Flat for rent near Portobello Road

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Read more at: http://www.andrewfox.co.uk/29cc/

This much loved flat in Notting Hill is being rented out. It has a great reception, a bay-fronted master bedroom, second bedroom (perfect as a study), bathroom, kitchen and roof terrace. The building recently been painted, and the interior has been recently renovated.

Cornwall Crescent is incredibly handy. The flat is about 2 minutes away from Ladbroke Grove tube station, and 4 minutes fromPortobello Road, featuring the shops, great restaurants, clubs, cinema, bars and, of course, the market. If you are heading into the town centre, you can be at Oxford Circus in 20 minutes (via Notting Hill tube), or at Kings Cross in 25 minutes. I’ve personally evenwalked into town many times, via the canal or Hyde Park. There is even an Virgin Active gym about 1 minute away. Overall, it’s simply one of the very best areas of London to live in.

The cost is £1300.00 per month, and will be available from mid-December.

Contact Andrew Fox on 07931 543 556 or andrewjffox@gmail.com to find out more.
