Lovely, spacious, NY-style, 2-bed, third storey flat on two floors. One double bedroom, one single bedroom, plus one cot and all baby furniture (playpen / high chair / stairgate) available, if desired. There is also a queen-sized sofabed in the sitting-room. Would suit non-smoking couple, or couple with one child (or possibly two very young children, but they would have to be young for the bedroom to work happily for them, space-wise), or two single sharers. Has often worked well for long-term tenants whose adult kids visit from overseas for a time. Single bedroom or dining room both work well as a study, with dining table, desk, phone points etc in both. Very light, white, with mirrors and wood floors throughout. Fully-furnished and equipped with modern cream and wood furniture and white linen and towels. Superb for entertaining, and easy for having visiting guests.
Beautiful, spacious kitchen; good-sized sitting-room; dining-room (table seats 6-8 comfortably); good-sized, fully-tiled bathroom. All amenities, including top of the range chef's 90cm oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washer-dryer, microwave (the kitchen is very popular with serious chefs); television and DVD player (no satellite), 2 phone/computer lines (broadband, high speed connection available), 2 television points (one in sitting room, one in master bedroom); desk and proper desk chair for study; masses of storage and cupboard space; good lighting. Views across tree-lined street on one side: more urban views right across West London the other; great for sunsets.
Beautiful communal garden nearby for residents of the flat, with enclosed children’s play area.
Fabulous, highly sought-after area: Central-Zone 1. Near Hyde Park, Notting Hill, Portobello markets; high quality supermarket (Waitrose) 2 min. walk around the corner at end of street; 5 tube lines nearby (nearest tube also 2 min. walk) and buses (3 min. walk) straight into the city centre; mainline Paddington station is 7-8 min. walk away (Heathrow Express train to Heathrow Airport runs from here – it takes 15 mins), as well as trains to Oxford (50 mins), Bath (1hr15 min.), Bristol (1hr30min.), Cardiff, Swansea, Hereford, Wales, the west and south-west (Devon, Cornwall); shops, restaurants, cinemas, skating rink, bowling alley, shopping mall 4-5 min. away. Library, gym, pool, squash courts and London-renowned luxury spa/sauna/steam rooms at end of the street.
Available indefinitely. LONG LETS ONLY (usually minimum of 1 year but occasionally less) @ £1700 per month; £1600 per month for all or any part of a second year. (The current market rental value for the flat, through London rental agencies, is currently £2200 a month but we prefer to let it for less: it is enough for us and fairer to visitors to the UK.)
Please note: we have let the apartment out for over nine years now and it always lets very quickly.
Currently rented out until June 2012. |
