This Victorian Maisonette's Idyllic Re-Wilded Garden Feels A Million Miles From The Glitz And Glamour Of White City And Westfield - But It's Only Around The Corner! It could be the ideal spot for creatives to be inspired and recharge their batteries.
If you’re looking for an idyllic and inspirational home, this beautifully restored Victorian maisonette could be perfect.
It offers stylish and spacious accommodation split across the ground floor and lower ground floor of an imposing Victorian end terrace. All rooms are drenched in natural light and the spacious 3 bed arrangement makes this home feel like a house.
Whilst you may find it inspires your creativity, you certainly won’t need to apply any imagination to the carefully restored interior. It’s been architecturally designed to make the most of the maisonette’s charming period features - whilst at the same time balancing this with tasteful modern design.
The open plan living room and kitchen / dining room is the perfect example of how old and new work perfectly together.
The bay-fronted lounge ticks all the period charm boxes, from the original sash windows and beautiful fireplace to the intricate ceiling rose.
The kitchen is tastefully modern, with a gorgeous solid wood fitted kitchen that matches the ingenious built-in desk that makes use of an otherwise unused alcove in the living room.
You can choose where to sit and eat. There's room for a dining table by the bay window at the front and also space for a small table in the kitchen, next to another lovely working fireplace.
The smallest of the three bedrooms is on the ground floor. It’s a versatile room that could double up as a home office, or reading nook with a built-in single bed that makes the most of the available space.
There are two further bedrooms on the lower ground floor.
Both are large double bedrooms, one with an imposing bay window over-looking a large front garden. There’s also a shower room with a large walk-in shower and a stylish and modern mosaic tiled bathroom, next to a door giving handy end of terrace, side access.
The master bedroom has access to the re-wilded back garden. You’ll love waking up to the sound of birdsong and the east facing orientation means light will flood into your bedroom from sunrise.
The back to nature back garden is a treat for all of your senses. It’s a haven for birds and bees and has so much for you to enjoy, including roses, grapes and edible hedges of plum and mulberry. There’s a choice of places to sit back and take it all in, including a pergola tucked away amongst the lush greenery.
Heading back inside there is another entrance to a large utility room with a stylish slate floor and again the neutral mosaic tiles. This is the perfect wet room, utility space to do your laundry with garden access. There is also a full bath, shower and toilet with enough space to dry your laundry if you don’t want to hang it in the garden.
There’s absolutely no need to make any urgent improvements but the large back garden and lower ground floor layout does give you options. Subject to planning permission you could extend at the rear or add a side return extension to create additional space.
Loftus Road is a wide tree lined street where you wouldn’t guess the Queens Park Rangers stadium that shares its name is only around the corner.
If you’re not a QPR fan you can turn right at the top of the road instead of left. That way you'll head towards Hammersmith Park, which also offers a very pleasant route through to nearby White City.
It’s only a 5 minute walk down to Uxbridge Road where you’ll find a fabulous choice of local shops and places to eat, along with the “Outstanding” St Stephen’s primary school.
And whenever you need to get your high end shopping fix (or a choice of big name restaurants), Westfield Shopping Centre is only 10 minutes walk away.
Loftus Road will be the perfect place to call home if you work at White City or Westfield but there’s great transport links if you need to head further afield.
Wood Lane and Shepherd’s Bush stations are roughly the same short walk away, so you can hit the shops on Bond Street in less than 15 minutes or continue on to Bank or Canary Wharf in around half an hour. Heading West out of London by car is so easy and Heathrow is 30 minutes in light traffic.
If you’ve been longing to get back to nature, this beautifully restored three bedroom maisonette could be the perfect re-wilded retreat in the heart of Shepherds Bush.
I’m expecting plenty of interest so call me on EXT 1030 to arrange a private viewing.
