Characterful Maida Vale one-bed with communal garden and long lease.
Spacious 1-bed, 638 sq ft with high Edwardian ceilings
Set within a handsome Victorian mansion block on quiet Lauderdale Road, this well-presented one-bedroom lower ground floor apartment offers generous, characterful living in the heart of Maida Vale. The apartment benefits from high Edwardian ceilings, a large bay-windowed reception room that receives good natural light, and a modern fitted kitchen — all within a building that includes communal gardens and a resident caretaker. Share of freehold and an extremely long lease (963 years) provide ownership stability that suits buyers planning to stay or let.
Practical positives include a spacious 638 sq ft layout, mains gas heating via boiler and radiators, low local crime, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all useful for remote working. The building’s location places cafes, boutique shops, Paddington Recreation Ground (0.2 miles) and Maida Vale tube (Bakerloo line, 0.3 miles) within easy walking distance, making daily life and commutes straightforward.
Buyers should note the property is lower ground floor level: while the reception room has a bay window and good light, lower-level flats can have less daylight in some rooms and different ventilation compared with upper floors. The building’s solid brick construction likely lacks cavity insulation, so energy efficiency may be lower than modern builds. The current average service charge is £1,999 per year; council tax is moderate. These are material running costs to factor into budgeting.
This apartment is a strong option for a first-time buyer or a single professional seeking a roomy period property with modern kitchen fittings, communal garden access and very long lease security. It also has straightforward rental appeal given the location and nearby transport, though buyers sensitive to energy efficiency or who prefer above-ground flats should view to assess light and ventilation for themselves.
