Set on the ground floor of a red-brick Victorian mansion block, this five-bedroom apartment offers rare layout flexibility in Maida Vale. High ceilings, bay windows and original character remain; the accommodation sits within easy walking distance of Maida Vale Underground (0.2 miles) and Paddington Recreation Ground (0.1 miles), appealing to families who want green space and transport nearby.
The flat extends to around 966 sqft so rooms are compact for five bedrooms; the property requires full renovation throughout, giving a buyer scope to reconfigure rooms, open up the plan or create modern living spaces. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators already present; buyers should budget for updating kitchen, bathrooms and likely electrical and insulation works.
Practical details: the lease is very long (circa 952 years) and service charge is approximately £2,708 per year. Crime in the area is above average, so prospective purchasers should consider security improvements as part of any refurbishment. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and several outstanding and good schools are within easy reach.
This is best suited to a family or an investor prepared to renovate. It presents clear upside for someone willing to invest in refurbishment to unlock a comfortable, characterful London home in a desirable W9 location.
