Bright sixth-floor two-bed with porter and long lease, moments from Victoria.
Approximately 1,077 sq ft of well-proportioned living space
Situated on the sixth floor of a sought-after Ashley Gardens mansion block, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment offers generous living across approximately 1,077 sq ft. High ceilings, a bay-windowed reception with a feature fireplace and a contemporary kitchen create a mix of period character and modern convenience. Residents benefit from a passenger lift and a staffed porter service.
The flat comes with a substantial share of freehold and an unusually long underlying lease (984 years). Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge (noting a 2024/25 additional £420.98 payment for boiler/heating repairs) and a small ground rent. Heating is by mains-gas boiler and radiators; the property has an EPC rating of C.
Location is a clear strength — south of St James’s Park and a short walk to Victoria transport hub, cultural landmarks and everyday amenities. Broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the neighbourhood is affluent and cosmopolitan.
Notable points to consider: the building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no insulation, which may affect heating efficiency. Council tax is reported as expensive. The wider area records very high crime levels, which buyers should factor into their decision. Photos were taken over six months ago, so fit-out may have changed since.
