A luxurious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse apartment situated on the 4th and 5th floors of a beautifully-presented residential building consisting of 68 apartments. Originally part of the historic Rochester Row Police Station and Magistrate's Court building, now Grade II listed, it was entirely re-configured and re-built only 15 years ago. Overlooking the 13 acres of Westminster School's private playing fields where tennis courts are available to residents of the Square for a modest annual fee.
One of this property's most attractive features is its sunny 21ft x 12ft terrace, spacious enough to accommodate up to a dozen guests for early evening drinks and al fresco dining.
The 68 Vincent Square building is run by a very efficient management team providing a 24hr/7day concierge service. Other features are an underground parking space and a secure storage cage.
Vincent Square's greenery and tranquillity sets it apart from other apartment buildings in Westminster. The lack of through traffic - due to the cleverly-arranged one-way system – delivers a remarkable level of peace and quiet for Central London, broken only occasionally by the familiar sound of leather on willow!
The property is 6 minutes' walk from Victoria Station with its wide choice of underground, tube and mainline train services, as well as London buses to many other parts of the Capital.
Step Inside
On being greeted by the head concierge in the spacious reception lounge, the first impressions are of high quality and good order. Expectations that standards throughout the building will be the same are not mis-placed.
The 4th floor entrance hall to this apartment leads to 3 double bedrooms which are served by 2 bathrooms, one ensuite. Stairs to the upper floor take you to the spacious triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room and the huge double-aspect living room.
A striking feature of this 20ft by 18ft room are the two multi-paned, circular windows facing both north and south. These provide extraordinary levels of natural light as well as panoramic views to the south of Vincent Square with its perimeter of mature London Plane trees.
A staircase and external door leads to the afore-mentioned terrace. This is secluded yet enjoys sunlight from early morning till late afternoon.
While our video tour and still photography convey a positive first impression, a viewing in person is the only way to fully-appreciate the quality, style, space and seclusion offered by this exclusive duplex penthouse apartment.Seller's InsightThe apartment has been a haven of calm and tranquillity in the heart of bustling Westminster. A great place to host visitors and parties and a great place to rest after a busy day in London. The flat is amazingly quiet and the location between Victoria and Westminster is perfect for main transport routes in and out of London. The secure car park, 24 hour concierge and great terrace space make this flat extra special given its location.Step Outside
