All majesty and scale, both inside and out, this outstanding flat makes quite the statement.

​

The gorgeous, lofty Victorian building of architectural merit is set within a substantial verdant plot and set back from a most attractive tree-lined avenue, giving the overall impression of genteel exclusivity.

​

Whilst the layout of the rooms is unconventional it really works and gives the space great character. The heart of this home is a spacious hexagonal hall from which most of the rooms span. From here, the grace and splendour of the flat become apparent, nowhere more so than in the spectacular living room - certainly amongst the largest we've encountered, with great panoramic bay windows adding to the sense of grandeur.

​

So, full dolce vita then? Yes, living here would feel very special indeed. The vibe is luxurious and refined. The current decor, with more than a hint of Parisian Bohemian, is perfectly suited to the building's intrinsic drama and elegance.

​

Ceilings are high, original features are intact and include a wonderful original parquet floor. Thankfully, the authenticity of this home has been retained and the process of graceful ageing has lent a gentle warmth that will, no doubt, appeal to the sensibilities of the next owner.

​

Finally, English suffragette Emily Davison, known for her fearless campaigning for votes for women, also evidently possessed a strong sense of style: records indicate that she lived here between 1910 and 1912.
