Compact contemporary one-bed near Regent’s Park — ideal first-time buyers.
Third-floor one-bedroom with private balcony and lift access
Set on the third floor of a purpose-built block with concierge, this one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, contemporary layout a short walk from St John’s Wood station and moments from Regent’s Park. The reception with dining area and kitchenette opens onto a private balcony, bringing light into an efficient 456 sq ft footprint designed for easy city living. Lift access and a managed communal heating scheme add everyday convenience.
The location is the flat’s strongest asset: elite local amenities, good schools nearby and excellent transport links make it a particularly attractive choice for a first-time buyer seeking urban lifestyle and future resale potential. The building’s early-20th-century construction gives period character externally while the interior reads contemporary and practical, suited to single occupancy or a couple.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property; confirm lease length, service charge and ground rent before committing. The building’s solid-brick fabric (original construction) likely lacks modern cavity wall insulation, so some retrofit work could be needed for improved thermal performance and running costs. Local crime statistics are above average for the area; prospective purchasers may want to satisfy themselves on security measures.
Overall, this is a well-positioned, straightforward one-bedroom in a sought-after pocket of NW8. It suits buyers prioritising location and low-maintenance living who are comfortable with leasehold ownership and may want to budget for modest energy-efficiency improvements.
