Set within an imposing 1930s mansion block on Russell Square, this split-level three-bedroom apartment offers generous proportions rarely found in central London. The principal reception and one ensuite bedroom sit on the ground floor, with two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the lower level, giving clear separation between living and sleeping areas.
The flat has been newly renovated with a fitted kitchen and updated ensuite bathrooms; good ceiling heights and ample built-in storage enhance the feeling of space. Residents benefit from a day porter, communal gym and sauna, and included electricity within the service charge, making day-to-day running straightforward.
Location is a major strength: immediate access to Russell Square gardens, the British Museum and multiple universities, with Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road and Holborn stations close by. The property is well suited to a professional family seeking roomy central accommodation or an investor targeting strong rental demand in Bloomsbury.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold property with a very long lease (approx. 970 years) and an above-average service charge (approx. £8,000 pa). Council Tax Band G is relatively expensive, and the building’s original solid-brick walls imply limited inherent insulation unless upgraded. Overall this is a rare, substantial central London apartment with strong location and building amenities, balanced by higher running costs.
