Summary - Octave House, London, EC3R EC3R 8DR
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Central pied-à-terre or buy-to-let close to Monument and major stations.
Generous living room with large window and solid oak parquet flooring
Located in the Square Mile on Botolph Alley, this 1-bedroom flat offers an attractively positioned pied-à-terre or buy-to-let in a neighbourhood dense with bars, restaurants and fast transport links. The apartment feels larger than its footprint thanks to a generous living room, separate kitchen and solid oak parquet throughout. A reproduced stained glass transom above the kitchen French door gives the flat character and a distinctive city feel.
Practical benefits include a very long lease (973 years), lift access and a large communal roof terrace with wide views across the City skyline. The property has electric room heaters and electric oven/hood, making services simple but meaning no gas supply and potentially higher running costs compared with gas-heated homes. Service charge is £3,360 per year and Council Tax sits at Band E.
This is a well-located, low-maintenance apartment ideal for investors seeking a central City rental or for someone wanting a secure London base. Note the building sits in a very high crime area statistically — buyers should consider security measures and insurance. Offered unfurnished, with negotiable contents if preferred, and immediate walking access to Monument and multiple mainline stations for quick City and national travel.
