A rare freehold Victorian mid-terrace arranged as two self-contained flats, offering flexible living or buy-to-let potential in Maida Vale. The larger lower maisonette includes direct garden access from a dining room and a sizeable eat-in kitchen, while the first-floor flat provides independent accommodation with its own front door — a useful income stream or multi-generational layout. High ceilings and original bay/sash windows give period character and good natural light to front rooms.
The property requires renovation throughout: finishes are dated and the building appears to have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for fabric and energy upgrades. Both flats are sold on separate titles, which simplifies lettings or owner-occupation but means coordinating any structural or external works across owners. Council Tax Band E and above-average council tax should be noted for running costs.
Location is a clear strength: Shirland Road sits between Notting Hill and Maida Vale with Bakerloo line stations (Maida Vale, Warwick Avenue) within walking distance and numerous local amenities on Elgin Avenue. The long private rear garden is atypical for the area and will appeal to families or purchasers seeking outside space. Be aware the area records above-average crime and sits in a deprived ward profile — this can affect lettings and resale timing.
This building will suit an investor looking for dual-income potential or a family seeking a garden with scope to reconfigure and modernise. Valuation should reflect renovation costs, potential energy-improvement works, and neighbourhood considerations; survey recommended to confirm structural condition, services and insulation needs.
