Abell and Cleland

Development Overview

Abell and Cleland is a completed, luxury new build development situated in the heart of Westminster, London (SW1P), replacing former government buildings. Developed by Berkeley Homes, a company recently ranked the UK’s number one homebuilder for build quality by HomeViews, the site comprises two distinct residential buildings: Abell House and Cleland House. The entire development consists of 275 high-specification apartments, ranging from one to four bedrooms, alongside a collection of prestigious three to four-bedroom duplex penthouses. The development is currently fully sold out.

Property Details

The properties were built by Berkeley Group, a developer with an independently verified Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 80.2 and a reputation for successful urban regeneration and commitment to quality. The 1 to 4-bedroom apartments and penthouses feature a luxury specification, including a triple-height entrance lobby and comfort cooling systems. Interior finishes include exquisite parquet flooring, plush carpeting, floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise natural light and views, and bathrooms finished with marble and limestone. Residents benefit from extensive on-site amenities, including a 24-hour concierge service, a health spa, a swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness centre, a private screening room, and beautifully landscaped communal gardens. Secure underground parking spaces were available for purchase, with a general right to park at a cost of approximately £50,000.

Abell and Cleland is situated in the City of Westminster's parliamentary district, adjacent to the River Thames and the Tate Britain gallery. The location offers immediate access to essential services and iconic London landmarks. For groceries, residents have a Sainsbury's Local (0.2 miles), Tesco Express (0.5 miles), and Waitrose & Partners (0.7 miles) within a short walk.

Transport Links and Practical Information

The development is strategically positioned for excellent local and national travel. Westminster Underground Station (Jubilee, District, and Circle lines) is approximately a 0.5-mile walk, providing a direct Jubilee Line journey to Canary Wharf in approximately 10 minutes. London Victoria Station (Underground and National Rail Overground services) is also close by, offering services such as the fastest train journey to Manchester Piccadilly in approximately 2 hours and 41 minutes (typically with one change). Approximate historical sale pricing for apartments ranged up to at least £1,845,000 for a 2-bedroom unit, with ground rent for a 2-bedroom apartment at £750 per annum. As the development is now complete and all new build homes are sold, interested parties should contact local sales and letting agents for current resale and rental availability, with typical 2-bedroom rental prices historically starting from approximately £1,350 per week. Viewing of any current resales or rentals will be arranged via the appointed agency, as the developer's sales suite is closed.
