Summary - New Cavendish Street, Highwood House, W1W W1W 6YH
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Newly renovated two-bedroom flat in central Fitzrovia, chain-free with excellent transport links..
Chain-free two-bedroom flat with 988-year lease
Set within the restored Edwardian Highwood House in Fitzrovia, this newly renovated two-bedroom flat offers compact city living with refined period character. The open-plan living area benefits from large windows and abundant natural light, creating a welcoming main space for daily life and entertaining. With a long lease (988 years) and no onward chain, the purchase process is straightforward for a first-time buyer seeking a ready-to-move-in home.
Practical running costs and communal responsibility are notable: an average service charge of £1,982 and ground rent of £350 must be factored into budgeting, alongside above-average council tax. Heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators; glazing is secondary and the building’s solid brick construction likely has limited insulation, which may affect energy use despite the C EPC rating.
The location is a primary selling point. Excellent transport links (Goodge Street, Great Portland Street, Oxford Circus) and immediate access to Regent’s Park, multiple cultural attractions, shops and cafés suit an active central-London lifestyle. Several leading schools and universities are within easy reach, making the flat appropriate for young professionals, students with families nearby, or buyers prioritising connectivity and local amenities.
Buyers should note the local context: the wider neighbourhood is classified as a multicultural student area with very high crime levels and indicators of deprivation. While the apartment itself is newly refurbished to a high specification, purchasers may wish to check security measures and ongoing management standards in the building.
