Summary - SOUTHWOLD MANSIONS FLAT 52 WIDLEY ROAD LONDON W9 2LF
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Characterful two-bedroom with long lease and communal gardens in Maida Vale.
19 ft open-plan kitchen/reception with communal garden access
Set within the red-brick elegance of Southwold Mansions, this two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, characterful home ideal for a first-time buyer. The 19 ft open-plan kitchen/reception is the heart of the flat, with direct access to extensive communal gardens that extend the living space in warmer months.
The property is ready for immediate occupation and benefits from a very long lease (977 years) and a share of freehold, reducing long-term tenure risk. At approximately 674 sq ft the layout is well proportioned: a principal bedroom, a second bedroom and a fully fitted bathroom serve everyday family life or flatshare living.
Be factual about trade-offs: the building dates from the early 20th century, with solid brick walls and assumed lack of cavity insulation, so heating bills may be higher than modern builds. Ceiling heights are low-to-average and there is a single bathroom, which may be limiting for some buyers. Crime levels are average for the area.
Location is a genuine strength — close to Maida Vale tube, Paddington Recreation Ground and local boutiques, cafes and amenities. For buyers seeking a central, characterful home with long-term tenure security and immediate availability, this apartment is a strong, practical choice with modest upgrading potential.
