the property

This flat, which is on the lower ground floor of a Grade II listed Victorian building, makes a perfect home for one or two adults (a couple or two friends sharing), or a family with one or two small children. It is bright with plenty of natural light provided by large original sash windows which look over a wide stone paved patio surrounding the flat on two sides.

The area in the building comprising this flat was chosen by the shipping magnate Frederick Leyland to serve as his study or "sanctum" when he bought the building as a family mansion in 1874. After his study was installed, lavishly furnished and hung with world class paintings, Leyland patronized the American artist James McNeill Whistler, who created the building's Peacock Room, which made the building famous.

The flat has its own entryway into the building via the patio and a hallway which no other flat uses, providing unusual privacy.

Original Victorian features - including high ceilings, a parquet floor in the living room and the large sash windows - combine with modern touches to enhance the flat's comfort and character. Modern touches include state of the art soundproofing and gas fired central heating with a Worcester Bosch combi boiler, programmer, and wireless thermostat.

The living room is furnished with Danish teak furniture from the early 1960's.

The master bedroom has a king size bed. The single bedroom has its own sink.

There is abundant storage space. The flat enjoys exclusive use of an adjacent storage/utility room equipped with a washing machine, condensing tumble dryer, drawers and shelves.

Transport

South Kensington tube station is a short walk away and there are many bus stops near the flat.

On-street residential parking can be arranged.
