This bright one-bedroom flat occupies 435 sq ft in a handsome 1930s mansion block on a tree-lined street, a short five-minute walk from Maida Vale (Bakerloo). The open-plan living area and fitted kitchen suit a first-time buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance city home with period character and pleasant park-facing views.
Practical fittings include a bay-fronted bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a modern bathroom, and hardwood floors in the reception. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal make the layout work well for remote or hybrid working. Council tax is described as affordable and the property has no flood risk.
Important points to note: the flat is leasehold and carries an annual service charge of £1,480. The building’s solid brick walls were constructed in the 1930–1949 period and are assumed to have no internal insulation, so buyers should budget for potential heating/insulation upgrades. The overall living area is small, suitable for singles or couples rather than families.
This is a practical central-London purchase for someone prioritising location, character and transport links over generous room sizes. Confirm tenure details, service charge breakdown and any planned works before proceeding.
