Douro Place, London, W8

Ideal family home in a Kensington cul-de-sac.

Description

Built in c. 1850, in the heart of the Vallotton Estate, this is a classic semi-detached Victorian villa on Douro Place which forms part of the sought after de Vere Gardens Conservation Area.
Arguably one of the most attractive houses on the road, it is the only one which retains its original Victorian features (brickwork, fanlight above the door with Roman numerals, attractive trellis metal work on the bay overhang and the porch), whilst also benefitting from off-street parking and a side entrance to the south-facing garden.

The house also has the huge added added appeal of a small, detached cottage at the end of the garden, which lends itself to a variety of uses; home office, staff, guest, teenager or perhaps rental accommodation.

Douro Place is approached via an attractive front garden with under pavement storage. Featuring a particularly wide marble entrance hall, the house comprises formal drawing room, dining room, kitchen / conservatory family area, utility room, four bedrooms and three bathrooms (one en suite), with additional cloakroom and storage cupboards.

Douro Place (Garden House) has two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en suite bathroom), reception / dining room and kitchenette. It has its own balcony, accessed from the principal bedroom on the first floor.

The house has been in the same, much loved, family ownership for 34 years.

Douro Place is located within 0.25miles to Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.

Location

Douro Place is ideally situated south of Kensington Palace and Kensington Gardens, in a quiet cul de sac off Victoria Road.

Shops, restaurants and transport facilities (District and Circle Lines) can be found at Kensington High Street but the house is also well positioned for access to Notting Hill, Knightsbridge and South Kensington.
