Summary - 43 Balcombe Street NW1 6HH
5 bed 4 bath Terraced
Rare five‑bedroom Georgian townhouse with garden and lower‑ground flat in central Marylebone.
Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse, built circa 1818
This Grade II Listed Georgian townhouse on Balcombe Street offers classic period proportions and generous space across five storeys. At 2,873 sq ft the house retains high ceilings, original moldings, sash windows and multiple fireplaces, with a garden and first‑floor terrace adding rare outdoor space in central Marylebone. A self‑contained lower‑ground flat provides potential rental income or separate family accommodation.
The property is well positioned for transport and amenities — Marylebone and Baker Street stations are within a short walk, and the area is served by excellent mobile and fast broadband. The layout suits a large family seeking central living with room for home offices or an au pair suite, while also appealing to buyers wanting an income stream from the lower‑ground flat.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and likely increase refurbishment costs and approval lead times. The EPC is D and the solid brick walls are understood to lack insulation, so upgrading energy efficiency will be costly. Council tax is very expensive and the local crime level is recorded as very high — factors to weigh for family purchasers.
Overall this is a rare, characterful freehold townhouse in a prime London location, offering period charm and flexible accommodation but requiring sympathetic, and potentially costly, listed‑building works and energy improvements.
