Set on the top floor of a red-brick Maida Vale mansion, this two double-bedroom flat combines period character with practical comforts. High ceilings and wooden floors run throughout, while two balconies provide quiet outdoor space overlooking tree-lined Grantully Road and Paddington Recreation Ground. The main bedroom includes an en suite and a walk-in closet, and the reception room opens onto a balcony — good for morning light and fresh air.
Ownership is straightforward with a long lease (956 years) and a share of freehold. Annual outgoings are clear: a modest ground rent of £5 and a service charge around £1,600 per year. Heating is mains-gas boiler with radiators; glazing is secondary. The building dates from the early 20th century and retains many original features.
Practical points to note: walls are solid brick and likely lack modern cavity insulation, and the glazing is secondary rather than full double glazing — opportunities for energy-efficiency upgrades. Council tax sits at a higher band. Overall, this flat suits buyers who value location, space, and period detail with light refurbishment potential rather than a fully renovated turnkey home.
Located under a third of a mile from Maida Vale station and close to Elgin Avenue shops and cafés, the apartment is well placed for transport, schools, and green space. It will appeal to first-time buyers seeking character in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood or investors wanting a desirable Maida Vale address.
