Set within the handsome Wymering Mansions, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers period charm and scope to add contemporary value. The large reception room with high Edwardian ceilings opens onto a westerly-facing balcony, flooding the space with afternoon light and framing views of the mansion block’s architecture. At 852 sq ft the layout feels generous for central London and includes use of communal gardens.
The flat needs updating, so it will suit a buyer happy to renovate and personalise — ideal for a first-time purchaser aiming to add value or an investor targeting rental demand in Maida Vale. Practical strengths include a long lease (163 years), mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and proximity to Maida Vale tube (Bakerloo Line, approx. 0.4 miles) and local shops and cafes.
Be candid about costs: the property requires refurbishment and some modern insulation work may be needed given solid brick construction. Council tax is above average. With thoughtful updating this apartment could become a comfortable family home or a strong rental asset in a very affluent, inner-city locale.
