Set on the third and fourth floors of a Grade II listed stucco terrace, this bright one-bedroom apartment offers generous proportions and high ceilings across 635 sq ft. Large windows deliver city views and lots of natural light, while residents benefit from use of the private communal garden. The layout includes a reception room, separate kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom — a comfortable city base for a single occupant or couple.
The property is being sold with a share of freehold, which can be attractive for long-term control of the block. Its central location close to multiple underground stations places shops, restaurants and amenities within easy walking distance, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. The apartment’s period features and size also make it a viable buy-to-let or future value-add opportunity.
Buyers should note material constraints: the building’s listed status will restrict external and some internal alterations, so major remodelling may be limited. The brochure and images indicate dated decor and fixtures, so updating will be needed to modernise finishes. Service charges are significant (around £2,342 pa) and the wider area records very high crime levels, which may influence insurance and rental desirability.
Overall, this is a characterful, well-located top-floor flat with garden access and clear potential for improvement, best suited to buyers comfortable with listed-building constraints and central-London living.
