The beautiful double bedroom of 290 square feet (27 square metres) which is right opposite the marble-clad bathroom with lovely fittings and great water pressure plus nice built in drawers for all your toiletries. Full height French windows lead out onto the sunny balcony with nice tables and chairs. Large step-in closet within the room and extra space above / on top for your summer wardrobe / surfboard (!) etc. Plenty of nice extra desks and work chairs available for your own private zone within the huge apartment if you need. Nice linen and towels etc available.

All this space is within the huge shared, elegant 4 bedroom apartment of 1700+ Square feet (160+ Sq metres) in a superb historic, listed building in the very heart of South Kensington.

Located 4 minute's walk from Gloucester Road tube station: the BEST Zone 1 transport hub taking you anywhere such as City financial district (12 minutes), Soho/ Mayfair (8 minutes) etc. Even Kings Cross is within 17 minutes! (District, Circle and Piccadilly lines / multiple buses and cabs night and day). Santander Cycle Rental is 30 seconds walk away.

The apartment is on the first floor / parlor floor / piano nobile / premier etage (Call it what you will: it is one floor above the street level !) in an extremely quiet enclave (no passing cars) just at Southwell Gardens / Cornwall Gardens SW7.

There really is no other London listing quite like this here.

All rooms have beautiful high ceilings and ornate cornices, flooded with light and very quiet. It is like your own nice private mini-studio within a fabulous larger apartment.

You will share the whole flat with 2 or 3 other considerate, charming international people who travel a lot yet treat the place as the home that it is.

South Kensington needs no introduction from us in terms of restaurants, shopping, clubs and numerous bars, cafes and other entertainment. Classy Waitrose supermarket is a 3 minute walk away; ditto a 24 hour Tesco and Full-size Sainsbury's plus numerous charming local boutiques.

The magnificent national museums and galleries such as the Victoria & Albert, Natural History and Science museums are our near neighbours and glorious Hyde Park is a short stroll from our door. London's very best shopping at Harrods, King's Road, Brompton Cross and High Street Kensington along with Notting Hill and Portobello Road are all a pleasant 5, 10 or 15 minute walk or a minute or two in a taxi

-The apartment has an enormous reception room 42 by 15 feet (14m x 5m) with access to the full length balcony terrace through the beautiful French windows.

-High ceilings throughout (4 metres / 13 ft) with charming ornate cornices and plasterwork.

-Two lovely working fireplaces.

-Full high-speed internet access.

-The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with granite worktops, brand new dishwasher , 5-ring gas hob, double oven, microwave, new fridge-freezer, every utensil, Le Creuset pans etc.

-Utility closet with brand new washing machine (and a separate clothes drier if you really need.).

-Your room is currently furnished but is not cluttered with landlord paraphernalia: a bed and side tables / nightstands and lamps and a desk are provided and other things can be swiftly acquired. A flat screen TV monitor for your computer / Netflix etc. is available too. Plenty of nice linen and towels can be provided at move-in.

-Super clean and sanitary. We have recruited a delightful, trustworthy cleaning lady (we share the cost but you can also separately pay to do bits of ironing etc.)

- The entire apartment and bedrooms are very, very quiet and the tree-lined street is away from any passing traffic.

Suitable for professionals and serious students coming to London to work hard during the week but also relax at the weekend, invite friends over and make the best of the best neighbourhood in London. There is a relaxed style here and rooms are big enough to have your own spacious zone completely to yourself and yet we are happy when we overlap to hang out together.

Pets: We love 'em and they can certainly visit, just not be resident!

Smokers: No problem - There is the huge outdoor balcony terrace.

Couples: See "Pets" above! Love ya loads (and do come and visit) but this is best for solo professionals individually. Your guests are always welcome to come and stay.

Do be in touch... if you are reading this renewed listing it means that THE ROOM IS STILL AVAILABLE at the listed date so there is no need to write simply to ask that question.

PLEASE DO NOT WRITE JUST TO ASK IF THE ROOM IS STILL AVAILABLE. (This annoys everyone a dozen times a day)

Instead, please voicemail or drop a note via text or WhatsApp and desired move-in date and do tell a little bit about yourself. Then you can always easily reach us by sharing with us your digits. Our telephone numbers are on the listing.

Contact us here on Spareroom if you really, truly must. [But we apologise for the delay of at least 3 days to answer you via their system] Again: telephone numbers are registered right here on the listing. You might need an "Early Bird" upgrade to see this. PUT YOUR NUMBER in any reply.

Please: DO NOT use the awful Spareroom method if you want an efficient reply. We DO NOT EVEN READ MESSAGES THERE with any speed.

THE TELEPHONE / TEXT / WHATAPP etc IS THE BEST WAY TO ORGANISE THINGS

Thanks so much.

If you are overseas or outside London, then many photographs and video clips of these rooms and the whole apartment are available instantly.

Just send your EMAIL ADDRESS or your TELEPHONE NUMBER with your details. Skype / Zoom tour available too.(Spareroom have a limit of 9 photos on the listings. It is impossible is to send additional, different photos via Spareroom message system, nor any videos at all. PLEASE!! - Do NOT write via Spareroom asking for more photos and videos. It is IMPOSSIBLE to do. (Ask them yourself and complain)

It is of course MUCH better to schedule a visit if you are in town. Simply CALL any of us or send a TEXT to organise your visit or send yours. Every friend who visits wants to move in straight away! We all did!

(I looked at 47 other places before finding this one... I have done the looking for you! )

Greatly looking forward to hearing from you and to showing you around this beautiful place.

Best regards,

Peter :-)

=============================

THE CONDITIONS!:
(Don't worry, we laughed too.)

1- Don't even BOTHER asking us about this place via the hopeless Spareroom messaging system. See all over our writing here for repetition of this. This is the Number One waste of everyone's time.


2 - WhatsApp / Text / Telephone us ONLY. Our verified numbers are clearly visible and available in the relevant “Contact” box on this listing. Spareroom. co. uk FORBID putting telephone numbers and email addresses in the body of this description. (We cannot write our numbers or email addresses right here)

If you have got time to waste, then go ahead and write to us via Spareroom. co. uk messaging system. Without being unpleasant about it, we simply do NOT have time to waste laboriously replying… EVERY MESSAGE SWAP TAKES 3 days. This is not too much to ask.


3 - Please, please, please do not communicate merely to ask whether the room is still available. If you are seeing this listing it means that the room is available at the date listed. Simple, right?


4 - This description of the beautiful apartment approaches 2,000 words in length. Spareroom staff have told us that it is one of the best and most descriptive and helpful listings on this entire website. We are very happy to tell you even more about it and about us, the people who live here. PLEASE: Do not ask us these questions if you do not TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOURSELF. That's basic courtesy and friendliness, which are hallmarks of this house.


5 - If you are any kind of AGENT then just give up now. Go and annoy someone else. There are no “professional fees” attached to our flatmates moving in to share this place.
