This bright one-bedroom flat occupies a corner position in the heart of the West End, moments from Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Soho’s shops and theatres. At about 500 sq ft, the apartment offers a large bedroom, separate reception and a compact kitchen — a practical city layout suited to a single occupant, couple or buy-to-let investor. The long lease (176 years) and central transport links are strong ownership advantages.
Internals are well presented with engineered timber floors, neutral decor and good natural light from twin street-facing windows. There is scope to add value through modest cosmetic upgrades to the kitchen and bathroom; the apartment’s footprint and separate rooms limit major reconfiguration but support straightforward refurbishment for rental or personal use.
Buyers should note clear constraints: the property is leasehold, built 1950–66 with secondary glazing and cavity walls assumed to have no insulation. The neighbourhood records very high crime levels and local area indicators show deprivation — factors that may affect insurance, security needs and resale for some purchasers. There are no private outdoor spaces and scaffolding has been observed externally, restricting views.
Overall this flat will most appeal to first-time buyers seeking a central home and to investors targeting short-distance-to-transport rental demand. The combination of central location, long lease and compact, well-proportioned rooms represents pragmatic central-London living, provided buyers accept the urban environment and consider targeted improvements for long-term value.
