Refurbished 2-bed Mayfair flat with long lease and porter — high service charges apply.
Recently refurbished two-bedroom, two-bath apartment with en-suite principal bedroom
Share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (991 years)
Approx. 831 sq ft; modern open-plan living and integrated kitchen
24-hour porterage; central Mayfair location near shops and transport
Off-street parking available, on a first-come, first-served basis
High annual service charge (£8,930) and relatively costly council tax
Local area records very high crime levels — an important local consideration
Building has solid brick walls; likely limited wall insulation
Set on the eighth floor of Chesterfield House in Mayfair, this recently refurbished 2-bedroom, 2-bath apartment delivers contemporary urban living in a prestigious central location. The principal bedroom includes an en‑suite; the second bedroom benefits from a separate bathroom. The open, modern kitchen and living area are finished to a high standard and suit professional couples or buyers seeking a ready-to-move-in Mayfair pied-à‑terre.
Practical conveniences include 24‑hour porterage, a very long lease (991 years) and share of freehold, which provide ownership security unusual for central London flats. Off‑street parking is available on a first‑come, first‑served basis, useful for occasional drivers but not guaranteed. The property occupies c. 831 sq ft and is heated via the building’s community gas scheme.
Buyers should note the substantial annual service charge (£8,930) and a small ground rent (£25). Council tax is described as quite expensive. The wider area records very high crime levels — an important local factor for families and some owners — and the building’s solid‑brick construction may lack modern wall insulation. These are factual points to weigh against the Mayfair address and the apartment’s turnkey condition.
This apartment suits buyers prioritising location, finish and long lease security: professionals seeking a central home, investors targeting strong rental demand in Mayfair, or purchasers wanting a low‑maintenance central London base. If proximity to high‑end shops, restaurants and transport is key, this flat offers a rare combination of finish and tenure, provided you accept the ongoing service costs and local crime considerations.
