Key features and description
Victorian grandeur meets loft-style living in this exceptional upper maisonette, where beautifully preserved period features, architectural interest and soaring proportions combine to create one of Shepherd's Bush's most distinctive homes. From the moment you climb the grand Victorian steps and enter, the scale of the interior is immediately apparent. A wide entrance hall, generous ceiling heights and exquisite period detailing create a striking first impression; while bold contemporary design brings warmth, character and individuality throughout. Occupying the upper floors of an elegant mid-terrace Victorian building, the property offers generous accommodation arranged over multiple levels, including two light-filled reception rooms, a dramatic double-height principal bedroom, a versatile loft room and a secluded private terrace offering a rare sense of privacy. The approach is every bit as appealing as the home itself. Loftus Road is one of Shepherd's Bush's widest and most attractive residential streets, lined with mature, well-manicured trees and handsome Victorian terraces. The upper section is a no-through road, significantly reducing passing traffic and enhancing the sense of calm and privacy. Despite its excellent connectivity, the location retains a peaceful, residential atmosphere that feels a world away from the bustle of the surrounding area. Both reception rooms retain their original fireplaces with marble surrounds, while the front reception features the bay window visible from the street. The original ceiling roses provide a lovely finishing touch. The kitchen sits to the rear of the ground floor, fitted with granite worktops, modern units and integrated appliances including a built-in oven and hob, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher. A glass door leads out to a beautifully arranged private patio terrace, which is not overlooked. Raised timber planters are filled with lavender, heathers and seasonal planting, while terracotta pots gather under a mature magnolia tree. Cool and shady in the mornings, and sun-filled in the afternoons, the terrace offers plenty of space for a table, chairs and a parasol, making it a wonderful spot for morning coffee, alfresco dining or an evening cocktail. One of the terrace's greatest surprises is its rare privacy. With no neighbouring houses directly behind, it enjoys an open outlook that feels remarkably secluded for such a central Shepherd's Bush location. The door can remain open all summer long. Continuing to the first floor you will find the principal bedroom an extraordinary space defined by its double-height vaulted ceiling, original fireplace, double sash windows and deep pink feature wall. It is a room with real presence and personality, combining Victorian character with a bold, contemporary design aesthetic. There is also a second double bedroom on this floor with a walk-in robe accessed via four wooden steps, and a large sash window overlooking the neighbouring gardens to the rear of the property. A balcony-style opening overlooks the principal bedroom below, adding a striking sense of volume and architectural drama. For buyers seeking a more conventional layout, there is potential to enclose the space, if desired. The principal bedroom and loft room share an ensuite bathroom, complete with a bathtub and shower fittings. For commuters, Shepherd's Bush and Wood Lane stations (Central and Hammersmith & City Lines) are both within easy walking distance, offering rapid access to Bond Street in under 15 minutes and Canary Wharf in around half an hour. Paddington, Euston and King's Cross St Pancras are easily accessible via the Hammersmith & City Line. Westfield London and the redeveloped BBC Television Centre are also less than a ten-minute walk away. Heading west, Heathrow Airport is approximately 30 minutes by car in favourable traffic conditions. With convenient access to the M3, M4 and A40/M40 corridor, as well as the South Circular within approximately a 10-minute drive, the property also offers excellent road connections across London and to the West Country and the Midlands.
