Set within an imposing red-brick mansion block on a sought-after Marylebone street, this one-bedroom lower-ground flat combines period character with contemporary updates. High ceilings and bay windows give the reception and bedroom a spacious feel, while a modern kitchen and bathroom keep the flat move-in ready. At about 557 sq ft, the layout suits a single buyer or couple wanting central London living with room to entertain.
Practical strengths include fitted bedroom wardrobes, a clear long lease (share of freehold with c.979 years remaining), and good digital connectivity — excellent mobile signal and fast broadband already in place. The location places Baker Street and Marylebone High Street amenities, restaurants and transport links within easy walking distance, and the flat benefits from a very affluent neighbourhood profile and minimal flood risk.
Important negatives are factual: the flat is on the lower-ground level, which can reduce daylight despite the large windows, and the local crime level is reported as very high. Service charges are above average at £4,500 per year; ground rent is small (£100). These costs and the lower-ground position should be weighed alongside the flat’s central location and long lease.
Overall this is a characterful, well-presented one-bedroom in a prime central postcode. It will suit a first buyer or owner-occupier seeking a stylish, low-maintenance base in Marylebone, provided they accept higher communal costs and the realities of a lower-ground apartment.
