St John's Wood is a prestigious area with an array of high quality homes and a deserved reputation for affluence. It is little surprise, then, to learn of its regal roots in medieval times the area was Crown land, and King Henry VIII established his Royal Hunting Grounds here.
Nearby Regent's Park is so called after the Prince Regent for whom it was designed and built, and to this day the trusty steeds of the King's Troop Royal House Artillery can be seen parading through the streets by way of exercise as they have a barracks in St John's Wood. To celebrate this monarchical legacy I'd like to introduce a beautiful property this month, a three bedroomed garden flat in the heart of Belsize Park with royal connections of its own. Set on pretty Buckland Crescent, the apartment is bright and spacious, with oversized windows and chic, contemporary appliances.
Lovingly refurbished by the current owners one of whom is an interior designer everything about the property breathes quality, from the original English oak wood floors to the smart tessellated Victorian black and white tiles in the conservatory.
Outside, a sizeable manicured garden stretches towards an adorable summerhouse, a quaint reminder of a bygone era and a finishing touch that makes this home utterly unique.
As if this weren't enough, the panels used to fashion both the conservatory and the summerhouse were once part of the Queen Mother's box at Ascot a fitting tribute to a home in this stately part of town.
Foxtons.co.uk/2346561 We let this two bedroomed flat in Mordern House in the heart of Marylebone Village at the full asking price of 425 per week after it received multiple offers, giving the landlord a choice of tenants.
A 12 month contract was agreed on the property. This pretty two bedroomed period conversion apartment recently let through at the very first viewing for 24 months on a managed basis.
It also achieved 20 per week more than last year, letting at 370 per week.
