An unusually large fourth-floor mansion-block apartment offering 2,531 sq ft of adaptable living space, high ceilings and a balcony with spectacular views across the greenery to the north. The principal suite includes a walk-through dressing room and ensuite; three further bedrooms and three further bathrooms suit family life or multi-room sharers. The block provides porterage, estate management on site, communal garden and passenger lift, with gated first-come first-served residents’ parking and EV charging points.
The flat’s period shell — solid brick construction with secondary glazing and original high ceilings — gives character and generous proportions, while the layout of three receptions allows formal and informal living, home office or library space. St John’s Wood High Street is a short walk away for cafes, restaurants and shops; Regents Park and its facilities sit directly opposite, and transport links (including St John’s Wood Underground) are within easy reach.
Practical considerations are set out plainly: the property is leasehold with 101 years remaining, a high annual service charge (£22,594) and very expensive council tax. Parking is first-come first-served rather than allocated, and glazing and wall insulation are not modern, which could mean higher running costs and future retrofit work. The building benefits from security and porterage on set hours rather than 24-hour staffed concierge.
This is a strong proposition for a family or professional household seeking large, characterful accommodation in a prime NW8 location with immediate park access and excellent local schools. Buyers should budget for the high service charge and possible upgrades to glazing and insulation if lower running costs are a priority.
