Belsize Avenue, London

Offering a handsome period styled building, The Porticos was redeveloped circa 30 years ago by an award winning development company Chalgrove Properties Limited. Two pairs of substantial Victorian residences were originally built by William Willett in the early 1870's. After the redevelopment, Chalgrove chose to replicate the build to as near to the original facades as it was possible to provide an attractive terrace, sympathetic of the street's architecture, and set back from the main avenue itself on a private road. The valuable addition of a large underground parking garage accessed by a lift from inside the block provides a much sought after feature. This first floor home provides 2/3 bedrooms, 1/2 reception rooms and 2 bathrooms and offers excellent proportioned rooms with views both to the front and rear aspects. The sizeable roof terrace accessed directly from the reception room overlooks the rear gardens whilst enjoying the afternoon and evening sunlight. The interior of the flat offers excellent space to include a double reception room spanning the full width of the apartment providing amazing entertaining apace for friends and family gatherings, 2 bathrooms (1 en-suite) and a separate kitchen with plenty of space to cook and socialise.The neutral colour tone decoration throughout is well presented and would only be further enhanced with a cosmetic redecoration. Featuring a wonderful village lifestyle, the apartment could not be more conveniently located.
