Set over two floors at the top of a well-maintained period building, this two-bedroom penthouse offers expansive, uninterrupted views across Primrose Hill to the City. The fourth-floor open-plan living room is bright and airy, with full-width sliding doors leading to a large roof terrace — an ideal spot for entertaining or quiet city-facing relaxation. Both bedrooms on the lower level are generously proportioned; one has a private balcony and fitted wardrobes.
Practical strengths include a porter, share of freehold tenure and an exceptionally long lease (circa 960 years). The apartment benefits from high ceilings, wood flooring and double glazing, while integrated kitchen appliances and contemporary stair detailing give a modern finish inside a 1930s building. Excellent mobile reception and easy walking access to Primrose Hill, Regent’s Park and St John’s Wood High Street add to everyday convenience.
Buyers should note clear cost and service considerations: the service charge is high (around £10,000) and council tax is described as expensive. Heating runs on a community scheme and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, which may affect running costs and any refurbishment plans. There is a single shower room plus a guest cloakroom — useful but limited for two bedrooms.
This penthouse will suit a buyer seeking central, park-facing living with strong period character and modern interior elements. It offers immediate move-in condition with potential to personalise, but buyers who prioritise low running costs or need more bathrooms should weigh the service/utility implications carefully.
