Large 916 sqft two-bedroom apartment with en suite bathroom
Set on the ground floor of a portered purpose-built block on Grove End Road, this roomy two-bedroom apartment offers 916 sq ft of well-proportioned accommodation. The layout includes a reception and dining area that opens to a rear patio, a fitted kitchen, principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, second bedroom and separate shower room. Both front and rear patios provide private outdoor space rare for this location.
The flat sits 550m from St John’s Wood Underground station and is surrounded by highly regarded schools and local amenities, making it convenient for family life and commuting. The building benefits from a porter and a contemporary exterior, while internal images show bright, modern living spaces with good natural light.
Practical points to note: the property is leasehold (about 168–170 years remaining from 2006), and it is on a community heating and mains gas scheme. The current service charge is high (£8,043 pa), and the building was constructed mid-20th century with solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation — buyers should budget for potential future energy-improvement works.
This home will suit buyers seeking a large, low-maintenance flat in a very affluent part of NW8 who value outdoor space and on-site staff. It is also of interest to investors or downsizers looking for a substantial two-bedroom in a prime central London pocket, provided they accept the ongoing service charge and communal heating arrangement.
