The ‘Back to School’ feeling at this time of year never really goes away. No matter how long ago you left your school days behind, September’s all about saying goodbye to summer frivolity and starting to take things (marginally) more seriously again.
To celebrate the arrival of January’s less depressing counterpart we’ve put together a selection of properties built for reading: perfect motivation for hitting the books whatever your age.
Boasting a fascinating history as Marie Rambert’s ballet studio in the 1920s, this truly unique Grade II
listed maisonette features a mezzanine library that overlooks a magnificent 40 ft open-plan entertaining space.
This beautiful, double-fronted family home is abundant in space, benefitting from a study above the garage, and a separate family room where you can pick your favourite book from the shelf and get cosy in the window seat.
Arranged over two floors of an imposing Grade II listed building, this apartment features three bedrooms and a 58 ft private garden. Musicians can find endless inspiration in the study or the reception room, where they can compose a masterpiece.
Located in the heart of Maida Hill, this four-bedroom apartment has been extensively refurbished and comprises three storeys, two private courtyards, and an impressive open-plan entertaining space with a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf system.
This contemporary apartment is located on a tree-lined street on the Ladbroke Estate. Bibliophiles can take their collections and spread out in the spacious reception and dining room, that leads directly out to a private westerly garden.
If any of these properties take your fancy, be sure to let us know. Books not your thing? We have plenty of library-free properties for sale and to let across London.
