Set on the sixth floor of an attractive 1930s portered mansion block, this two-bedroom apartment offers generous living space (approximately 756 sq ft) and classic period character. Large windows and mid-century hardwood flooring create a bright living room; heating and hot water are included within the service charge, simplifying running costs. Lift access and an on-site porter add everyday convenience for city living.
The location is a major selling point: moments from Russell Square Underground, The Brunswick shopping centre and several universities including UCL, LSE and King’s. That makes the flat suitable for professionals needing excellent transport links and investors targeting student or short-term lets. The property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
Buyers must note a material drawback: the lease has around 45 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending on this term, which could restrict purchase options and affect valuations. Service charge and ground rent total £3,602 and £100 per year respectively, and council tax is in a higher band — factor these ongoing costs into budgeting.
For purchasers able to buy cash or arrange specialist lending, the flat provides immediate occupancy and rental potential in a highly connected Bloomsbury address. The building’s solid-brick construction and retained period details give scope for sympathetic updating, though buyers should confirm lease and financial details before proceeding.
