Is This Still The Coolest Street In Europe? It’s been a while since Vogue gave Chamberlayne Road that title. Even so, this immaculate flat is the ideal base to enjoy this fashionably chilled west London suburb or make a quick trip into town.
Kensal Rise is just a short stroll from Ladbroke Grove and Notting Hill. It’s got plenty of leafy west London charm, minus the red trouser brigade and tourists.
Over the years it’s become a bit of a hotspot for creative types - and being only a 15 minute bike ride from the BBC & Westfield certainly helps.
This two bedroom flat occupies the ground floor of this bay fronted Victorian terrace - which is only 3 minutes walk from the station.
The spacious lounge at the front ticks plenty of period charm boxes - with a traditional fireplace, beautiful wood floors and ornate ceilings.
There’s two bedrooms (a good size double and a smaller double that would be perfect as a 2nd bedroom or home office) along with a modern kitchen and bathroom.
The kitchen is particularly nice, with enough space for a small dining table and access to the private south facing back garden.
The low maintenance garden is mainly all decking - ideal for sitting out with a cuppa or a glass of something chilled.
There’s so much on offer nearby that you may not need to head far from Kensal Rise. And most of it is literally down your road.
Chamberlayne Road somehow manages to combine being both leafy and suburban, posh and refined, fun and young all at the same time.
You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to quirky independent shops, cafés and restaurants. This isn’t the place to seek out the high street chains - you’ve got Westfield for that…
If you do need to head into central London, its handy Zone 2 location means you can take the Bakerloo Line from Kensal Green to Oxford Circus, Piccadilly, Charing Cross or Waterloo.
Or there are overland trains to Euston, Richmond, Clapham, Hackney and any number of stops in between.
If you’re looking to sample the Kensal Rise lifestyle and take advantage of the handy west London location, this versatile flat will be the ideal base.
