Summary - BUCKINGHAM COURT, 78 FLAT 52 BUCKINGHAM GATE LONDON SW1E 6PE
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright, turnkey apartment ideal for pied-à-terre or central London rental demand.
Fifth-floor two-bedroom apartment with high ceilings and strong natural light
Set on the fifth floor of an imposing period building, this two-bedroom apartment offers 751 sq ft of bright, well-presented accommodation with high ceilings and strong natural light. The property is front-facing and arranged as an elegant reception room, separate kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom — presented ready to move into and suited to owners, pied-à-terre buyers or investors seeking a central Westminster holding.
The building benefits from a manned reception, passenger lifts to all floors and a recent external refurbishment. The 177-year lease provides long-term security, while an EPC rating of C and a community mains-gas heating scheme keep running costs comparatively reasonable for central London. Secondary glazing helps reduce external noise in this busy location.
Location is a primary strength: opposite Wellington House and moments from St James’s Park, Buckingham Palace and major transport hubs (Victoria, Westminster, St James’s Park). The neighbourhood offers extensive dining, cultural and shopping amenities, strong rental demand and excellent connectivity across London.
Buyers should note material costs of occupation: an above-average service charge (£6,816 pa) and an expensive council tax band. The area records high crime statistics, which may affect some buyers’ preferences. The building’s solid-brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so buyers looking for maximum energy efficiency should allow for potential upgrades.
Overall, this is a versatile, conveniently located flat that combines turnkey presentation with long lease security. It suits investors seeking central rental appeal, professionals wanting a short-stay London base, or anyone prioritising location and condition over low running costs.
