2 bed flat for sale

Bravington Road, Queen's Park, London W9

Bravington Road is a street in Maida Vale, laid out as part of the late-Victorian expansion that extended outward from the established terraces of the Bishop of London's estate. The result is a residential street that retains the proportions, the ceiling heights, and the sash windows that the Victorians did instinctively well, and which, in this recently decorated first-floor flat, are shown to their full advantage.

Natural wood floors run through the hallway and continue into the open-plan kitchen and living room. A triumphant bay of sash windows, running close to floor-to-ceiling height, floods the living area in light. The kitchen, on a second axis, draws in its own natural light through another large sash window, with white resin worktops and gloss slate cabinetry.

The bathroom is modern and well-finished with an overhead shower. The office offers daily utility with soft neutral carpet underfoot and a large sash window with bespoke wooden shutters. Descend the plushly carpeted staircase to the primary bedroom below: A beautiful, recessed space conceived in soothing neutrals, entirely removed from the energy of the upper floor.

Bravington Road occupies an enviable position between two of west London's most dynamic neighbourhoods. Queen's Park station is within easy walking distance, as is Westbourne Park, providing strong bus routes along Harrow Road. Westbourne Park Underground (Circle and Hammersmith & City lines) puts Paddington, the City and the West End all within straightforward reach, with the Elizabeth line connection at Paddington extending that reach further still.

Queen's Park itself is a colourful neighbourhood anchor with its café, tennis courts, putting green, weekend farmers' market, and independent eateries. The wider dining scene in the surrounding streets of Maida Vale has become one of West London's most compelling, such as The Hero on Shirland Road and the revived former Truscott Arms, which serves classical French cooking with British ingredients from behind a zinc-topped bar.
