Property description

This fantastic five bedroom family house extends to over 2,700 sq ft with a 29' first floor drawing room and retains a wealth of period details. The property has been in the same family ownership for many years and as such has a delightfully welcoming feel with the raised ground floor arranged as a formal dining room and double doors opening to the kitchen.


Upstairs, and occupying the entire first floor, is an imposing drawing room with access to a terrace. The principal accommodation is arranged above this however there are two additional bedrooms in the lower ground floor but this floor, with its integral kitchenette, can also be a completely self contained flat having, as it does, its own entrance at the front of the house. In all this is a house that is perfectly arranged for family living and that has been very well maintained over the years by the current owners. Drayton Gardens runs directly south between the Old Brompton Road and the Fulham Road and to the west of Roland Gardens. Like Number Six, most of these houses were built between 1845 and 1851 and form part of a highly attractive, part stuccoed terrace. Number Six is situated at the northern end of the western terrace and as such is very convenient for the shops, bars, restaurants and schools that the Brompton Cross 'village' provides. Gloucester Road Underground Station is only a short distance away as are the myriad of shops and restaurants that Gloucester Road provides for.
