This expansive lateral two-bedroom apartment occupies the entire third floor of a handsome period building, offering almost 1,500 sq ft of open-plan living in the heart of Holborn. High ceilings, hardwood floors and a recent contemporary finish create a bright, flexible space ideal for entertaining or home working. Comfort is addressed with underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout, plus lift access and private roof terrace.
Positioned beside Lincoln’s Inn Fields and a short walk from Covent Garden and Holborn station, the flat suits buyers who want central convenience and cultural amenities on the doorstep. The building provides hotel gym access, adding lifestyle convenience without the need for in-apartment facilities. Chain-free sale and a long lease (113 years) simplify a swift purchase.
Buyers should weigh the premium service package and running costs: a high annual service charge and ground rent, together with a very expensive council tax band. The property’s solid brick, pre-1900 construction and secondary glazing give character but indicate limited wall insulation; energy and fabric improvements would be possible but may require planning and investment. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow in the area.
This apartment will suit purchasers seeking a central, high-spec residence with significant size and period character — either as a primary city home for professionals, a pied-à-terre, or for investors targeting premium central London lettings. Be clear on ongoing costs and urban-area considerations before proceeding.
