Chain-free share of freehold with excellent transport and park access.
Bay window and high ceilings maximise natural light
Bright, chain-free one-bedroom flat in a handsome red-brick building close to St John's Wood high street and Regent’s Park. The apartment benefits from a bay window and high ceilings that amplify natural light, engineered wood flooring in the kitchen, and an additional storage room useful for bikes or seasonal items. Share of freehold and a very long lease (981 years) provide tenure security for a first purchase.
The location is a major selling point: shops, cafes and restaurants are immediately on the doorstep, St John’s Wood Underground (Jubilee) is under 500 metres, and open space at Regent’s Park and Lord’s Cricket Ground are within easy walking distance. The flat’s room proportions suit a single buyer or couple looking for a comfortable central base with straightforward access to amenities and transport.
Buyers should note a few practical points. The building has secondary glazing and solid brick walls (no assumed cavity insulation), so heating efficiency may be lower than modern stock. Service charge is £1,017 (average) and council tax sits at band D. Local crime statistics are above average for the area; prospective purchasers should confirm up-to-date local safety information and viewing times.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful one-bedroom with secure tenure and superb central NW8 location — ideal for a first-time buyer seeking a bright, manageable home close to parks and transport, but be mindful of energy efficiency and local safety considerations.
