Light-filled living and solid fundamentals make this third-floor apartment an appealing first-step purchase in Maida Vale. The reception room offers space for dining and relaxing, and a private balcony extends the living area outdoors. A modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances reduces immediate spend and adds practical convenience.
Two generous bedrooms provide comfortable sleeping space, while local good schools and fast Bakerloo line connections support everyday family and commuter needs. The flat sits within a purpose-built block close to shops and Paddington Recreation Ground, giving a genuine neighbourhood feel in an inner-city location.
Buyers should note the lease is 86 years remaining and the property is sold leasehold; factor in potential lease-extension cost over time. Some rooms show mid-century finishes and will benefit from cosmetic updating to fully unlock the flat’s potential. There is one bathroom and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels, which may influence parking and security choices.
Practical running costs are reasonable: a below-average service charge of £900 per year and fast broadband and mobile signal. For a buyer prepared to refresh the living areas, this flat offers a convenient, well-located home with clear upside.
