London property: Look inside former aircraft factory transformed into stunning home
This one-of-a-kind property comes with a yoga studio, photo room, and two tropical roof terraces.
The term ‘dream home’ gets bandied around quite a lot these days, especially in London, but we’re here to show you a property that is truly unlike any other.
Part penthouse, part workspace, this former aircraft factory has been transformed into a property worthy of Grand Designs.
Located just moments from Cricklewood/Willesden Stations, this unique property is on the market with Purplebricks for £5,350,000. While that seems like a hefty sum (even for London), we think this place is worth every single penny.
The property has a gated private drive, with a stunning landscaped courtyard and ample off-street parking for half a dozen cars.
On the ground floor, there is a Live Work unit currently used as a yoga studio with two ancillary bedrooms and bathrooms. Strike a pose, because adjacent to this is a duplex studio used for photo shoots.
The five-bedroom, four-bathroom penthouse provides contemporary, sublime finishes, with underfloor heating and two south-facing tropical roof terraces, with the second-floor terrace having potential for a 6m x 4m swimming pool.
The property is conveniently located within easy access of Cricklewood station, providing excellent Thameslink connections into King's Cross (3 stops) and Farringdon (4 stops), as well as Dollis Hill and Willesden Green stations, just to the south, for underground connections via the Jubilee line (7 stops to Bond Street).
Numerous bus routes operate within 400 metres of the site, including route 16 (which goes directly to Westminster) and the 332 (which travels through Maida Vale to Paddington).
The beautiful Gladstone Park is just a short stroll away with walled gardens, tennis courts and a cafe. Both Queens Park and Hampstead Heath are approximately 2 miles or 12 minutes by car.
So, how much would it cost to own a home like this?
The property is nearly 10 times the price of the average London home at £561,587 – and nearly 20 times that of the average UK house price at £270,000.
Assuming an average deposit of 20% - an eye-watering £1,070,000 – a buyer hoping to pay for this property with a typical mortgage would face forking out £23,316 a month over a typical 25-year period at a rate of 4.2%, according to an online calculator from Purplebricks Mortgages.
