Set on the top floor of a well-maintained 1930s red-brick block, this two-bedroom apartment offers a bright reception room, good natural light to the principal bedroom and a practical separate dining area. Its NW8 location puts Regent’s Park, St John’s Wood High Street and the Jubilee line within easy walking distance — a strong selling point for both first‑time buyers and rental demand.
The flat requires modernisation throughout; new kitchen and bathroom fittings and cosmetic updating are needed to realise full value. The building does, however, provide useful communal amenities including a passenger lift, on-site caretaker, storage room and communal garden access, which help offset day-to-day maintenance for owners.
Consider the running costs and tenure when assessing affordability: the property is leasehold, with a long lease, an annual service charge of approximately £3,034 plus a reserve fund of about £900, and council tax above average. Overall size is modest at 641 sq ft, so the layout suits compact family living, sharers or a buy-to-let investor aiming for strong central London demand.
