Property description

A spacious (nearly 1200 square feet) and extremely light, lateral three bedroom, two bath property located within a smart 1930s mansion block on the green and quiet Cornwall Gardens. Historically designed for the sole purpose of practical and more modern lateral living following the exodus of property owners no longer requiring large and expensive Victorian houses; Stanford Court, complete with porter and large lift, was seen as the future of London living. Today the wooden panelled communal parts are a reminder of the grandeur and heritage that this building offers. The ceilings are a very decent height and uniform throughout; particularly impressive is the beautiful, original wooden parquet flooring that still exists beneath the carpets which could certainly be returned to its former glory. Predominantly west facing and on the third floor (with lift) this property receives a great deal of natural light and the majority of the day's sun. Unlike some mansions buildings, that have long dark corridors without windows, this is clearly an exception with, at the very least, frosted windows providing light from internal light wells. Whilst the kitchen and bathrooms could benefit from some modernisation, this property arguably offers extremely good value for the location and sizeable living space compared to others currently on the market. It also has a very long lease of circa 987 years.

The enviable address of Cornwall Gardens is situated a short distance from Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens consisting of a number of mature, leafy, communal garden squares surrounded by architecturally significant Victorian terraced buildings. The nearest underground station, Gloucester Road is but a few minutes on foot and by car, there is swift access West towards the M4 and Heathrow and alternatively Knightsbridge to the East.
