Large elegant flat with private terrace near Covent Garden and Charing Cross.
Large 1,359 sq ft central West End flat with high ceilings
A rare, spacious three-bedroom flat in the heart of the West End, arranged over a large 1,359 sq ft footprint with high ceilings and generous entertaining space. The contemporary open-plan reception and integrated kitchen open onto a private patio terrace — ideal for al-fresco dining and socialising — while two double bedrooms both benefit from ensuite bathrooms and fitted wardrobes. A study provides flexible use as a third bedroom or home office.
Practical advantages include a long share-of-freehold lease (139 years remaining), mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for remote working and streaming. The location is exceptional for culture and transport: Covent Garden, theatres, galleries and Charing Cross station are all within a short walk.
Buyers should note material negatives: the property sits in an area with very high crime statistics and overall local area deprivation, and the building is a pre-1900 solid brick construction likely without cavity insulation which may affect heat retention. Annual service charges are high (£7,934) and council tax is described as quite expensive — factor these into running costs.
This home suits buyers seeking a stylish central London pied-à-terre or an owner-occupier wanting generous living and entertaining space close to major cultural amenities. It will also appeal to those who prioritise location and character but are prepared to accept higher running costs and urban security considerations.
