Fitzjames Avenue, London, W14 0RR

Built in the early 1900s and designed by the architect Delissa Joseph, this red-brick mansion building on Fitzjames Avenue is an outstanding example of Edwardian architecture. The penthouse within it offers generous lateral living with timeless elegance. The penthouse occupies the best position in the building. Its south-east aspect brings in sunshine for most of the day, and its two private outdoor spaces sit among the mature trees rising from the communal garden. A lift serves the top floor.

The apartment has been fully renovated throughout in recent years, with meticulous attention to detail by highly regarded builders. The works included upgraded insulation, oak flooring throughout, brand-new double-glazed windows and a reconfigured layout, all while preserving the original period features. Every room is beautifully proportioned, making the home equally suited to working from home and to busy, well-organised family life.

The property comes with an allocated parking space included in the title deeds, at no extra charge. It also includes a private loft with potential to extend the apartment into it (STP), subject to planning permission. Planning permission for a loft conversion was previously granted but now expired.

The building is home to a welcoming community of owners and residents. It is gated, with a weekday porter, so you and your family can feel secure and at ease. Residents range from young couples to long-standing neighbours with fascinating stories to share.

The location gives easy access to the best of West London, including Kensington, Holland Park and Hyde Park. Underground stations are close by and a bus stop is just around the corner. Some of the country's leading private schools are within easy reach, which makes this an ideal home for long-term plans. Richmond Park is a short drive away for weekends outdoors, and Heathrow is conveniently close for international travel. This is a premium building for those who want space, elegance and discretion while staying close to the heart of the city.
