Set within an imposing red-brick mansion block on Carlisle Place, this generous two-bedroom flat offers nearly 984 sq ft of lateral living close to Victoria Street and St James’s Park. The flat sits on the lower ground floor and benefits from a porter, high ceilings in principal rooms, a large reception and an eat-in kitchen with integrated appliances—suitable for those who value space and period character in central Westminster.
Both bedrooms are double-sized and fitted with wardrobes, and the accommodation includes two bathrooms and a bright reception room with sash windows and original cornice detail. The building’s Victorian fabric gives the flat character, while the modern kitchen and sleek shower room reduce immediate refurbishment needs for many buyers. The long lease (approximately 141 years remaining) supports mortgage and purchase flexibility.
Practical considerations: the property is leasehold and on solid-brick construction typical of its era, likely with limited cavity wall insulation; purchasers should budget for any upgrading to insulation or glazing if desired. The flat’s lower-ground position means natural light is good but less than upper-floor apartments; viewings will confirm how the exposure suits you. Local area indicators show a very affluent neighbourhood with excellent broadband and mobile signal, but recorded crime levels are very high — important for buyers prioritising privacy and security.
This home suits buyers seeking a spacious, characterful pied-à-terre or a central London investment with strong rental demand. Its location places shops, restaurants, transport and several highly regarded schools within easy reach, making it practical for professionals and small families who want immediate access to Westminster amenities.
