West London estate agents Finlay Brewer have launched a two-bedroom apartment in one of London’s oldest mansion blocks – Granville Mansions. The stylist, lateral apartment, which occupies number 23 Granville Mansions, has been refurbished to exacting standards and features two double bedrooms, a large open-plan full width reception, and a separate kitchen/breakfast room. The apartment is for sale at a guide price of £850,000.

Granville Mansions was built in 1897 and was one of the first ever purpose-built mansion blocks in London. In it’s early days, the mansion block was unlike any other residential offering in London at the time and was the epitome of Victorian luxury living.

Granville Mansions comprises only 20 apartments with Apartment 23 being numbered as such because of Victorian superstition associated with the number 13. The apartment is nestled in-between apartments 12 and 14 on the 4th floor of the Victorian mansion block and sits in place of number 13. According to Victorian tradition and superstition, this would have been the luckiest apartment to live in.

Residents of 23 Granville Mansions will benefit from lift access to their apartment on the fourth floor. The apartment itself provides 1,073 sq. f.t of excellent living/entertaining space which has been decorated by the current owners creating a bright and contemporary space. With state-of-the-art features such as stunning De Gournay wallpaper and integrated appliances, the apartment still retains original Victorian period features including the fireplace and bay windows in the reception with far-reaching westerly views.

The mansion block’s common areas have also recently undergone refurbishment (finished in April 2022) and the building is secured by CCTV cameras as well as video entry phones for each apartment.

Debbie McFayden, Head of Sales at Finlay Brewer commented: “23 Granville Mansions provides an excellent opportunity for a purchaser looking to live in a secure, highly sought-after mansion block in the heart of West London, close to Shepherd’s Bush, Holland Park, Notting Hill and Kensington. This elegant contemporary apartment has been refurbished to an exacting standard whilst retaining beautiful period features creating a highly attractive two-bedroom home.”

23 Granville Mansions is moments from the leisure and entertaining facilities of Westfield London, Kensington and Notting Hill. Nearby parks provide access to outdoor space on Shepherd’s Bush Green, Brook Green, Holland Park and Ravenscourt Park. Residents will also benefit from excellent transport links from Shepherd’s Bush including both the Overground and Central Line, as well as easy access to the M4 for travel to Heathrow.
