arranged on the mid floor and a light-filled room with skylight on the top floor can function as a study or third bedroom. High-quality finishes include oiled chevron oak floors, fitted joinery and high-spec appliances throughout. Practical benefits include a lift to the floor, concierge service and a very long lease (993 years).
Important practical considerations: the annual service charge is £19,200 (very expensive) and ground rent is £600 per year. The location is an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high local crime statistics and a very deprived local area classification; buyers should weigh these factors alongside the property’s central position and luxury specification. Council tax is described as very expensive. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and there is no recorded flood risk.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a large, high-specification central London home or a prominent pied-à-terre, who value architectural detail, light-filled spaces and a private roof terrace. It may also interest buyers prepared to accept high running costs and the realities of an intensely urban neighbourhood.
