Light-filled compact apartment ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Bright first-floor studio with high ceilings and Juliette balcony
A bright first-floor studio in a handsome period terrace, this split-level apartment makes the most of its space with high ceilings and a Juliette balcony that floods the main room with light. The separate, fully fitted kitchen and bathroom sit on a lower level, creating a more functional layout than a typical open-plan studio.
Practical strengths include a very long lease (c.960 years) and a share of freehold, low council tax, and excellent mobile signal. The location is a major selling point — Formosa Street shops and cafés, Regent’s Canal and Warwick Avenue (Bakerloo) are all within easy walking distance, placing city living and amenities close to hand.
Known drawbacks are the apartment’s overall small size (c.339 sq ft) and the split-level arrangement, which may not suit mobility-restricted buyers. The building is of solid-brick Victorian construction and is likely to lack wall insulation, which could affect heating costs and future retrofit work. Local crime is recorded as high, which should be considered alongside the area’s otherwise strong appeal.
This studio suits a first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor looking for an affordable pied-à-terre in a sought-after pocket of Maida Vale. It offers immediate move-in potential with clear scope for minor cosmetic updates and energy-efficiency improvements to add value over time.
