A bright, contemporary two-bedroom apartment in the heart of WC2B, arranged around an open-plan living area with a small private balcony. The property’s large windows and modern fixtures create a low-maintenance, city-centre home suitable for professionals or investors seeking central London stock with long lease security.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (988 years), two bathrooms, integrated kitchen appliances and building amenities such as lift access and concierge. The 823 sq ft layout is average-sized for central London and benefits from fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for renters and home workers.
Buyers should note material ongoing costs: an above-average service charge (£6,689) and a relatively high ground rent (£600). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The building uses a community heating scheme, which may limit individual control. The immediate area is an inner-city, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high crime levels reported; factor this into rental demand profiles and personal lifestyle preferences.
Overall this apartment offers modern, low-upkeep city living with long-lease security and strong connectivity. It suits investors targeting central-let demand or buyers wanting a convenient London base, provided they accept higher service charges and inner-city considerations.
