Period three-bed flat with balcony and communal gardens, ideal for growing families..
Second-floor three-bedroom mansion block flat, 1,045 sq ft (97 m²)
Set within an attractive Victorian mansion block on Elgin Avenue, this second-floor apartment combines period character with generous living space. High ceilings and a large bay-window-filled double reception create bright, flexible entertaining space; a working gas fireplace adds charm and warmth. A private balcony and access to well-kept communal gardens extend the living space outdoors.
The apartment provides three bedrooms, a family bathroom and a separate guest cloakroom, making it practical for family life or shared living. The eat-in kitchen at the rear offers a pleasant aspect and scope for updating to suit contemporary tastes. There is a long lease (approx. 950 years) and low ground rent.
Buyers should note the property is leasehold with an annual service charge that is above average at about £7,422.16 (includes reserve fund). The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks modern cavity insulation, so heating costs could be higher than modern-build equivalents. Council tax is above average and there is only one full bathroom for three bedrooms.
This apartment will suit purchasers seeking period detail and space in a highly qualified, inner-city neighbourhood — particularly families wanting good local schools and convenient Bakerloo line connections. It presents immediate comfort with realistic potential for cosmetic updating to increase energy efficiency and resale value.
