Beautiful Canalside 1-Bed Flat with Terrace

Summary:
Beautiful period flat, stylishly renovated. Nestled quietly overlooking the Grand Union canal and less than ten minutes walk from world-famous Portobello Road, it also has fantastic transport links to central London.

A former 1920s distillery, our flat is bright and sunny with high ceilings, whitewashed oak floors, bare London brick walls, woodburner fire, and a beautiful terrace overlooking the canal.

Come, stay, relax, enjoy London but have somewhere to retreat to when you've had enough!

The Space:
At the back of a renovated distillery, our bright and sunny flat is a tranquil home away from home and a retreat from the hectic pace of London. The beautiful terrace overlooks the Grand Union canal and is the perfect spot to unwind and watch the walkers and boaters float by, with lights strung up making it cosy into the evening.

We've lovingly renovated the flat to a beautiful standard. There's a modern fully equipped kitchen and open plan living/dining space with woodburning stove and handmade dining table. It's a lovely room to eat and socialise in.

The living room is to the rear of the flat, with Apple and Sky TV, access to the terrace and views over the canal from two sets of double doors.

Nestled below this is the bedroom, where a kingsize double bed with memory foam mattress awaits you, on which our cleaners place fresh, hotel-quality linen before your arrival.

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property during their stay.

The Neighborhood:
Lovely Ladbroke Grove in West London has gone through a lot of changes over the years, from factory housing in the 1800s to a bohemian artist paradise in the 1960s. The British Underground scene grew up in neighbouring Notting Hill, and legendary rock star Jimmy Hendrix lived, wrote and died here. However, this is still the borough of Kensington and Chelsea, so it was only a matter of time before the wealthy families and media moguls moved in. Amidst the posh boutiques there are plenty of cool, creative places to check out.

We're also on the boundary of ultra hip Kensal Rise with its fantastic shops and bars (Vogue recently voted the main street, Chamberlayne Road, the hippest street in Europe), and Queen's Park where there's a weekly farmers market and wonderful parks to stroll in. We're also a two-minute walk from the beautiful, world-famous Kensal Green cemetery with magnificent tombs and catacombs to explore. A 20-minute stroll along the banks of the Grand Union canal brings you to Little Venice and Paddington, where you can catch a canal boat all the way to Camden.
