Set within a 1930s purpose-built block in Petty France, this compact one-bedroom apartment offers a central Westminster address with outstanding transport links. St James’s Park, Westminster and Victoria stations are all within easy walking distance, putting Whitehall, Parliament and local shops and restaurants moments away. Communal heating and hot water, daytime porterage and lifts add practical convenience for city living.
The flat has a reception room, bedroom (with borrowed light), separate kitchen and bathroom across approximately 415 sq ft. A long 999-year lease and share of freehold provide ownership security, and council tax is described as affordable. An EPC rating of C and very low flood risk are further practical positives.
Buyers should note this is a small home suited to single occupancy or a couple, and the bedroom has borrowed light rather than full windows. The property sits in an area with very high recorded crime — an important local factor to weigh — and the block uses secondary glazing and solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) which may limit thermal performance without upgrades. The service charge is above average at around £6,000 per year and there is a modest ground rent of £150.
This apartment will appeal to first-time buyers or investors seeking central Westminster convenience and long-lease security. It offers clear potential for cosmetic improvements and energy upgrades, but purchasers should factor running costs, service charges and local safety statistics into their decision.
