AN EXCEPTIONALLY SPACIOUS FOUR BEDROOM MANSION BLOCK APARTMENT IN A SOUGHT-AFTER BLOOMSBURY LOCATION. FULL MODERNISATION IS REQUIRED, OFFERING A RARELY AVAILABLE BLANK CANVAS TO CREATE A STUNNING RESIDENCE APPROACHING 1,500 SQ FT.
Gordon Mansions is a well-regarded Edwardian mansion block in a highly sought-after location, enjoying all that Bloomsbury has to offer. You are ideally situated in a peaceful setting on the corner of Torrington Place and Huntley Street, yet mere steps away from the vibrant Tottenham Court Road and onwards to the word-class shops and restaurants of the West End. Goodge Street station is just moments away and further transport links from Russell Square, Tottenham Court Road, Warren Street, Euston and Kings Cross St Pancras stations are also all within walking distance. Just a short stroll away are The British Museum, University College London and numerous leafy squares and parks. For travel further afield, the convenient Heathrow Express at Paddington Station is around 12-14 minutes away by taxi.
The area continues to captivate thanks to its ideal setting, with Bloomsbury recently being named one of the best places to live in the UK in the annual list, by The Sunday Times, and was the only location in London to make the top ten. Bloomsbury is also currently undergoing a £400m investment project to further enhance its appeal to residents and visitors alike.
The building was constructed in 1901 and retains its characterful appearance typical of the era. The location of Gordon Mansions has attracted several notable residents to make it their home, especially those from the literary and academic worlds that Bloomsbury is so appreciated for. These include the renowned playwright and author George Bernard Shaw and the celebrated actor Sir John Hurt.
The apartment is situated on the elevated ground floor of the building and offers exceptionally spacious accommodation throughout on grand proportions, including a 44ft long entrance hall and 24ft wide reception room. The high ceilings throughout add to the feeling of light and space and numerous character features are still evident including large sash windows, picture rails and several fireplace surrounds.
A full programme of modernisation is now required throughout, however the property has been priced competitively to take this into account when compared to others in the building and nearby. This offers a rare opportunity to create a bespoke residence to one's own specification, whilst having the potential to add significant future value. The vendors have commissioned a Level 3 RICS Survey Report and copies of this can be made available to seriously interested prospective purchasers upon request.
The recently extended lease has approx. 172 years remaining and benefits from having no ground rent payable. The apartment is offered for sale with vacant possession and no forward chain and awaits new owners to transform it to achieve its full potential.
