Description

United Kingdom Sotheby’s International Realty presents a stunning Victorian terrace house in Little Venice, spanning five floors with a beautiful roof terrace and exceptional rear garden. The seven-bedroom property boasts high ceilings and thoughtful, elegant interior design throughout.

The lower ground floor features a spacious Bulthaup kitchen leading to a dining room connecting seamlessly to a family room and a private south-facing garden that leads to expansive private communal gardens. This floor also includes a staff bedroom and two powder rooms.

On the upper ground floor, impressive ceiling heights define generously proportioned rooms, including a double-height atrium dividing the raised ground floor for a striking dual aspect in the media and drawing rooms.

The first floor exclusively houses the principal bedroom suite, with a large bedroom offering leafy views over the communal gardens, a walk-through dressing room and a beautiful bathroom. Five more bedrooms span the upper two floors, with three en-suites and one configured as a gym. The top floor accommodates a playroom/office.

The roof terrace offers excellent views of Little Venice, perfect for alfresco dining or summer entertaining. Residents enjoy access to communal gardens sprawling over three acres of verdant land.

Little Venice, with its picturesque canals, narrow boats, and waterside cafes, exudes a charming village feel. Close to Paddington and Warwick Avenue Underground Stations, it offers swift travel into central London.

  • Rent ratio — Monthly rent ÷ purchase price (1% rule). 1%+ = strong, 0.8–1% = okay, <0.8% = weak for cashflow.
  • Max investor price — Rent ÷ 0.8%; the price at which rent would be 0.8% of price (Stoke-style target).
  • Target investor price — Rent ÷ 1%; the price at which rent would be 1% of price (strong cashflow band).
  • Gross yield — Annual rent as % of purchase price (no costs).
  • Cost-to-rent — Price ÷ annual rent (from OpenRent comparables). Under 14× = strong, 14–16× = acceptable, 17×+ = compressed.
  • Cashflow — Rent minus mortgage, 10% maintenance, £25/mo compliance. Assumes 75% LTV, 3.95% APR (5yr fixed), 25yr term.
  • ROI — Annual profit ÷ cash in (deposit + 4% purchase costs).
