We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Prime Collection are thrilled to introduce this beautiful five-storey townhouse in central London.
It is a perfect investment opportunity to either create a single dwelling or convert into flats subject to planning consent.
As it stands, there is a self-contained flat on the lower ground floor with its own private entrance and small garden.
Rich in period character, the property boasts soaring ceilings, elegant sash windows, and an array of original architectural features, all complemented by delightful views across the prestigious Mecklenburgh Square.
There is the potential to add a roof terrace with a staircase already in position to do so.
One of Bloomsbury’s most distinguished garden squares, Mecklenburgh Square was laid out in the early 19th century and is renowned for its beautifully landscaped private gardens, mature trees, and tranquil atmosphere.
Steeped in literary and cultural history, the square has long attracted notable residents, including members of the Bloomsbury Group, and remains one of Central London’s most sought-after residential enclaves.
Access to the square’s private gardens is reserved exclusively for residents, providing a rare green sanctuary amidst the capital’s vibrant cityscape.
Historically, the house itself was the private residence of the founder of the British Obstetric Association.
Occupying a prime position overlooking this historic garden square, the property enjoys an enviable setting just moments from the independent boutiques, cafés, and acclaimed restaurants of Lamb’s Conduit Street.
The cultural attractions, world-class shopping, and dining destinations of the West End are all within easy reach, while nearby institutions such as Great Ormond Street Hospital, University College London, and the legal quarter centred around the Royal Courts of Justice further enhance the appeal of this highly desirable location.
Excellent transport connections, including Russell Square, King’s Cross St Pancras, and Holborn Underground stations, provide effortless access across London and beyond, combining outstanding convenience with a prestigious Central London address.
The square also benefits from ample residents parking and the house is opposite an electric charging point.
