Description


Note: This OpenRent Property Is No Longer Available For Rent. Description below is only for reference, and you can no longer book a viewing or contact this private landlord.
This two bedroom lower ground floor flat and its Grade II listed building are surrounded by some of London's best attractions.

The flat has its own entrance via stairs leading down from Exhibition Road.  The building stands at the end of its terrace, and a stone paved patio surrounds the flat on two sides, providing plenty of natural light.  A spacious hallway leads from the entrance door off the patio to the entrance door of the flat.

Period features include high ceilings, the parquet floor in the living room and large sash windows. The double bedroom has a built-in wardrobe; the single bedroom - which could serve as a study or accommodate bunk beds for children - has a sink.  The galley kitchen is well equipped.  The flat enjoys use of the adjacent storage room where laundry equipment is located; there is generous storage space.  All rooms have been recently redecorated and windows have been refurbished. Kitchen equipment, curtains in the living room, carpets in both bedrooms and laundry equipment are all new.  There is gas central heating.

The flat enjoys plentiful easy access to beautiful gardens, including Princes Gardens immediately behind the building.  Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are a few minutes walk away.

The Victoria and Albert, Natural History and Science Museums are all within easy walking distance, as are the Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Palace and the Orangery, Harrods and all the restaurants and shopping in Knightsbridge, Exhibition Road, South Kensington and Kensington.

The main buildings of Imperial College are nearby and many college amenities are available, including the Ethos Sports Centre and swimming pool (across the road from the flat), the Imperial College Health and Dental Centres and many dining, library and academic facilities and events.  You may become a Friend of Imperial College for a nominal fee and enjoy special access and discounts.

There is a convenience store behind the building across Princes Gardens, a Tesco Express near South Kensington tube station (0.5 mile) and three Waitrose supermarkets within walking distance: Waitrose Knightsbridge (0.6 mile walking through Princes Gardens and church gardens), Waitrose Old Brompton Road (0.6 mile) and Waitrose Gloucester Road (0.7 mile).  There is plenty of on-street residential parking.

Exhibition Road is unique in London for having a sophisticated shared space traffic scheme with an attractive road surface formed of machined granite. The scheme has been particularly successful and is a pleasure to use.

The flat encompasses the part of the building used by its owner, Frederick Leyland, a wealthy patron of the arts, as his study in the latter decades of the 19th century, when the building, then a single home, served as one of the centres of artistic life in Victorian London.  Leyland's study was decorated with paintings by Botticelli and other major works of art.  The dining room upstairs was transformed by James McNeill Whistler into the Peacock Room (on permanent display in the Smithsonian Museum) and various paintings by Whistler, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and other major artists hung in rooms upstairs.
