This ground-floor four-bedroom apartment in Castellain Mansions offers a rare family-sized layout in Maida Vale, moments from canals, cafés and excellent schools. High ceilings and bay windows bring generous natural light and period character to principal rooms, while wooden floors and original features add charm.
The property is chain free with a very long lease (c.950 years) and sold on a share of freehold, giving long-term security. At 921 sq ft the accommodation is compact for four bedrooms and will suit families needing flexible sleeping arrangements or buyers who can reconfigure rooms to better use space. Service charges are above average at £4,243 per year.
There is clear scope to modernise and improve energy performance: the building dates from 1900–1929, walls are solid brick (likely uninsulated) and the EPC is D. Practical considerations include potential refurbishment costs and possible upgrade to glazing and insulation to reduce running costs. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and there is no flood risk.
For families wanting an inner-city home near top-rated schools and village amenities, this is a characterful, secure option with genuine upside for those prepared to invest in updating and space optimisation.
