Guide Price: £800,000 to £900,000

This exceptional two-bedroom flat occupies the raised ground floor of a handsome Edwardian building on Mapesbury Road and has been finished to an impressively high standard. Period architecture meets confident, modern styling here — classic bones with a properly cool edge.

The sense of space is immediate. Ceiling heights of approximately 3.5 metres create genuine grandeur, while a wide and welcoming entrance hall sets the tone and offers excellent built-in storage. The beautifully maintained common parts retain original cornicing, panelling and detailing from the turn of the 20th century, underlining just how well-run this building is.

The main reception room is generous and versatile — perfect for unwinding, entertaining, or simply switching off. This flows seamlessly into a glazed conservatory, currently used as both a dining space and work-from-home setup. With wide, open views across the expansive communal garden, the room is bathed in sunlight and delivers a rare sense of calm — the kind that makes you briefly forget you’re in Zone 2 London. The conservatory opens directly onto the garden itself, which is vast by London standards and beautifully landscaped.

There are two genuine double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from extensive built-in wardrobes, offering storage on a scale that’s rarely found in period flats. Wooden flooring runs throughout, complemented by intelligent, layered lighting that allows the atmosphere to shift effortlessly from practical to cosy.

A short staircase leads down to the separate kitchen, cleverly designed to maximise space and functionality. Integrated appliances include a stacked fridge-freezer, oven and dishwasher, all finished with clean, modern lines. The sink looks out over the communal garden, adding a surprisingly peaceful touch to everyday cooking. The adjacent bathroom is equally well executed, with a full-sized bath, large-format tiling and contemporary fittings.

The real wildcard here is the separate laundry and utility room — a luxury most flats can only dream of. Designed with smart storage, a washing machine and dryer installed at waist height for ergonomic living, it also doubles as an excellent wine cellar.

Additional benefits include off-street parking on a first-come, first-served basis and affiliation with the nearby Art Deco mansion block Tarranbrae on Willesden Lane, where residents enjoy caretaker services. The flat is sold with a share of freehold, a proactive WhatsApp group between freeholders, regular AGMs, and a reputation for being exceptionally well managed.

The service charge includes heating and hot water; the building maintains a healthy sinking fund for future works — exactly what you want in a period property.

Set on one of Queen’s Park’s most desirable tree-lined streets, the location is outstanding. Queen’s Park is moments away, offering tennis courts, playgrounds and a popular weekend farmers’ market. Salusbury Road and Chamberlayne Road provide an excellent mix of independent cafés, restaurants and boutiques. Local favourites include The Salusbury Pub & Dining Room, Carmel, Bob’s Café and Alice House.

Families are well catered for with highly regarded local schools including Malorees Infants School, Salusbury Primary School, Queens Park Community School and Islamia Primary School.

Transport links are excellent, with Queen’s Park Station, Kilburn and Brondesbury Park Station providing swift access to the West End and the City.

 "A word from the owners"

"We are selling our wonderful property to embark on a new adventure abroad. Located on a beautiful tree-lined street on the edge of Queen’s Park, our home is within close vicinity of shops, cafés, pubs, restaurants, and the famous farmers’ market. We love the original Edwardian features such as the red brickwork and the authentic fireplace, not to mention the high ceilings, which create a sense of spaciousness and grandeur. Our flat’s cosy living room leads to a conservatory dining area with direct access to a beautifully maintained park-like communal garden. We have spent some wonderful times in this home and will greatly miss it, especially its warmth, the beautiful natural light, and the oasis-like atmosphere of the garden. We are delighted to instruct Oliver and Liana to market our lovely home."
