1 bed flat for sale

Charing Cross Road, London WC2H

Set on the third floor of Shaldon Mansions, where Charing Cross Road meets Denmark Street, this one-bedroom apartment spans approximately 700 sq ft, with high ceilings, original Victorian plasterwork and Mandarin Stone limestone flooring. Zoned underfloor heating warms the stone, and timber-framed double glazing is complemented by secondary glazing.

The limestone gives the rooms a sense of continuity, while original fireplaces provide a focal point in the sitting room, bedroom and kitchen-diner. Original coving traces the high ceilings. A full refurbishment included a new kitchen and bathroom, rewiring and a new boiler.

The kitchen-diner is where the period detailing and modern joinery sit most naturally together. The fireplace gives the dining area the feel of a reception room, while the kitchen is fitted with AEG appliances, a ceramic hob with concealed extraction, a Fisher & Paykel drawer dishwasher, a Quooker hot-water tap and a wine fridge. The fridge-freezer and washer-dryer are integrated.

Built in 1889, the building was originally known as Halberstadt Mansions and took its present name during the First World War. It sits within the Denmark Street Conservation Area, on the street long known as Tin Pan Alley for its place in London’s music history. Soho’s restaurants, the West End’s theatres and Covent Garden’s shops are all within easy reach, with a direct Elizabeth line connection to Heathrow from Tottenham Court Road
