Large, characterful Marylebone apartment with three beds and central location.
1,600 sq ft lateral apartment with three bedrooms and three bathrooms
Set within a red-brick mansion block on Bickenhall Street, this generous 1,600 sq ft lateral apartment offers classic period character alongside contemporary living. Three double bedrooms, three bathrooms and two reception rooms provide flexible space for family living, professional sharers or a central London pied-à-terre. High ceilings and large windows fill the rooms with light, while engineered hardwood floors and modern finishes give the apartment a fresh feel.
The location is a key strength: Marylebone’s shops, restaurants and cultural attractions are on the doorstep, with excellent transport links across the city. Practical benefits include mains gas heating, double glazing (install date unconfirmed) and fast broadband and mobile signal. A long lease (968 years) offers tenure security for buyers.
Notable drawbacks are presented plainly. There is no private outdoor space visible, and the building dates from the 1930s–40s with solid brick walls likely without modern cavity insulation, which could affect heating bills. Council tax is described as quite expensive and local crime levels are high; prospective buyers should factor these points into suitability and insurance costs.
Important safety and due-diligence notes: information about external wall fire safety has not been received. Buyers must make their own enquiries and obtain independent professional advice on any material matters before making an offer. This apartment will appeal to those seeking a spacious, centrally located home with period charm and modern convenience, provided they accept the urban trade-offs and complete appropriate checks.
