Large two‑bed West End flat with balcony and long lease in Covent Garden.
Large 1,055 sq ft two‑bed apartment with generous living spaces
Set within the red‑brick Queen Alexandra Mansions in the heart of the West End, this generous two‑bedroom apartment offers 1,055 sq ft of well‑proportioned living space and a private balcony. The large open-plan kitchen/reception is bright, features herringbone parquet and modern fitted kitchen units — a comfortable city home for someone who wants space and period character close to theatres, museums and transport.
Practical details work in the property’s favour: a long lease (approx. 172 years remaining), lift access to the fourth floor and two bathrooms suit sharers, a family or buyers who want a home office. The terrace provides a small outside spot in a central urban setting — useful in a dense city location where private outdoor space is rare.
Buyers should note material facts plainly. The building dates from the early 20th century and walls are likely uninsulated solid brick; double glazing was fitted before 2002. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators. The local area is an inner‑city, multicultural student neighbourhood with very high recorded crime levels — an important consideration for residents and insurers.
Overall, this apartment will suit buyers seeking a spacious, characterful central London base with good transport and cultural amenities nearby. It offers clear potential for further cosmetic improvement or updating of thermal performance, while the long lease and central location underpin its appeal.
