Summary - BEDFORD COURT MANSIONS FLAT 56 BEDFORD AVENUE LONDON WC1B 3AD
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Portered Edwardian mansion block with private garden access
Set within an iconic portered red‑brick mansion block on the border of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia, this elegant two‑bedroom flat offers classic period detail and a generous 916 sq ft layout. High ceilings, a bay‑fronted reception room with an ornate fireplace, and built‑in shelving create a comfortable central London living space that suits professionals, students and investors seeking strong location credentials.
Practical benefits include a long lease (circa 892 years), share of freehold, eligibility for a key to Bedford Square private gardens, and resident parking permits via Camden Council. The apartment has a separate kitchen, bathroom with underfloor heating (also in kitchen), and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators — all useful for year‑round comfort.
Buyers should account for the material running costs and local context. Service charges are substantial at £7,188 pa and the property sits in Camden Band F (council tax around £2,941.54). The area records very high crime rates, which may concern some purchasers despite the portered block and central location.
Overall this flat combines period charm, strong transport and academic links (near UCL, UCH, LSE, Tottenham Court Road Elizabeth Line) with long‑term security of tenure. It suits a buyer looking for a well‑presented central London home with clear rental or live‑in potential, provided they budget for higher service and council costs.
