A four-bedroom family townhouse is for sale on the site of the former Virgin Studios where Elton John famously recorded the fastest-selling single of all time, ‘Candle in The Wind’ as a tribute to Princess Diana.

The 2,000 sq ft townhouse is for sale for £1,895,000, via Dexters.

The state-of-the-art house is set over four floors and comprises four en-suite bedrooms, two reception rooms and an open-plan kitchen/dining area, with its own quiet courtyard, terrace and private roof terrace.

A magnificent open-plan kitchen/dining and reception room are located on the ground floor. The unusually high ceilings let in a lot of natural light and there are bi-folding doors that lead to the landscaped courtyard garden and span the width of the house.

A striking built-in library bookcase with a sliding ladder takes up the entire floor-to-ceiling wall. The contemporary feel of the house is enhanced by the designer kitchen's breakfast bar and integrated appliances. On this level, there is also a guest cloakroom and a utility room.

The first floor has its own entrance and features a second galleried reception room with a view of the ground floor. To get there, there is a stylish wooden and glass staircase suspended above the floor. A guest bedroom with its own bathroom and walk-in closet is located behind this living room.

The subsequent floor has one more room suite with an enormous walk-in closet and restroom, complete with double sinks and patio access. On the third floor, there are two more bedrooms, both of which have their own bathrooms. Up the final flight of stairs, there is a charming roof terrace with great views of West London's rooftops.

The house has underfloor heating throughout.

The townhouse on St. Stephen's Avenue is ideal for sociable families who love to entertain.

Georgia Buckley, Director at Dexters Shepherds Bush commented: “The extraordinary history of this now-modern family home not only adds character and flare, but means you could be sleeping in the same room that the Sex Pistols once performed in. With a blend of Victorian and modern properties scattered all over Shepherd’s Bush, the style of Townhouse Mews creates a generous amount of space and is an ideal property for families who want to embrace all the diversity that London has to offer, but with a subtle suburban charm.”

The townhouse is for sale with an asking price of £1,895,000. For more information or to arrange a viewing please contact Dexters Shepherds Bush on Tel: 020 8740 2900.
