Property description
This is a Grade II listed classic early Victorian house built in 1838 which has recently undergone a complete refurbishment that has cleverly combined the many original period details with a modern eclectic style.
The house is arranged over four floors, on the lower ground floor is a wonderful contemporary kitchen leading via a family room/dining room to the south facing 55' garden. On the ground floor is a traditional double drawing room with a terrace overlooking the garden. The Principal bedroom suite occupies the first floor and on the second floor there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom.
The secluded leafy garden faces south west and backs onto the equally impressive gardens of Launceston Place, as such it is completely private. Victoria Grove runs between Gloucester Road and Launceston Place and is an attractive treelined street with a variety of early Victorian architectural styles. The nearest transport is provided by either Gloucester Road or High Street Kensington underground stations as are the extensive selection of shops, bars and restaurants that both locations provide.
