Set within the handsome Harcourt Mansions, this first-floor Victorian conversion delivers unusually large accommodation for a two-bedroom flat — around 1,150 sq ft — with high ceilings and generous principal rooms. The bright reception room with a bay window and two double bedrooms suit purchasers wanting space to work from home, share, or raise a family. The flat is offered chain free with a share of freehold and rare off-street parking, strengthening practical day-to-day appeal.
The interior blends period proportions with practical updates: double glazing, a modern bathroom, and a functional kitchen with original character. The long lease (circa 940 years remaining) and no ground rent reported are strong tenure advantages. EPC C reflects reasonable energy performance for the building type but there is assumed solid-brick construction with limited wall insulation, so further efficiency improvements are possible.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property sits in an area with higher recorded crime and notable local deprivation, which may affect resale pricing and insurance. The service charge is approximately £1,620 per year, and there is no private garden shown. Some cosmetic updating may be desired in places (kitchen shows wear), so budget for light refurbishment if a fully modern finish is required.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful period flat that delivers flexibility and strong transport links into central London. It will suit families seeking generous rooms near good local schools, investors attracted to size and lease length, or professionals needing roomy accommodation with convenient commuting options.
