Grade II-listed Little Venice flat with high ceilings, shared garden and urgent lease attention.
Large first-floor one-bedroom with high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling bay windows
Set within a Grade II-listed stucco villa in Little Venice, this one-bedroom first-floor apartment combines generous period proportions with sensitive contemporary updates. High ceilings, a dramatic floor-to-ceiling bay and herringbone parquet create a strong sense of space and light, while marble worktops and clever built-in storage add modern convenience.
Practical benefits include access to a large shared garden, easy walking distance to Warwick Avenue station and Paddington, and a peaceful outlook across well-kept communal green space. The area is affluent and well served with cafés, restaurants and parks, making it appealing for those wanting canal-side living with excellent transport links.
Important considerations are factual: the flat is leasehold with only 83 years remaining — lease extension will be necessary and could be costly. The property’s listed status protects its character but restricts external and certain internal changes, which may complicate alterations. Service charge is circa £2,400pa and the building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, which could affect energy efficiency and future maintenance costs.
This apartment will suit a buyer who values period character, generous internal volume and a prime Little Venice location, and who is comfortable addressing lease and listed-building constraints. It offers immediate liveability with scope for interior updating where permitted.
