This area is renowned for its stunning mansion blocks and well-maintained communal gardens; in fact, it is not unusual for tenants to come here specifically for this type of property.
The appeal of such a setting is clear: each apartment is finished to a high standard and usually retains the character of its original age, while the gardens are beautiful and substantial, their privacy making them an ideal playground for children and their size meaning there is room for every sunbather. This month I'd like to highlight a property in Clifton Gardens, a popular development in Little Venice whose lovely communal gardens incorporate tennis courts, a vast expanse of lawn and plenty of mature trees offering shade. Set on the top two floors of the building, this exceptional four bedroomed apartment overlooks this green oasis.
It wasn't always so outstanding: when the landlord purchased it about a year ago the property needed extensive refurbishment, so they swiftly set about giving it a complete overhaul.
Six months' hard work later and the results are spectacular: the bespoke kitchen was designed by Harvey Jones and features a plasma TV; the bathrooms are Villeroy & Boch and the main one contains a state-of-the-art whirlpool replete with steamcube.
The loft above offers a huge amount of storage space, while the Element 7 `floating' wood floor is engineered and insulated to ensure no noise is transmitted to the lower floors.
Every detail has been attended to with care and this culminates in a high-specification property that any tenant would be proud to call home. Foxtons.co.uk/22181573 We recently let this one bedroomed first floor flat on Blenheim Terrace for 18 months at 300 per week a 40 per week increase from last year. The property is set just off Abbey Road and will be managed by Foxtons. This two bedroomed flat on Hill Road in St John's Wood recently let at 525 per week though us an increase of 25 per week from just six months ago.
The property let for 12 months and will be managed by Foxtons.
