Summary - CHARLESWORTH HOUSE, 48 APARTMENT 48 STANHOPE GARDENS LONDON SW7 5RD
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Garden-square position with porter, lift and secure underground parking.
Third-floor two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment, approx. 818 sq ft
Set on the third floor of a handsome Regency stucco building, this recently renovated two-bedroom apartment offers about 818 sq ft of lateral living in a coveted garden square. The open-plan reception and kitchen are bright and generously proportioned, with large windows, high ceilings and a fireplace that combine period character with contemporary finishes. A large principal bedroom with ensuite and a second double bedroom sit alongside a separate shower room, making the layout convenient for family living or professional sharers.
Practical benefits include a porter, lift, secure underground parking space and access to the communal garden square, all rare for central London. The flat is part of a community heating scheme and runs on mains gas; glazing is double glazed, though the original solid brick walls likely lack modern cavity insulation. The long lease (969 years) offers ownership security.
Notable costs and considerations are clear: the property is leasehold, ground rent is relatively high at £1,275, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The immediate area records very high crime levels, which may concern some buyers despite the building’s secure features. Buyers should also note that the building is pre-1900 and may require ongoing maintenance typical of older structures, even with the recent renovation.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking an elegant central London base near museums, parks and excellent transport links. It appeals to families looking for proximity to top schools, professionals who value quick Tube access and investors wanting a well-presented asset in a prime SW7 location, provided they accept the leasehold costs and local crime context.
