Set on the ground floor of a red‑brick Georgian Revival block, this 870 sq ft apartment offers a practical two‑bed, two‑bath layout and ready-to-live-in condition. The large 18ft reception/dining room and two double bedrooms suit a small family or professionals wanting space near St John’s Wood. Communal porterage and an attractive shared garden add convenience and outdoor space without private maintenance.
Ownership is secure: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (950 years) removes typical leasehold concerns. The building’s period construction gives character — high ceilings and decorative mouldings — though walls are likely uninsulated, which could affect heating efficiency.
Buyers should factor in ongoing costs: a high service charge (£10,764) and above-average council tax will materially increase running costs. The area is very affluent with excellent mobile and broadband coverage and quick access to the Jubilee line, but recorded local crime levels are high; prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves on local safety and security arrangements.
Overall, this is a well‑presented, spacious ground‑floor home in a sought after pocket, offering immediate occupation or straightforward cosmetic updating to increase value. It’s best suited to buyers who value location, communal amenities and a long lease, and who can accommodate the notable service and tax costs.
