Set on the second floor of a handsome red-brick mansion block, this spacious flat benefits from an exceptionally long lease and a share in the freehold. Generous ceiling heights and large sash windows create bright, airy rooms and a strong sense of period character. Private access and views over well-kept communal gardens add rare outdoor amenity for city living.
The apartment’s layout and size (approximately 1,017 sq ft) suit family life or pied-à-terre use: a large reception leads to a front balcony, and the fitted kitchen overlooks the gardens. The principal bedroom has an en suite, with a further bathroom serving the other bedrooms. Local transport (Maida Vale Bakerloo) and excellent amenities, plus highly rated nearby schools, make this an attractive everyday location.
Buyers should note a few practical points: the listing contains inconsistent information about the exact bedroom count (two versus three in different texts), which should be clarified. There is a reported potential mould issue in the living room that will need inspection and possible remediation. Service charges are above average at £5,599 per year and council tax is described as expensive, so factor running costs into affordability calculations.
Overall this is a rare, characterful central-London apartment with exceptional tenure security and communal gardens — ideal for buyers seeking a spacious family home or a long-term investment in a very affluent area. Interested parties should verify room count, arrange a full inspection for damp, and review the service charge accounts and building maintenance record before committing.
