This expansive two-bedroom penthouse occupies over 1,500 sq ft in a baroque, characterful building moments from Covent Garden and the West End. A grand reception with high ceilings, feature windows, fireplace and hardwood floors leads to a private sheltered balcony, creating an impressive city entertaining space with direct lift access from the lobby.
The apartment offers two large ensuite bedrooms with ample storage and a well-maintained, modern kitchen. Practical upgrades include triple glazing and fast broadband; communal life is supported by an on-site concierge and porter. The long lease (973 years) provides secure tenure.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with a high annual service charge of £10,574 and a small ground rent of £250. On-street parking only. The immediate neighbourhood registers very high crime and significant area deprivation, which may affect lifestyle and resale considerations despite excellent transport links.
This home suits buyers seeking a large, character-filled central London residence with strong transport access and concierge services, and who are comfortable with higher running costs and inner-city neighbourhood challenges.
