2 bed Flat For Sale £925,000
Benbow Road, London W6

The subject of an exacting renovation, this excellent two-bedroom apartment, with private south-facing garden, occupies the lower-ground floor of a Victorian terraced house in sought-after Brackenbury Village. It extends to 1013 square foot, including an insulated space in the form of a wonderful garden studio.

Entry is via steps to the lower-ground level where a long hallway links the two ends of the lateral expanse. To the rear, a sweeping open-plan room with glazed bi-folding doors opens entirely to the garden.

The kitchen is arranged along one wall, with bespoke cabinetry, brass fixtures and granite worktops. Opposite is a dining area, bathed in light from a roof light overhead. In a contemporary celebration of Victorian aesthetic a strong period palette combines with striking engineered wooden floorboards that run the length of the room. A wealth of light illuminates the space, dissolving the division between the lounge and a wonderfully private garden and studio.

The master bedroom is situated at the front of the plan and has a large bay window that floods the space with natural light and a wall of in-built cupboards. A second bedroom is situated just off the living room and a family bathroom is set between this and the master.

Benbow Road can be found at the heart of wonderful Brackenbury Village, just south of the Goldhawk Road. The local Andover Arms is excellent, as is Pekoe Mellow Tea House. Stenton’s butcher is also a much-loved local shop.

Thanks in no small part to Leith’s School of Food and Wine, the area is becoming synonymous with a growing ‘foodie’ culture, with a number of good pubs and a Ginger Pig butchers just a short walk to the north. The Eagle with its popular bohemian garden and excellent menu is opposite and The Oak, now a pizza restaurant is seconds away on Goldhawk Road. The area also has several ‘outstanding’ and ‘good’ rated schools for all ages.

Shepherd’s Bush, home to one of London’s Westfield centres is within walking distance as is White City, a little further north. The recently renovated Television Centre is at the centre of an exciting regeneration of the area, with independent restaurants such as Kricket, a cinema and the new Soho House members’ club, White City House. Also nearby is White City Place, a creative campus with restaurants, shops and museums, and new home to rca’s Schools of Communication, Humanities, and Architecture.

Well positioned for transport, the nearest stations are Goldhawk Road, Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith or a little further to Shepherd’s Bush (Central Line and London Overground). Holland Park, Notting Hill and Central London are easily accessible by bus or tube. Easy access to the Westway provides a fast route out of London to the West, towards Heathrow Airport and the M4.
