A well-proportioned two-bedroom flat in the heart of Mayfair, arranged on the fifth floor of a period building with 24-hour concierge and lift access. The reception and dining rooms link via double doors, creating flexible entertaining space; large sash-style windows give good natural light and street/roofscape views. The principal bedroom is generous and the second bedroom works well as a guest room or home office. The apartment extends to about 904 sq ft and benefits from an unusually long lease (c. 949 years) and a nominal ground rent of £5.
This property will suit buyers who value central Mayfair location and low immediate holding costs — community heating, concierge and secure building management are practical advantages. Transport links and the proximity of Green Park and Hyde Park add to the address’s long-term appeal, and the reception layout offers straightforward potential to modernise or reconfigure to increase rental or resale value.
Buyers should note several material points. The building is reported to have some fire-safety matters; further information will be provided to interested parties and should be reviewed carefully. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels and council tax is described as quite expensive. The property is leasehold.
Overall, this is a central, well-located Mayfair apartment presented to a good standard with solid investment fundamentals — exceptional lease length and concierge — balanced by building-level fire-safety issues, slow broadband and higher local running costs. Those seeking a prime central pied-à-terre or an investment in a landmark neighbourhood should investigate the building’s fire-safety information and running-cost profile before committing.
