- Secure underground parking; third-floor with lift and concierge

This third-floor one-bedroom apartment sits in the heart of the West End, a short walk from theatres, dining and multiple underground stations. At 603 sq ft the layout is efficient for a single person or couple, and the property includes rare-for-area secure underground parking, lift access and a concierge – conveniences that make central living easier.
The long lease (179 years) is a strong ownership feature, and the property benefits from double glazing and mains gas served via a community heating scheme. Excellent mobile signal and fast broadband make the flat well-suited to professionals who work from home or students attending nearby universities.
Buyers should note a number of practical considerations: the service charge is approximately £7,000 per year (above average) and ground rent is £150 annually. Council tax is described as expensive. The wider location records very high crime levels and high area deprivation, which may concern some purchasers. The building’s walls are likely uninsulated (system-built), which could affect running costs and future renovation scope.
This apartment is a strong option for someone prioritising central West End access, underground parking and lift convenience, and who accepts higher communal costs and the realities of a busy inner-city location. There is sensible potential to modernise cosmetic elements to increase comfort and rental appeal.
