Elegant quality apartment in fashionable Little Chelsea - sleeps 2/3.  Map

This elegant, typically English, flat is situated in Little Chelsea, between the fashionable King's Road and that stretch of The Fulham Road locally known as "the beach" - where the In-crowd come "surfing" for the many good restaurants, bars, cafés and upmarket convenience stores!

Little Chelsea is popular with celebrities - Hugh Grant, who lives locally, is often seen in the neighbourhood shops.

Your nearest tube station, within 10 minutes walk, is Fulham Broadway (District line) though not much further and probable more convenient is South Kensington ( District, Circle and Piccadilly lines).

Fernshaw Road is very quiet, it's completely shielded from the noise of the two busy roads it lies between and has no though traffic. The flat is on the ground floor of an elegant, high ceilinged, early Victorian building. It's beautifully presented and furnished in classic English style: original paintings, drawings and watercolours on the walls, antique furniture, fine curtains etc.etc. It sleeps 2 people in a double bedroom and a third can be accommodated on a good fold-away bed which can be put in the dining room (effectively making a second bedroom) or the drawing room.

The entrance door opens onto a small hallway with engraved family portraits on the walls. The comfortable (19ft9 x 14ft6, 6m x 4.4m) drawing room has a 3 seater sofa, two arm-chairs as well side tables with lamps, a TV (hidden when not in use) and a gas coal-effect fire - very cosy in winter.

Next door is the dining room, it's quite narrow (12ft6 x 6ft, 3.75m x 1.8m) but seats 6 comfortably, 8 at a squeeze. The kitchen has all the expected appliances including a microwave, dishwasher and washer dryer. It overlooks the garden (no access) at the rear of the house.

The bedroom has a large (6ft) double bed and also overlooks the gardens at the back of the house. There's good cupboard and storage space. The good-sized bathroom is carpeted and has bath with hand/over shower, basin, bidet and loo.

Both the King's Road and the Fulham Road abound with good restaurants, nice pubs, and places with character. In nearby Hollywood Road (3 mins walk) you can have a glass of wine in the charming gardens of The Wine Gallery - excellent selection of wine at virtually retail prices and browse their collection of paintings for sale by London artists. Follow this with a meal at Glaister's Garden Bistro just opposite or the ever-popular Brinkley's restaurant. Slightly further a field try Langan's Coq d'Or, owned by Michael Caine or The Troubadour, a wonderful old bohemian café/bar and a hang out of Bob Dylan and Jimmy Hendrix in the 60s - drop in and catch some live jazz or poetry reading!

This is a No Smoking property.
