Elgin Avenue, London, W9

This exceptional five-bedroom Victorian residence, spanning approximately 3,260 square feet, is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period home on one of Maida Vale’s most sought-after streets. Properties of this calibre seldom come to market — the current owners have cherished it for over 25 years.

Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand, light-filled double reception room featuring soaring ceilings, intricate cornicing, and original fireplaces. This impressive space offers both comfort and elegance, ideal for entertaining or relaxing with family. Also on this level is a beautiful study with bespoke cabinetry and large sash windows that flood the room with natural light.

The lower ground floor, which benefits from its own private entrance, reveals a striking open-plan kitchen and dining area finished with contemporary microcement flooring. No expense has been spared with the bespoke Roundhouse kitchen, built in appliances and island overlooking the garden with separate walk in panty. Expansive glass doors open directly onto a generous south-facing garden with mature trees — a perfect setting for al fresco dining and outdoor gatherings. This floor also includes a versatile family room, a guest bedroom or storage room, and a stylish shower room.

On the first floor, a magnificent principal reception room with high ceilings, a bay window, and a period fireplace creates a true “wow” factor. A further double bedroom with built-in storage and access to a spacious family bathroom completes this level. The layout has been thoughtfully designed, with plumbing in place should a future owner wish to create a luxurious principal suite.

The upper floors comprise three additional bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom with a convenient utility area.

Throughout the home, the elegant period detailing — from ornate fireplaces to beautifully preserved wood floors — blends seamlessly with contemporary touches, resulting in a property that exudes timeless charm and character while perfectly suited for modern family living.

Situated in the heart of Maida Vale, this exceptional property combines the tranquility of a leafy residential street with the convenience of North London living. The area is renowned for its tree-lined avenues, grand period homes, and welcoming community atmosphere, making it one of the capital’s most desirable neighbourhoods for families and professionals alike.

The house is perfectly positioned just a short walk from Maida Vale Underground Station (0.4 miles) and Warwick Avenue Underground Station (0.5 miles), offering swift connections to Baker Street, Paddington, and the West End. Clifton Road, with its charming selection of boutique cafés, independent shops, and popular restaurants, is a short walk away, providing a vibrant village feel right on your doorstep.

Residents also enjoy close proximity to the much-loved Paddington Recreation Ground — Maida Vale’s green heart — which offers open parkland, tennis courts, a running track, playgrounds, and a café, ideal for leisurely weekends and family outings.
