Shakespeare Road, London

Nestled in the heart of Poets Corner, this characterful and charming end-of-terrace home offers fantastic scope to extend or reconfigure and is being sold chain-free.

The house itself carries its own quiet distinction: it was once home to Brian Baker, a noted fashion designer who made his mark in the creative world of the 1980s, lending the property an artistic lineage.

The house retains charm including a fireplace with the potential to be reinstated, and original 1980s fixtures and fittings. The generous proportions give a sense of space and quiet. There are two double bedrooms plus a loft room that has served as a third bedroom, home office, playroom and workroom — a genuinely flexible space.
A good size upstairs bathroom has a walk-in shower, and there is a practical downstairs WC and utility area. The front and rear gardens are low-maintenance and can be re-designed.

Connectivity is excellent. The Elizabeth Line at Acton Mainline runs east into the city and direct to Heathrow. The Overground connects to Kew Gardens and Hampstead Heath. Acton Central Park a short walk — with pitch and putt and a cocktail café. Churchfield Road is a lovely local strip with independent cafés and restaurants.
