Set on the third floor of a well-kept Victorian mansion block, this generous three-bedroom apartment offers 1,550 sq ft of traditional living space with high ceilings and fine period detail. The west-facing reception room and a spacious eat-in kitchen give flexible daily living, while two bathrooms suit family life or shared occupation. The building benefits from porter services and attractive communal areas, and a private garage provides welcome off-street parking in this central Westminster location.
Carlisle Place is unexpectedly quiet for its proximity to Victoria and local attractions — Westminster Cathedral, St James’s Park and a wide range of restaurants and theatres are all within easy walking distance. Transport links are excellent (Victoria mainline and Tube), and local amenities and well-regarded schools are close by, making the flat suitable for families wanting central city life with manageable walking distances.
Practical points to note: the lease has about 141 years remaining, and the apartment uses mains gas with radiator heating from a boiler. Running costs are a material consideration: the service charge is high (£12,059pa) and council tax is described as quite expensive. There is a very high local crime statistic, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation — energy upgrades or refurbishment work may be desirable for long-term comfort and efficiency.
This property will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful central home with porterage and parking, or investors targeting premium Westminster locations. Expect excellent communal presentation and period charm, balanced against above-average service costs and local safety statistics.
