Bright two-bedroom apartment set within a Victorian building on Cambridge Gardens, offering roomy accommodation across generous 919 sq ft. The open-plan reception kitchen and contemporary decor give a clean, modern feel while original period features from the exterior add character. This layout suits first-time buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with scope to personalise.
Practical aspects include secondary glazing, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, and good built-in storage. Transport links are strong with Kilburn nearby and frequent local buses; mobile signal and broadband speeds are both excellent. The flat sits close to shops, green spaces and a wide range of local amenities including schools and healthcare.
Buyers should note material facts: the lease has 89 years remaining, the annual service charge averages £2,700 and ground rent is £10. The building’s solid brick construction likely has no cavity wall insulation, and secondary glazing has been installed rather than full double glazing. The surrounding area records very high crime levels and is classified as deprived; those factors are important when assessing long-term value and insurance costs.
Overall this property offers a large, bright two-bedroom home in a well-connected part of Maida Vale, with clear potential for buyers who prioritise space and convenience. It will particularly suit first-time purchasers prepared to manage leasehold costs and local area considerations while enjoying a comfortable, largely ready-to-live-in flat.
