Summary - 43 - 48 FLAT 8 ST MICHAELS STREET LONDON W2 1QP
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Bright one-bedroom duplex near Paddington station — characterful central base with gated courtyard.
Gated Victorian mews maisonette with period character
Set over two floors in a gated Victorian mews, this one-bedroom maisonette offers a compact, characterful central London base. The bright open-plan reception and kitchen on the ground floor flow to a Juliet balcony and communal courtyard, bringing light and outdoor space to city living. At 548 sq ft the apartment is average-sized for central W2 and suits a single professional or couple seeking excellent transport links and fast digital connectivity.
The property benefits from share of freehold ownership and strong nearby education options, including Ark King Solomon Academy and Hampden Gurney Primary. Paddington station is a short walk away, providing multiple Underground lines, National Rail and Heathrow Express services — a major convenience for commuters. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Buyers should note important drawbacks: the local area records very high crime and is classified as deprived, which may affect day-to-day comfort and longer-term resale. The maisonette’s multi-storey layout may not suit those with mobility needs. The apartment appears well-presented but buyers should budget for routine maintenance and check communal management arrangements typical of gated developments.
Overall this maisonette is a practical, centrally located option for a purchaser prioritising transport, connectivity and period character. It could also suit an investor seeking a city-let in a gated setting, provided they factor local area issues into yield and marketing plans.
