Light-filled one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of Oslo Court, offering direct city views from a private balcony. The semi-open plan kitchen/reception and polished wood floors create a modern, comfortable living space suited to professional singles or couples. A porter and central St John’s Wood location place cafés, shops and transport on your doorstep, with Regent’s Park, Abbey Road and the Jubilee line nearby.
Practical details are straightforward: the flat extends to about 464 sq ft, is leasehold with 110 years remaining, and benefits from a community heating scheme. The building dates from the mid-20th century and feels established; the apartment’s bright rooms and balcony add everyday appeal and rental potential in this affluent area.
Buyers should note several material points. The service charge is currently £5,000 pa (above average) and ground rent £100. We have been informed of fire-safety matters and the service charge/ground rent review dates have not been confirmed — you and your advisers should verify these. The area records above-average crime levels and the building’s solid-brick construction may lack modern wall insulation.
Overall this is a convenient, modern-feeling one-bedroom in a desirable pocket of NW8. It suits first-time buyers seeking a well-located, low-maintenance home or investors looking for a lettable central London flat, provided the service-charge and fire-safety details meet their requirements.
