An impressive lateral three-bedroom apartment on the top (fifth) floor of a grand Victorian mansion block in a quiet conservation area near Westminster Cathedral. The flat offers generous, well-proportioned rooms, retained period features, high ceilings and a private balcony that brings outdoor space to city living. With 1,049 sq ft of internal space it suits a family or professionals seeking substantial living and entertaining areas in central London.
Practical benefits include lift access, porter service, secondary glazing and a long remaining lease (circa 197 years) on a share-of-freehold title. The location is exceptional for culture and transport — Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, Victoria Station and West End theatres are all within easy reach. The property is offered chain free, which can simplify and speed up a purchase.
Buyers should note material running costs and some fabric limitations: an above-average service charge (£6,285 pa) and expensive council tax. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, and glazing is secondary rather than double, so heating costs may be higher than modern equivalents. The area records higher crime levels than average for London; purchasers should balance central convenience against this local factor.
This apartment is well suited to purchasers prioritising space, period character and central location over a turnkey modern specification. There is clear scope to update services and décor to personal taste, which would enhance comfort and potential long-term value given the address and size.
