Summary - Apartment 26 Halifax House, 5, Fenwick Street L2 0NZ
2 bed 2 bath Flat
Spacious period flat with long lease and rental potential.
Extremely large 1,768 sq ft two-bedroom duplex penthouse
A striking Victorian penthouse arranged over three of the building's four floors, this two-bedroom duplex occupies an unusually large 1,768 sq ft footprint in the busy Fenwick Street area. High ceilings and historic sandstone elevations give genuine period character, while individually designed interiors include a large living/kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and two bathrooms across the split levels. Several apartments have mezzanines and roof windows to maximise light.
This apartment will appeal to investors or buyers seeking generous, flexible city accommodation in a cosmopolitan, student-oriented neighbourhood. The building includes a ground-floor bar and restaurant, creating daytime and evening activity that supports local rental demand but can also bring noise. The long lease (977 years) is a practical advantage for buyers and landlords.
Buyers should note material practicalities: heating relies on electric room heaters rather than central heating, glazing is secondary and the original sandstone walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband speeds are reported very slow and the local area records higher crime levels, factors that may affect rental income, occupant comfort and running costs. Ground rent is noted at £300 (average).
Overall this is a rare, very large city-flat with period charm and clear rental potential in a lively central location. It is best suited to an investor or buyer willing to accept and manage the building’s urban context and the apartment’s retrofit needs (heating, insulation, broadband) to unlock full value.
