Set in an iconic Art Deco West London development, and once the home of a
classic comedy actor, this bright and spacious three bedroom flat offers warm
and comfortable accommodation for a couple, a small family or sharers. The
apartment has just undergone a full renovation throughout including a new
kitchen, family bathroom, and guest W/c.
Situated on the third floor, the south - facing private balcony offers views
over the common garden area and over the horizon to the west.
The principal bedroom is unusually spacious and quiet, backing onto
residential gardens, whilst the second bedroom may alternatively be dressed as
a sizeable dining room or homeworking space. The generous hallway enjoys ample
storage cupboards and a second WC, as well as well - sized kitchen and bathroom
spaces.
The flat comes with a share of the freehold, meaning the block is co - owned by
the residents and managed according to their shared interests. Recent work has
been done to upgrade the heating systems and water supplies to modern
efficient systems.
Barons Keep is excellently located for transport links, across the road from
Barons Court tube, which runs to Soho in 16 minutes and Heathrow in 33 mins
What the owner had to say:
What do you love most about your home/property?
I have owned this flat for 19 years and lived in it for much of that time
until I had to move for work. It is very peaceful, set well back from the
road, on a higher floor, full of light, warm in the winter, spacious, and I
loved the conveniences of the off - street car parking, the porter, the tube
station and bus routes nearby.
I also love the 1930s / art deco feel of the block, as well as the residential
community here. A fun fact about this flat is that the comedy actor John Le
Mesurier (of Dad's Army fame) lived here for a long time (in this particular
flat) and there is a blue plaque commemorating him on the block. I used to get
the occasional piece of fan mail long after he died.
Why are you selling?
We're selling because I have got a job in another city, and so we'll be moving
up there.
What do you love about the area?
Barons Court is a great area (and a well - kept secret) - it is very central and
convenient, but less bustling than nearby Earls' Court, Fulham or Hammersmith.
It nonetheless has lots of shops, amenities and connections, as well as nice
little parks, pubs and lots of great food options. The local shops and cafes
are really well - established and friendly - Cafe Continente (for fantastic
breakfast), Best Mangal 1996 (as good as Dalston) and the most useful hardware
shop are a five minute walk from the back door. We would often spend the
weekends strolling around Kensington, Notting Hill or Brook Green, walking
along the river Thames or zipping into Soho on the Piccadilly line. The huge
Tesco at Kensington is a short walk or drive, and Westfield is also a short
tube ride.
