This bright one-bedroom flat occupies an average-sized 512 sq ft layout within a modern purpose-built block constructed after 2007. A large reception room opens onto a balcony, creating a naturally light living space that suits a single buyer or couple seeking a starter home in Maida Vale. The bedroom is a good-sized double and the bathroom is contemporary, so the property is move-in ready for many buyers.
Practical benefits include a lift, off-street parking and a long lease of 101 years. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators, glazing is double glazed, and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working. The location is convenient: moments from the canal, close to Harrow Road shops and near Royal Oak transport links.
Be realistic about local context and property scale. The kitchen is compact, so buyers wanting larger culinary space should plan renovations. The surrounding area records high crime and is classed as very deprived, which may affect comfort and resale in the short term. Leasehold tenure applies; purchasers should review any service charges and ground rent before committing.
For first-time buyers this flat offers an affordable entry into W2 with parking and outdoor space — clear positives in central London. Investors should note the local social indicators and consider lettability versus potential yield. Overall, the apartment balances convenient urban living with a few material considerations to weigh before viewing.
