The price is actually really good. There isn’t a huge amount of work in my opinion, mainly cosmetic. A great location and a wonderful flat. The sheer scale and original details and history is well worth it. I actually like the wall paper in the rooms, haha, they look beautiful and don’t look dated in my opinion. I would keep it as a one bed myself to be honest, if possible. It adds to the grandness of it all and compliments all the original features. Very nice. Thanks for sharing Simon
Fascinating tour Simon! Such a beautiful airy apartment...and what a location! This is what I would do to relocate the kitchen and thereby create that second bedroom: The principal bedroom is over 19ft deep, so I would reduce that depth to at least 12ft by opening up (exposing fully) the beautiful panelled arch feature in the main reception room and pushing that false wall back creating a 7ft+ deep arched recess into which you could install a run of kitchen units. I think that would also re-balance the architectural depth of the reception room and also retain its wonderful rectangular Georgian symmetry.
The apartment/home looks really nice. I like the crown molding there in the living room along with the height of the ceiling. The front balcony/terrace is very!!! Hahaha! You made me smile and laugh in reference to Mary Poppins!! So, yes, I am mature/aged as well with being 59 next month! Hahaha! Furthermore, I see what you said about having the kitchen turned into a bedroom since the bath is back there. Somehow, I think of the primary bedroom an ensuite should be created as well. Those were some thoughts that I had.
It's a great place I like the layout and would just update each room. The living room is huge and it wouldn't take that much work to make it look great again. Thanks for the tour.
I agree with you, I’d out the kitchen into that beautiful room and turn the existing kitchen into the primary bedroom. This is a dream London place . Just image a gorgeous deVol kitchen and open plan living space ❤
If making the kitchen a bedroom I would try and widen the hall way all the way to the terrace and keep it accessible. The second bedroom would be small but still open onto the terrace. Or keep it as one bedroom.
This property is exceptional it deserves a review.. it’s Beautiful original features are a plus. I Agree with your refurbishment ideal, I would like to also widen the hallway which obviously shortens the main bedroom width, However adding a second bedroom gives you the option to do so. My Second thoughts how about turning the original kitchen into a living/ kitchen space if it’s big enough, So to avoid having such a beautiful big terrace through your bedroom, and keep the original living space as is and make it into a grand bedroom.
Wow Simon! What a great video and an amazing property! That will get sold in one day! I am the same as you I can totally see the potential. We love your videos, keep up the great work 👍
hmmm, I would go for a one bedroom layout with the current kitchen as the one bedroom. Remove the wall filling in that gorgeous arch, which is likely not structural, and the hallway wall (given the transom windows, its not structural either) and move the kitchen into the existing bedroom with a living/dining room combo in the front space. Not ideal with the access to the terrace through the one bedroom, but some tidy design will keep that looking nice for the occasional guest visit. As the owner/occupier it would be a very comfortable space to live in.
Well, of course the wall to wall carpeting is pretty hideous as well as being a tripping hazard. Are there hardwoods under that ? The fireplace is so pretty and it would be a shame to remove it. I would hope the new design would preserve the original character. I like the bathroom wall paper too and the tile is ok. That south facing terrace off the kitchen is fantastic and great for entertaining. That probably would be lost if the kitchen was converted into a bedroom. So how about configuring a bedroom/study at the end of the large living room opposite from fireplace end ?
Yes, and the more I look at the space, the more i feel it wouldn't feel righ to change the layout. Keep it as is but with a fabulous makeover. Anyway, it's hopefully exchanging contracts soon with a buyer we've introduced so will be very interesting to see what he does with the place. Hopefully we'll get an invite when it's finished.
Hi Jason, thanks for watching. Yes, all the time, I’ve been a london agent for 29 years and helped many Americans move here, whether it’s buying or renting for the first time.
Agree the sitting room would make a wonderful kitchen/dining/living space. Just not sure about accessing the main terrace through a bedroom. Wonder if someone will be tempted to partition the main room into two bedrooms (12ft x 9ft ish) then knock down the bedroom wall for an open sitting room flowing into the kitchen diner. Whatever, it's going to make a beautiful home.Beautiful square in a great location. A very special find.
Love this idea. It would work well with each bedroom having a gorgeous window onto the balcony. And a cosy open living area (current bedroom wall down as you said) as you come in the front door. It really is a special place.
Shame someone will go in and rip out the fireplaces and original features ! The sitting room should be left great entertaining place , I would have it similar to the Parisian apartments wish I could afford it !!!
I'd turn the kitchen into a bedroom and the bedroom into a kitchen opening up the whole front area as one big living space. Get rid of that horrible passageway with those awful interior windows. I'd carry the curve of the arch creating a curved wall right back to the bedroom and add wood panelling to the curve.

Thanks you for your kind words. Glad you like the tour.
My new favourite channel. Love the casualness of it all.
Great tour thank you. So much potential if only I had the ££££££ ..🤷🏻♀️
Thanks for watching and commenting, I cant afford most of the property I sell. One day.......
Hopefully your RUclips endeavour will assist in that ‘one day’ 😊
@@isotopiary Amen to that! Thank you.

If only walls could talk.
🤣 and floors
Wow! What a wonderful property. And what potential! Thankyou for yet another fascinating video.

Yes and after thinking it through again I do wonder where just a grand one bedroom might be the best way forward 😀
Love watching these from Dallas, Texas!!!
Thank you so much for the feedback. Best wishes from London!
really good property and thanks
Thank you !
What a lovely gentleman.
Its great the way it is...thank you

My only issue: if you turned the good sized kitchen into a bedroom you’d lose use of the terrace as an outdoor dining area.

I love your content! Have you ever worked with Americans buying their first UK property?
Hi Jason, thanks for watching. Yes, all the time, I’ve been a london agent for 29 years and helped many Americans move here, whether it’s buying or renting for the first time.
I was just going to comment that the wallpaper in bathroom does indeed look like William Morris.
I’m so pleased someone felt the same 😄 thanks for watching

Excellent idea. Keep it as open as possible at the front of the apartment. Thanks for your thoughts.
Party's there years back
Oh yes!
