This compact fourth-floor flat in Christchurch House offers a newly refurbished, practical base in the heart of SW1. The open-plan living/kitchen and double bedroom are finished to a high standard, with good natural light from street-facing windows and modern fixtures throughout. At 438 sq ft the layout is efficient and suits a single occupant or couple seeking central London convenience.
The location is the standout: Caxton Street sits moments from Victoria Street, major transport links and central amenities including shops, restaurants and theatres. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, making the flat well suited for city professionals or buyers seeking a buy-to-let in a high-demand area.
Buyers should note the material running costs and communal arrangements: the service charge is £5,375 per year and heating/hot water are supplied via a community scheme, which limits individual control and may affect bills. Council tax sits above average (Band E) and the building records a very high local crime level, which may concern some purchasers.
Practical points: the lease has about 140 years remaining and ground rent is modest at £250 per year. The property is part of a 1967–1975 system-built block with double glazing installed before 2002 and assumed lack of wall insulation, which could affect long-term energy efficiency. Overall this is an attractive, central apartment with immediate move-in appeal but some ongoing service and security considerations to factor in.
