A bright sixth-floor studio in a celebrated 1930s mansion block, offering compact city living with strong rental and commuter appeal. The open-plan layout includes a fitted wall bed, integrated kitchen appliances and a bay window that brings in daylight. Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge, three lifts and heating plus hot water included in the service charge, simplifying running costs.
The flat is sold with a long 970-year share of freehold, making it a solid tenure for buy-to-let or long-term ownership. Location is a key strength: steps from Russell Square station, close to King’s Cross/St Pancras, the Brunswick Centre and many universities, which supports steady tenant demand and convenience for central London living.
There are material costs to consider: the average service charge is around £4,000 per year, and the building’s age (built 1930) means communal maintenance may be needed over time. Crime levels are reported as very high for the area, so buyers should factor in security and insurance considerations despite the concierge service.
This studio suits investors seeking central-let potential or a single buyer wanting a low-maintenance city base. Viewings will best suit those prioritising location, communal facilities and long lease security over generous internal space.
