London property of the week
This week's London property is a former violin factory in SW6


A former violin factory which was then converted into an artists' studio before being turned into a three bedroom house has been launched on the market.
The double height reception room enjoys a floor to ceiling window, from which there is an elegant staircase leading up to three double bedrooms plus a gallery office over looking the reception room below.
The property has a private patio garden as well as access to delightful communal gardens.
The house lies just on the border of Chelsea and Fulham, close to the Brompton Cemetary and the Stamford Bridge football ground. £1,195,000 through Marsh & Parsons (020 7736 9822)
Exquisite houses, the beauty of Nature, and how to get the most from your life, straight to your inbox.
Country Life is unlike any other magazine: the only glossy weekly on the newsstand and the only magazine that has been guest-edited by His Majesty The King not once, but twice. It is a celebration of modern rural life and all its diverse joys and pleasures — that was first published in Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee year. Our eclectic mixture of witty and informative content — from the most up-to-date property news and commentary and a coveted glimpse inside some of the UK's best houses and gardens, to gardening, the arts and interior design, written by experts in their field — still cannot be found in print or online, anywhere else.
