This bright third-floor studio in Westminster offers a compact, move-in-ready base in one of central London’s most convenient pockets. The apartment has good natural light, wooden-style floors, a separate fitted kitchen and a modern bathroom — practical features for a first home or pied-à-terre. A lift serves the floor, making access easier than typical stair-only flats.
The location is the property’s strongest asset: St James’s Park, Westminster and Victoria stations are all within walking distance, with excellent bus links and fast broadband. Local shops, cafés and amenities on Victoria Street are moments away, making daily life straightforward for a single occupant.
There are notable practical considerations to factor in. The lease has 85 years remaining and will need renewing in the near future; this is a material issue for mortgageability and future costs. The service charge is around £4,200pa (above average for a studio) and heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more expensive than central gas systems.
The apartment will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance central base or an investor targeting strong rental demand. It is compact (c.500 sq ft), has no private outdoor space, and sits in a higher-crime inner-city area — these facts make it best for buyers prioritising location and convenience over space and gardens.
