Set on the second floor of a portered development in central Westminster, this larger-than-average one-bedroom apartment offers bright, practical city living. The apartment’s generous reception room, large windows and balcony maximise light and create an open, low-maintenance living space suited to everyday life or entertaining. A modern fitted kitchen and a comfortable double bedroom complete the internal accommodation.
Practical strengths include secure off-street parking—rare in this location—daytime porter, lift access and a very long lease with shared freehold. These features make the flat suitable as a first home, a pied-à-terre or a rental investment where convenience and centrality are priorities.
Buyers should note some important negatives: the local area records high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect desirability and insurance costs. Service charges are above average at £4,255 per year and council tax is described as expensive. Heating is electric via a boiler and radiators; buyers should confirm running costs.
Overall, this apartment offers a straightforward, well-located base in one of London’s most connected neighbourhoods. Its combination of size, parking and porterage delivers practical everyday benefits, but the ongoing costs and local crime statistics are material factors to consider before viewing.
