18th March 2007 Print
Property purchasers looking for homes with character and history are being urged to view Berkeley Homes West 3 London Apartments in Acton, W3, where a limited amount of properties remain for sale in their Phase 2 collection.

The former Ministry of Pensions Building, situated on Bromyard Avenue, is being transformed into 350 studios, one and two bedroom apartments and two and three bedroom penthouses and played an important part in history during 1940 to 1945.

Located close to Acton Aerodrome, it served as the headquarters of the Royal Airforce Police during World War II. The unit was responsible for planning and providing protection for all VIP airplane flights including those of HM King George, Winston Churchill and Field Marshall Montgomery.

Many of the original features of the building, designed by James G. West, the Principal Architect of Whitehall, have been retained. Dramatic entrances halls, wide staircases and high ceilings create a unique residence that combines historic and characteristic exteriors with contemporary interiors.

Only two two-bedroom penthouses remain for sale at the development. The penthouses are situated on the sixth storey of the building, which has been built specifically, and boast expansive terraces, characteristic high ceilings and excellent views across the Capital.

There are also two two-bedroom apartments available. All of the properties have been refined to a high specification. Fitted kitchens include Kuppersbuch ovens, hobs, extractor hoods and microwave ovens together with integrated fridge/freezer and porcelain floor tiling. Bathrooms feature Villeroy & Boch white sanitaryware and ceramic wall and floor tiling.

The scheme is situated just a short walk from East Acton Underground Station on the Central line and provides swift and efficient links to the City and West End in under 30 minutes.

Phase 3 of the West 3 London Apartments was launched at the end of February and offers 75 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments that benefit from modern open-plan designs and stunning new specifications. The kitchens boast fitted handle-less units by Rational, full-height gloss and matt splashbacks, complimentary work surfaces and square stainless steel sinks, taps and plinth lights, which gently illuminate floor tiling. Bathrooms feature tumbled marble, porcelain, chrome brassware and square white sanitaryware.

The West 3 London Apartments also boasts four new courtyards that have been created at the centre of the building and offer residents a retreat from hectic London living.

Prices at Phase 2 of the West 3 London Apartments start from £339,950 for a two-bedroom apartment up to £449,950 for a penthouse. Properties in Phase 3 are priced from £275,000 for a one-bedroom apartment and rise to £500,000 for a three-bedroom apartment.
