Spotlight on: Dibdin House, Maida Vale, London W9

Dibdin House is one of Maida Vale’s most recognisable buildings, forming part of a well-kept red-brick Art Deco estate with smart communal gardens. Residents are sometimes lucky enough to spot Olympic and Tour de France champion Bradley Wiggins, as his mother still lives in Dibdin House in the property where the cycling supremo was brought up.

The Maida Vale property market As a Maida Vale estate agent, we closely monitor house prices and have seen values rise over the last few years. Dovetailing with our findings are the latest figures from Rightmove. The property portal says overall sold prices for properties for sale in Maida Vale were up 11% on last year, and up 31% on 2012. Maida Vale, however, still presents local value for money, being cheaper than the Little Venice enclave and neighbouring Paddington.

A little more about Maida Vale itself Maida Vale is actually named after a pub - the Hero of Maida on Edgware Road - which is named the battle of Maida in southern Italy in 1806. Maida Vale was a predominantly Jewish neighbourhood in the 19th and late 20th centuries; the Lauderdale Road synagogue remains a familiar local landmark. The area is characterised by the red-brick Victorian and Edwardian mansion blocks, which comprise spacious one, two and three-bedroom apartments.

Maida Vale enjoys a waterside location along the Grand Union Canal, with Little Venice a most sought-after enclave of W9. Properties for sale in Little Venice overlooking the water often command multi million pound asking prices.

Maida Vale life Life is good in Maida Vale - so good that it attracts a crop of celebrity residents which have included Noel Gallagher and Robbie Williams.

Maida Vale properties provide a stunning backdrop to everyday business, with the Art Deco mansion blocks and period render-clad townhouses setting an attractive scene. Luminaries from the media and music world gravitate to W9 due, in part, to the BBC studios on Maida Vale’s Delaware Road.

Clifton Road is a retail and social hub, lined with charming cafĂŠs, delis and independent stores. Local residents are also fond of Clifton Nurseries in Clifton Villas, where the restaurant is as much respected as the choice of plants. Social media is awash with locals extolling the virtues of W9. Recommendations include The Art of Coffee and The Coffee Tree for hot drinks, The Waterway and The Summerhouse for riverside dining, Paddington Recreation Ground on Randolph Avenue and Paddington Sports Club on Castellain Road.
