MAIDA VALE, London
Remains highly sought after and commands
prices to match desirability. Maida Vale boasts a rich stock
of flats, big and small, old and new. Many of the large Victorian
mansion blocks have sizable communal gardens to the rear.
Family houses are rare, although a small number of mews properties
are available. Little Venice remains one of London's hidden
gems. Warwick Avenue, running north from Harrow Road across
the Regent's Canal, boasts large cream stucco and red brick
mansion blocks filled with grand, expensive conversions. Canal
facing properties are the most expensive.
It is hard to believe that in the 1980s
the Church Commissioners, who were the big local landowners,
decided to sell their holdings at seemingly any price. Local
residents and developers alike were the happy recipients of
the Church Commissioner s largesse and it was not uncommon
for freehold houses to be bought for less than half their
worth. As an indirect result of this feeding frenzy, most
of the houses in Maida Vale were converted into flats.
Recently the economic climate has changed
to favour houses over flats and much of the eighties conversion
work is being undone. The big attraction of buying a house
in Maida Vale is the multitude of communal gardens, the largest
of which lies between Warrington and Randolph Crescent and
is nearly 3 acres in size.
Whilst the centre of the area is dominated
by large red brick mansion blocks, the southern-most corner
of Maida Vale centres about Little Venice, so called because
of the views of the junction of three branches of the grand
union canal. There is a parade of useful shops and restaurants
on Clifton Road and Clifton Nursery garden centre on Clifton
Villas, which completes the pictures of a largely self-sustaining
community.
