A compact one-bedroom ground-floor apartment in a gated development moments from Covent Garden Piazza and the Royal Opera House. The building’s early 20th-century character and a quiet communal courtyard give this home central West End appeal while remaining discreetly tucked away from busy streets.
Well suited to an investor or a buyer seeking a pied-à-terre, the flat is chain free and offered with a modest council tax band and broadly manageable service charge. Good transport links and proximity to major universities, theatres and restaurants make it easy to let or enjoy city living on foot.
Buyers should note the property’s small footprint (304 sq ft) and basic electric room heating. Solid brick walls likely lack insulation and the apartment will need updating to modern heating and energy standards. The leasehold tenure, service charges and potential additional leasepack fees are material considerations.
Overall, this is a convenient, characterful West End flat with clear rental and lifestyle potential for buyers prepared to accept a compact layout and to invest in energy and comfort improvements.
