Alexandra House, Oldham Terrace, London W3

Close to Acton High Street and Chiswick, this ground-floor apartment lies within the original part of Alexandra House, a recently redeveloped building dating to the 1920s. Its incumbent features are celebrated and combined with considered modern finishes and technological solutions. The apartment has access to a shared rooftop terrace, where far-reaching views stretch across the city.



The Tour



Brick-built, Alexandra House's silhouette is traditional: its nine-over-nine sash windows punctuate its street-facing aspects, hinting at the light-filled interiors within. Above is a contemporary extension, slightly stepped back from the original core of the building. Entry is to a smart communal hall, where this apartment's front door is sited.



From here is an open-plan kitchen and living area, where extensive ceiling heights and expansive sash windows provide plenty of natural light and volume. The layout is versatile and would suit various configurations. At one end is the kitchen, equipped with sleek units and integrated appliances.

Herringbone hardwood flooring extends from here through to the bedroom, which has two additional sash windows along with bespoke built-in wardrobes.



A modern shower room sits adjacent and has a clean, neutral palette.



Underfloor heating, smart controls and an MVHR system allow for energy-conscious occupation.



Outside Space



A communal patio area and roof terrace provide easily accessible outdoor space, with the latter providing panoramic views across the London skyline.
