Spacious, modern two-bedroom apartment in the heart of Covent Garden with long lease and lift access..
Large open-plan reception, kitchen and dining room (approx. 914 sq ft)
High-spec kitchen with integrated Miele appliances and air conditioning
Two double bedrooms; one with ensuite and built-in storage
Lift access to third-floor apartment in period building
Leasehold with 988 years remaining (long lease)
High service charge (£9,514) and quite expensive council tax
Very slow broadband in the block; may impact home working
Local crime levels rated very high — consider security implications
Set behind a period façade, this spacious two-bedroom apartment on the third floor combines classic character with contemporary fittings. The large open-plan reception, dining and kitchen area (approx. 914 sq ft total) is bright and well laid out for entertaining, fitted with integrated Miele appliances and air conditioning for year-round comfort. Lift access and generous bedroom sizes — one with an ensuite — make daily living straightforward in central Covent Garden.
Practical points are clear and honest: the property is leasehold with an exceptionally long remaining term (988 years), but service charges are high (£9,514) and council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband speeds in the block are very slow, and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, which may affect running costs despite the modern heating system.
This apartment suits buyers seeking a central West End base or a high-end city pied-à-terre. It’s within easy walking distance of Covent Garden and Charing Cross stations, surrounded by restaurants, shops and cultural amenities. Prospective buyers should factor ongoing running costs, local crime levels (very high) and slow broadband when assessing long-term suitability.
