Set within a handsome Edwardian mansion block in the heart of Bloomsbury, this unusually large four-bedroom apartment offers almost 1,500 sq ft of adaptable space. High ceilings, large sash windows and original period features provide a grand blank canvas ideal for reconfiguration and uplift. The elevated ground‑floor position and long reception spaces create flexible living arrangements for sharers, a family conversion or a high-value resale.
The property is sold with a recently extended lease of approximately 172 years and no ground rent. It is offered with vacant possession and no forward chain, and a Level 3 RICS survey report is available to serious buyers — useful for planning a full refurbishment. Excellent transport links surround the building: Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road are minutes away, with multiple mainline and Underground connections nearby.
A full modernisation is required throughout: the apartment needs comprehensive updating to kitchens, bathrooms, heating interfaces and likely window repairs or draught-proofing. The current single bathroom for four bedrooms will require attention for family use or premium rental. Service charges are substantial (£6,386 pa) but include communal heating, hot water, caretaker and security — factor this into running costs alongside Council Tax Band F.
This is a clear opportunity for an investor or purchaser who can take on a renovation project in a highly sought central London location. With long lease security, no ground rent and strong local demand from academic and professional tenants, the apartment presents tangible scope to add significant value through thoughtful refurbishment.
