1 bed Flat For Sale £875,000
This beautiful one-bedroom apartment lies on the first floor of a Grade II listed double-fronted, stucco period villa on Warwick Avenue. It strikes the perfect balance between old and new, balancing the period details of the building with sensitive contemporary additions. There is a dramatic sense of scale throughout the apartment, which has wonderfully high ceilings and a main living area framed by a trio of full-height bay windows. It has access to a large shared garden and is located in the heart of the Little Venice area of Maida Vale, just moments from Regent’s Canal.
The Tour
The handsome building occupies a corner plot on Warwick Avenue and is accessed through double doors, which are crowned by a fanlight that allows light into the raised ground floor hallway. A raddled oak handrail and black iron balustrade adorn the shared staircase, which leads up to the apartment on the first floor. Its raised location makes it the perfect spot from which to relax and enjoy the theatre of urban life unfolding below.
Upon entrance, a sense of refined elegance is immediately apparent. The apartment comes together in a marriage of material, scale and light, pairing its historic character with sensitive modern interventions; rooms are decoratively panelled, cornicing is deep and ornate, skirtings are high, architraves are wide. Herringbone oak parquet runs underfoot, uniting the spaces, and grounding the decorative detailing of the home.
The generous main living area contains a kitchen, dining room and living room, with the whole space illuminated by light that floods in through a soaring, circular floor-to-ceiling bay window. The detailed panelling provides an elegant frame to the room. The kitchen has marble worktops and simple white units; while a jib door conceals a cavernous storage space, home to a laundry area, wine store and abundant shelving.
The light, bright bedroom is finished with the same impressive panelling as the living space. There is a vast sash window, with a low sill and pretty window boxes, that overlooks the lovely communal gardens below. A spacious bathroom sits centrally, its dropped ceiling height cleverly allowing for storage overhead. The room is finished with a neutral colour palette on the walls and tiles, while the mirror-fronted cupboards reflect light around the space.
The Area
Maida Vale and Little Venice are thriving neighbourhoods, awash with cafes, bars and restaurants. Grand Georgian architecture lines the streets; Warwick Avenue is an elegant boulevard right in the heart of the area. The apartment is moments from Formosa Street, a pretty thoroughfare that offers boutiques, cafes and bars. It is home to the excellent restaurant Paulette.
Regent’s Canal is a just short stroll away, a gateway to the rest of London and a lovely spot for a coffee at the Waterside Café, lunch on one of the many barge restaurants, such as Darcie & May Green, an alfresco drink at Pergola Paddington or dinner at The Summer House. The oasis like Clifton Nursery and Cafe are centrally located while less than a mile away are Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park and Regent’s Park. Lord’s Cricket Ground is also within easy reach. Notting Hill lies just to the south-west and Marylebone to the south-east.
The apartment is moments away from Warwick Avenue Underground station (Bakerloo Line) and a 15 minute walk to Paddington Station Underground (Circle and Hammersmith & City Lines). Heathrow Airport can be reached within 15 minutes on the Heathrow Express, which runs regularly from Paddington.
