A bright one-bedroom apartment set on the third floor of a Victorian conversion, offered chain free with a long lease and share of freehold. The reception room flows into a semi-open plan kitchen with integrated appliances and good natural light, creating a comfortable urban living space ideal for single buyers or couples. The apartment is an attractive entry into W9 with quick access to Maida Vale amenities, Paddington Recreation Ground and Bakerloo Line connections.
Practical strengths include a 164-year lease (from 2013), double glazing already installed and mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators. Service charge contribution is sizeable and covers a reserve fund; council tax is described as affordable. The property’s size (circa 493 sq ft) and layout suit first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-management central London flat.
Material drawbacks are clear: the wider area records higher crime rates and local deprivation levels, and the building’s original timber-frame walls are assumed to have no insulation, which could affect heating costs and retrofit needs. Double glazing predates 2002, so further upgrades may be desirable. The annual service charge (£3,703.80) is above average for a one-bedroom and should be factored into running costs.
Overall, this is a practical, chain-free entry into Maida Vale/W9 with solid lease terms and convenient transport and amenities. Buyers wanting a move-in-ready central flat will appreciate the modern kitchen and bright reception; those sensitive to running costs or looking for a turnkey low-crime area should weigh the service charge and local crime data when deciding to view.
