Bright two-bedroom penthouse with terrace, porter and communal gardens near St John's Wood.
South-west-facing private terrace with city views
Set on Grove End Road in a well-regarded portered block, this two-bedroom penthouse offers bright, contemporary living with a private south-west-facing terrace and far-reaching city views. The open living area flows to a modern kitchen finished with quartz worktops, Schuller cupboards, a steam oven and warming drawer — a practical, high-spec fit suited to busy households or professionals. Smart heating (TADO), secondary glazing and a passenger lift add everyday convenience, while attractive communal gardens and porterage enhance security and lifestyle.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is leasehold (circa 130 years remaining) with an above-average service charge (£5,185) and higher-than-average council tax. The wider area records above-average crime rates; buyers should factor building security and personal safety measures into their plans. The flat is mid/upper-floor in an Edwardian mansion block constructed in the 1980s, so while well-maintained, finish and communal fabric reflect mixed period and modern elements rather than a newly built scheme.
This apartment suits families and professionals seeking proximity to St John’s Wood High Street, excellent local schools (including The American School), and green spaces such as Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill. Good transport links (St John’s Wood and Maida Vale ~0.5 miles) make commuting straightforward. Overall, the flat offers immediate move-in convenience, easy maintenance and potential long-term value from its location; planned viewing and inspection will clarify exact room sizes and specification details.
