Capital Hideaway

If you’re looking for a quiet base in the capital, this Maida Vale home ticks the box. Located in a gated community, you’ll be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet within walking distance of Notting Hill, Paddington, and Little Venice. The home itself boasts private parking – a rare find in London – a patio garden and a roof terrace. The open-plan layout works well for groups and the separate TV room will keep the kids happy – or it could double up as an office if you’re travelling for work. We think this hidden gem is a great option for a memorable city break with family or friends.
