Bright, compact and move-in-ready, this one-bedroom flat sits on the sixth floor of a modern brick development near St James Street. The open-plan living/kitchen opens onto a private balcony that brings welcome outdoor space and borough views — a rare find in London one-beds. Built in 2020, the apartment benefits from contemporary finishes, integrated appliances and oak flooring, reducing immediate maintenance needs.
The layout suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor: a generous double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a well-appointed bathroom and useful hallway storage keep the footprint efficient and practical. Lift access, secure entry, bike storage and a communal podium garden add convenience and lifestyle perks. Transport links are a strong selling point — St James Street Overground and the Victoria Line are within easy walking distance, connecting quickly to central London.
Be clear about the communal responsibilities and local context. The flat is leasehold (very long lease remaining) with an average service charge of £1,134 and a community heating scheme; buyers should review the service charge schedule and communal management. The area has high recorded crime and local deprivation indicators, which may influence insurance, lettings and resale prospects.
Overall this is a sensible, low-fuss London starter home or rental opportunity: contemporary, well-specified and well located, but with communal costs and local area factors to consider before purchase.
