Bright, newly refurbished two-bedroom with 24-hour porter and long lease.
Fifth-floor apartment with passenger lift and private balcony
Set on the fifth floor of a well-regarded portered block on the favoured east side of St John’s Wood, this recently refurbished two-bedroom apartment offers bright, contemporary living across 854 sq ft. The open-plan reception and fitted kitchen leads onto a private balcony, delivering a comfortable urban layout for everyday life or entertaining. High-quality finishes include Miele appliances and Neolith porcelain granite worktops.
The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a luxury en-suite; the second double bedroom also offers fitted storage and there is a separate well-appointed shower room plus a guest WC with shower. Practical features include a passenger lift, 24-hour porterage with CCTV and long leasehold security (circa 150 years remaining).
Buyers should note the supply of secure off-street parking is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The annual service charge is high (circa £10,090) and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to include when calculating running costs. Local crime is reported as high; the building’s concierge and CCTV provide an added layer of security but do not eliminate wider area considerations.
Located within easy reach of St John’s Wood and Swiss Cottage stations, the apartment sits in a very affluent, inner-city neighbourhood with strong local schools and amenities. This property will suit purchasers seeking a move-in-ready, high-spec pied-à-terre or a central investment with immediate rental appeal, subject to the noted running costs.
