Light-filled and generously proportioned, this three-bedroom apartment on the fourth floor of Clive Court offers comfortable family living in the heart of Maida Vale. The large reception room with a bay window, high Victorian ceilings and a private balcony creates a welcoming social hub, while hardwood floors and extensive fitted wardrobes add practical appeal.
The principal bedroom is a large double with an en suite; both additional bedrooms also include en suite facilities, making the layout well suited to family life or professional sharers. The building provides 24-hour porterage, CCTV, lift access and a long lease with share-of-freehold tenure, offering security and convenience in a highly desirable location close to parks, shops and strong transport links.
There are some clear running costs and maintenance items to factor in: the service charge is substantial (£10,092 pa) and council tax is high, reflecting the building’s communal services and central location. The kitchen, while functional and contemporary, shows dated tiling and an awkward window placement and would benefit from modernization to match the apartment’s other finishings.
Constructed in the early 20th century, Clive Court retains period character (solid brick walls and high ceilings) but insulation is assumed to be minimal. The building uses a community mains-gas heating scheme and the property benefits from triple glazing. Note the local crime level is above average for the area — security measures in the block mitigate some risk, but buyers should assess this against lifestyle needs.
