Characterful one-bedroom pied-à-terre close to Westminster amenities and transport.
Bright south-facing reception with large sash windows
Set within the historic Westminster Mansions (c.1880), this one-bedroom apartment offers compact central-London living with period character and modern finishes. The bright, south-facing reception has large sash-style windows and wood floors; the fitted kitchen and contemporary bathroom make the flat move-in ready for a single occupant or couple.
The property is offered chain free and comes with a very long lease (c.997 years) and share of freehold — strong tenure features for long-term ownership or a buy-to-let. At about 452 sq ft the layout is efficient and could suit a pied-à-terre, rental investment, or first-time buyer seeking central Westminster convenience.
Buyers should note material costs: an above-average annual service charge (£5,500) and on-street permit parking only. The building appears to have solid-brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and electric room heaters, so running and maintenance costs may be higher than modern systems. The local area records higher crime levels and pockets of deprivation despite excellent transport links and central amenities.
Overall this is a well-presented, characterful central flat with strong tenure and rental appeal, balanced by higher service charges, limited internal space and inner-city location issues. It will suit buyers prioritising location and convenience over garden space or low running costs.
