Lime Grove, London, W12

Plenty Of Famous Names Have Popped In For A Cuppa, Now's Your Chance To Call It Home. Once part of the BBC, this Victorian family home now blends vintage space and style with luxurious modern design - and a school on the doorstep just voted “Best in the UK”

It’s not often you find a home that wraps up so many London wish-list items in one bold red-brick package.

Historic charm? Absolutely.

A location that nails both the school run and Soho House catch-ups? Spot on.

And inside, a design spec that’s as thoughtful as it is luxurious - from 24-carat gold bathroom tiles to Lutron lighting and Fired Earth finishes.

This house has stories in its walls - quite literally. From the 1950’s until the early 1990’s, it served as part of the BBC’s Lime Grove Studios complex, welcoming a roll call of producers, writers and well known performers through its door.

That rich creative legacy still lingers in the air.

Step through the tiled entrance hall and into a double reception room with high ceilings, original cornicing and a grand bay window - the kind of space that feels made for Sunday papers, birthday balloons and winter evenings.

Move on through to the kitchen, and you’ll find Italian Travertino stone underfoot, Fired Earth cabinetry, aged brass pendant lights and bespoke glass doors that slide open at the touch of a button.

The first floor is home to the main bedroom, with generous fitted storage and a second bay window welcoming in the light.

Two further bedrooms sit alongside a beautifully crafted Hammam-style bathroom, with hand-glazed Italian marble tiles, antique wood detailing and underfloor heating.

Even the separate cloakroom has had the luxury treatment - handmade tiles, bespoke fixtures and fittings, and impeccable design.

Up on the second floor, two more bedrooms await - perfect for growing families, guests or a home office.

Plus there’s a second bathroom also finished in showstopping style: 24-carat gold floor tiles from Bisazza, marble-effect porcelain from Chelsea Design Centre and fittings in gold from Grohe. There’s Sonos sound, underfloor heating and a wall-to-wall wow factor.

Practicality hasn’t been forgotten either. A separate basement utility space houses the washing machine and dryer.

There’s a full CCTV and alarm system, a Ring doorbell, mood lighting you can control from your phone, and built-in Sonos speakers across several rooms.

Even the radiators are custom cast iron - Paladin craftsmanship designed to be seen.

Outside, the private landscaped garden offers a calm, green spot to unwind, entertain or just enjoy a break from city life.

If you’re looking for a long-term family home, this five bedroom Victorian red brick delivers both heart and head appeal.

You’re never far from the action: Soho House, the Hoxton, Westfield and White City’s growing development scene are all close by.

Commuters will love the convenience too. The Central and Hammersmith & City lines are within easy reach, meaning you can hit the shops on Bond Street in less than 15 minutes or continue on to Bank or Canary Wharf in around half an hour.

Heading West out of London by car is so easy and Heathrow is 30 minutes in light traffic.

And families with younger children won’t find a better school catchment as the “Outstanding” St Stephen’s Primary School - recently crowned Best Primary School in the 2024 TES Awards - is just across the street.

So if you’re after that rare mix of heritage, high-spec finish and a postcode with creative roots and family focus - you’ve just found it.
