A generous, lateral four-double-bedroom apartment arranged across 2,178 sqft on the third floor of a handsome mansion block in Victoria. High 3m ceilings, period mouldings, original fireplaces and sash/bay windows create formal reception rooms with abundant natural light and a private balcony with southerly city views, including glimpses of Westminster Cathedral.
The layout suits family life: two reception rooms, a separate kitchen, four bedrooms and three bathrooms provide flexible living and entertaining space. Practical benefits include lift access, a dedicated porter and a share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (984 years). Broadband speeds and mobile signal are excellent for home working.
Buyers should note running costs and fabric details: a high service charge (£12,143.80pa payable quarterly) and Westminster Band H council tax make this an expensive central home to maintain. The building is solid-brick construction (likely uninsulated) and the apartment has an EPC rating of D; upgrading insulation and services presents a sensible improvement project.
This property will suit buyers seeking a substantial period family apartment in a prime central location who accept the premium ongoing costs and are comfortable managing refurbishment for improved energy performance. Its size, proportions and central setting make it rare for the area and immediately liveable while offering scope to personalise.
