Summary - ABBEY COURT FLAT 17 ABBEY ROAD LONDON NW8 0AU
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious period apartment awaiting full refurbishment in prime St John’s Wood.
Third-floor (fourth in US) apartment with lift and balcony
Set on the fourth floor of an elegant Edwardian mansion block on Abbey Road, this unmodernised three-bedroom flat offers a rare chance to create a bespoke central London home. The apartment benefits from an intercommunicating reception and dining room, a private balcony, lift access and an entryphone — practical features for city living. At approximately 1,124 sq ft, rooms are generous and the building’s period character and high ceilings remain evident.
Important practical considerations are straightforward: the lease has only about 44–45 years remaining, which will likely prevent many mortgage lenders from lending and means buyers should be prepared to purchase with cash or seek specialist financing. The flat requires renovation throughout, so allow for refurbishment costs and planning for modernisation. Service charges are around £5,600 pa and council tax is described as expensive.
This property suits a cash buyer or investor willing to take on a renovation project in a prime NW8 location. Nearby schools include highly regarded state and independent options, while local amenities, transport links and fast broadband make the area convenient for professional occupants. Crime statistics are above average for the area, so consider security measures when budgeting and planning works.
With a thoughtful refurbishment, the flat could be transformed into a bright, family-friendly London residence or a high-spec pied-à-terre, making the most of the building’s period features and desirable St John’s Wood setting.
