A bright two-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Buckingham Court, a red-brick Victorian mansion block moments from Green Park and Buckingham Palace. Set over 778 sq ft, the flat offers an elegant reception room, separate kitchen and a well-proportioned layout suited to a central London home or pied-à-terre. Upper-floor position and large windows deliver plentiful natural light.
The building has recently had its external façade refurbished and the block benefits from lift access and a long lease (circa 177 years). Transport links are exceptional with Victoria, St. James’s Park and Westminster stations all within easy walking distance, making this an appealing choice for professionals who need rapid city connections.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is leasehold, the annual service charge is high (£6,944) and council tax is expensive. The local area records a very high crime rate, and there is no private outdoor space. Heating is via a community mains-gas scheme and the building’s original timber-frame walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which could influence running costs and future retrofit work.
Offered at £895,000, this well-presented apartment suits buyers seeking a stylish, central London base with period character and modern presentation, but those prioritising low ongoing charges or private outside space should factor in the service charge, council tax and location considerations.
