Acton
The Courtyard Apartments is a collection of one-bedroom live/work units at the heart of the West 3 development. Each property boasts an official live/work room with en suite facilities, as well as superlative living space and two outdoor areas. The biggest live/work apartments enjoy open plan living/cooking/dining areas of nearly 500 square feet, with a generous bedroom, en suite, guest bathroom and workspace that is totally separate from the main part of the apartment.
Complementing the flexible live/work space is the main body of the apartment, which is designed to make a bold statement with 10-foot high ceilings. Key to the open plan space is a fully fitted kitchen, with each apartment benefiting from an individually designed layout.
The sleek and streamlined look is continued in the en suite and guest bathroom, with WCs and sinks from the Ideal Standard White collection; stainless steel ladder-style heated towel rails, mirrored and shelved cabinets with feature lighting and shaver socket, and large format tiles to the walls and floors.
Also as standard are fitted wardrobes with shelves and hanging rails to the bedroom, ample linen cupboards with sliding mirror doors, a video entry system viewed via a purchaser’s personal TV, and TV/telephone/data points to the living area and bedroom.
Prices for The Courtyard Apartments start from £420,000 and rise to £465,000. For further information or to view the latest show apartments contact the sales and marketing suite on 020 8811 2336.
