Set on the sixth floor of the well‑regarded King's Gate development, this large two‑bedroom corner apartment offers bright, elevated city living in central Westminster. The open‑plan reception opens onto a substantial angled balcony through floor‑to‑ceiling glazing, bringing excellent natural light and far-reaching urban views. High‑quality finishes include solid wood floors, a fully integrated kitchen, underfloor heating and comfort cooling throughout.
Practicality is a strong feature: residents benefit from secure underground parking, lift access and a 24‑hour concierge. The long lease (986 years) removes common leasehold concerns, and the apartment’s 1,210 sq ft footprint is generous by central London standards — attractive both to professional owner‑occupiers and to the premium rental market.
Buyers should note the running costs: an annual service charge of approximately £16,000 and ground rent of about £800. These are significant holding costs and will affect net rental yields and outgoings for owner‑occupiers. The wider area is very affluent with excellent transport links, though local crime is recorded as very high; this may influence some buyers’ preferences despite the building’s security provision.
This property suits someone seeking a high‑spec, low‑maintenance central London base with good amenity access, or an investor targeting strong rental demand and premium short‑let potential. Buyers wishing to reduce ongoing costs should factor the service charge and council‑level environment into affordability and yield calculations.
