Key features and description

A beautiful lateral apartment set on the first floor of this charming Grade II listed stucco fronted building.

Offering over 3,500 sq ft (325 sq m) of space and spanning two buildings, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and an incredible entertaining space. Within one half of the apartment, the main reception areas are awash with period detailing, ceilings are in excess of 4m and the floor to ceiling windows with original shutters open onto the balcony and provide a fantastic vista over the terrace below. The oak parquet flooring along with the original fireplaces, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, and formal dining space, all work to create a quintessential period apartment in London. The formal dining area benefits from curved windows opening to a further balcony. The natural light floods through this space due to the imposing windows at either end and the favourable aspect. 

The kitchen provides further entertaining and dining space and there is a mezzanine study leading to a substantial roof terrace with a south westerly aspect, a shower room and WC complete this side of the apartment. All bedrooms, remaining bathrooms, and an additional reception room are located in the other half of the apartment. Additional benefits include guest cloakroom and utility room, extensive storage facilities and off-street parking, which is available via permit on a first come first served basis on the private road to the front of the building. While the property would benefit from renovation, the bones and charm of the property are unquestionable, its sale presents an opportunity for someone to create a perfect home with a wealth of character.

Westbourne Terrace is an attractive tree-lined avenue running north connecting Hyde Park to Little Venice.
