This well-proportioned two-bedroom period apartment offers 893 sq ft of living space in a central SW1P location, moments from Westminster Cathedral and Victoria transport links. The reception room retains Georgian character with high ceilings, a fireplace and built-in shelving; the kitchen is fitted with integrated Miele appliances and the apartment includes two bathrooms and built-in bedroom storage. The layout suits professionals or a small family seeking space and period detail close to the West End and City.
Practical ownership features include a long lease (approx. 174 years) with a share of freehold, vacant possession and chain-free sale. The service charge is approximately £5,500 per year (including a sinking fund) and ground rent is £100 per year. Council tax is described as expensive, so running costs should be budgeted accordingly.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building’s solid brick construction likely has limited wall insulation, which may affect heating efficiency and could justify retrofit work. The local area records very high crime levels; prospective purchasers should review local safety data and building security. Overall this apartment is a spacious, characterful central home with clear potential, but with above-average service charges and some retrofit and local-safety factors to consider.
