24-hour on-site security in a prestigious red-brick mansion block

Area records higher crime rates; check security and insurance costs
Set in an elegant Victorian mansion block on a quiet Marylebone street, this two-bedroom flat combines period charm with practical central-London living. High ceilings and large sash/bay windows create a bright, airy feel across the generous double reception, two double bedrooms and a sizeable bathroom. The separate fitted kitchen and plentiful built-in storage make the layout genuinely liveable for couples, sharers or a small family.
Practical strengths include a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (968 years), 24-hour security, double glazing, and a communal heating scheme. Baker Street and Marylebone High Street are both an easy walk away, giving fast Zone 1 transport links and abundant local shops, cafés and green space at Regent’s Park.
Be clear about the trade-offs: the building’s solid-brick Victorian construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation and would benefit from targeted thermal improvements. The property is in an area with relatively high crime levels, so prospective buyers should factor security and insurance considerations despite the block’s 24-hour on-site security. Council Tax band D and community heating mean running costs are moderate but should be checked.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a spacious period home in a prime central location — appealing to professionals, small families or investors who value long lease security and strong rental demand. It offers immediate move-in potential with clear scope for cosmetic updating or energy-efficiency improvements to add long-term value.
