Spacious three-bed period apartment with balcony and long lease in Maida Vale.
Fourth-floor Edwardian mansion block with porter and passenger lift
A bright, well-proportioned three-bedroom apartment set on the fourth floor of an Edwardian portered mansion block in Maida Vale. The layout includes an impressive reception room, separate kitchen, principal bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, plus two further bedrooms each with ensuite. High ceilings, ample built-in storage and a private balcony add genuine day-to-day comfort.
The building benefits from a passenger lift, porterage and an exceptionally long lease (c.991 years, share of freehold), offering long-term security for buyers. Transport links are strong with Bakerloo and Jubilee line stations nearby, and the local area provides excellent schools, shops, cafes and Little Venice close at hand.
Buyers should note the service charge is substantial (approx. £8,202pa) with an additional reserve fund contribution of about £2,140pa. Crime levels are reported above average for the area, and one data field indicates the building’s external walls may lack insulation (assumed). Finally, sources variously describe the apartment as currently undergoing refurbishment and as newly renovated; purchasers should confirm the exact completion and specification before exchange.
This apartment will suit a family or professionals seeking well-sized, period proportions combined with contemporary fixtures and secure tenure. It represents a convenient, comfortable London home in a very affluent neighbourhood, with some ongoing cost and specification considerations to factor into any purchase.
