A bright, well-presented first-floor Victorian conversion in Maida Vale offering two bedrooms and an open-plan kitchen/reception with a bay window. The flat’s sash/bay windows and varnished wooden floors give it a contemporary, low-maintenance feel while retaining period character. At about 541 sq ft (50.3 sq m), it suits singles, couples or first-time buyers seeking a compact central-London home with good natural light.
Practical details are straightforward: leasehold with c.118 years remaining, annual service charge about £2,364 and ground rent £200. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, making the flat well suited for home-working or renting to professionals.
Location is a strong selling point — tree-lined Portnall Road sits between Salusbury Road and Maida Vale/Queens Park, with easy access to several underground stations and local cafés, shops and parks. Council Tax Band C and no flood risk add to the practical appeal.
Important negatives you should note: the flat is small and arranged on a narrow plan, so internal storage and space are limited. The wider area records above-average crime, and the building appears to have solid brick walls without modern cavity insulation (typical of its age), which could affect heating costs. Buyers should verify all service charge and lease details, and carry out a survey if concerned about insulation or structural matters.
