Maskells estate agents are delighted to announce the sale of a charming three bedroom maisonette with large private garden, set in the heart of the Phillimore Estate. The sale presents the buyer with the opportunity to extend and improve this high-ceilinged maisonette of 1,719 sq. ft. This space includes the vaults, which offer scope to provide further accommodation, subject to the usual consents (several neighbouring properties have enhanced their living space by successfully completing these improvements).
The apartment, which had a guide price of £2,350,000 for the leasehold with a share of the freehold, has an elegant and high-ceilinged drawing room with bay window and fireplace alongside a large kitchen/breakfast room, which is fully fitted with views over the mature garden. A large bedroom suite along with two further bedrooms and a family bathroom are located on the garden level and steps from bedroom two lead via French doors to the charming garden, which is partly decked and has a bright, secluded aspect.
Numbers 1 to 27 Stafford Terrace are Listed Grade II, as one of two perfectly preserved facing terraces, dating from 1868 as part of new development on the Philimore Estate. The style of the terrace is Italianate with three storeys plus attics and basements.
Number 18 Stafford Terrace is the Sambourne House museum, home to the Victorian cartoonist, illustrator and photographer Edward Linley Sambourne, who was chief cartoonist for the weekly satirical magazine Punch. When his family took occupancy in 1875 they decorated the interior in the fashionable aesthetic style, including William Morris wallpapers, this interior being well preserved and now offering a glimpse back in time. Sambourne House is the sister museum to Leighton House nearby.
Stafford Terrace is located close to High Street Kensington and Notting Hill Gate with a variety of restaurants, cafes and shops. The nearest underground stations are Kensington High Street (District & Circle lines) and Notting Hill Gate (Central and Circle line).
For outdoor recreation, Holland Park and Kensington Gardens are nearby, both offering plenty of green space in the heart of the capital. Holland Park offers over twenty hectares of gardens with children’s play facilities, sports areas, a cafeteria, woodland and the beautiful Kyoto Garden, a Japanese garden donated by the Chamber of Commerce of Kyoto in 1991. Kensington Gardens offers over 107 hectares, dating from the 18th Century and originally part of Kensington Palace. These gardens are famous as the inspiration for J M Barrie’s Peter Pan. Also on the doorstep is the Design Museum, the world's leading museum devoted to contemporary design in every form.
