Set within a handsome Victorian mansion block on Maida Vale, this 1-bedroom fourth-floor apartment offers characterful living with practical commuter links. The reception room is generous and centred on an original fireplace; high ceilings and period proportions create an immediately appealing sense of space. A separate kitchen, double bedroom, bathroom and additional guest cloakroom make the layout functional for daily life or rental occupancy.
The building benefits from a passenger lift and a very long lease (approximately 965 years), easing long-term ownership concerns. Located a short walk from Maida Vale (Bakerloo Line) and the shops and cafés of St John’s Wood High Street and Clifton Road, the flat suits a professional or couple wanting central, well-connected living in an affluent neighbourhood.
Practical facts are clear: the property is leasehold with an annual service charge of about £4,134 and a reserve fund contribution of about £3,910. The building dates from 1900–1929 and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated) and an undefined glazing specification, so buyers should expect older-period construction standards and potential energy-efficiency improvement opportunities.
Overall this is a comfortable, characterful apartment that combines period charm with excellent location and transport links. It will particularly suit first-time buyers or investors seeking a centrally positioned one-bedroom in a low-crime, affluent area, while buyers seeking turnkey, energy-efficient homes should factor in likely retrofit or upgrade costs.
