Summary - Hand Axe Yard, London, WC1X WC1X 8BD
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Modern three-bed townhouse with garden, concierge and excellent transport links.
Three double bedrooms including principal ensuite
Set within a gated development in the heart of King’s Cross, this contemporary three-bedroom townhouse offers 1,249 sq ft of city living with practical outdoor space. The lower-level open-plan living and kitchen flow directly onto a private garden terrace; a second-floor balcony gives extra outdoor access. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite and there is a main bathroom plus a basement WC. Wooden flooring in the main living areas complements the modern finish throughout.
Residents benefit from secure on-site services and amenities including concierge, 24-hour CCTV, swipe-card entry and a gym — useful for commuters and professionals who want convenience and peace of mind. Connectivity is exceptional: King’s Cross St Pancras station is a short walk away, providing Underground, national rail and Eurostar links.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold with c.990 years remaining but carries a ground rent of £600 (noted as expensive) and very high council tax. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than independent boilers. The immediate area records very high crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect suitability for some buyers despite regeneration and nearby amenities.
This townhouse will suit buyers seeking a modern, low-maintenance city base with excellent transport links and building services. It also offers potential as a buy-to-let or pied-à-terre, though purchasers should factor in the running costs (ground rent, council tax) and local safety considerations when assessing long-term value.
