Key features and description

An unusually atmospheric two-bedroom flat on one of Shepherd's Bush's most handsome tree-lined residential streets, combining beautiful original Victorian details, a cleverly designed social layout and a wonderful sense of light, greenery and space.

Set on the first floor of a substantial Victorian house, the flat is exceptionally light and bright, with large windows throughout, high ceilings, original cornicing and beautiful wide timber floorboards, still retaining their original Victorian clasp nails.

A welcoming hallway leads to the two bedrooms and into the main living and dining room a warm, characterful space designed as the social heart of the home. A built-in bench and table create a natural place to dine, work or gather with friends without overwhelming the room.

Just a few steps down sits the south-facing kitchen. It feels closely connected to the living space so whoever is cooking remains part of the conversation while the change in level gives the kitchen its own identity and a pleasing sense of separation. The bathroom sits alongside, also enjoying the bright south-facing rear aspect.

The two good-sized bedrooms are neatly tucked away from the main living areas on their own small landing at the front of the flat, overlooking the handsome Victorian street. This separation between entertaining and sleeping spaces makes the layout feel particularly well considered.

The outlook from the rear is one of the flat's most appealing features. Loftus Road's unusually long and wide gardens create a generous amount of space between the houses, allowing the view to sweep across mature gardens, green trees, rooftops and open sky rather than directly into neighbouring properties. 

It gives the home an unexpected sense of privacy and openness for such a well-connected London location.

Throughout, the old timber, original detailing and carefully considered design give the interior an individual quality stylish without feeling overly formal or contrived.

Loftus Road itself is a handsome, tree-lined street of substantial Victorian houses, offering that rare combination of a genuinely residential setting and exceptional connectivity. Hammersmith Park is at the end of the road, while the independent shops, cafe's and restaurants of Shepherd's Bush are close by. 

White City and Westfield are within easy reach, together with Wood Lane, Shepherd's Bush Market and Shepherd's Bush stations.

A bright, private and beautifully individual home leafy and peaceful when you are inside it, yet brilliantly connected to everything around it.
