HAMMERSMITH AREA GUIDE


HAMMERSMITH<br />

HAMMERSMITH ESTATE AGENTS<br />

<strong>Douglas</strong> & <strong>Gordon</strong>’s newest central London<br />

office can be found on Glenthorne Road in<br />

<strong>Hammersmith</strong> – formerly home <strong>to</strong> Roys<strong>to</strong>n<br />

estate agents. This agency covers Shepherd's<br />

Bush and <strong>Hammersmith</strong> property around the<br />

West London area; most properties are<br />

currently available in the Brackenbury Village<br />

district. Food lovers will feel right at home in<br />

<strong>Hammersmith</strong>, where they’ll find traditional<br />

butchers, delis and first-rate gastro-pubs. Our<br />

estate agents say that the weekend farmers’<br />

market and excellent Thai restaurants on King<br />

Street are also popular local attractions.<br />

Our <strong>Hammersmith</strong> estate agents will tell you<br />

that for many years now, <strong>Hammersmith</strong><br />

property has been underrated, with property<br />

seekers preferring <strong>to</strong> buy in Holland Park and<br />

Fulham. Lately however, property for sale in<br />

<strong>Hammersmith</strong>has grown in popularity, with<br />

more buyers enjoying the benefits of the<br />

area’s excellent transport links. These include<br />

three Tube lines right across the capital, and<br />

easily accessible routes out of London.<br />

The W6 district boasts significantly<br />

lower London property prices than<br />

neighbouring areas, which means our<br />

innovative estate agents can help growing<br />

families trade up and get better value for<br />

money with a larger house for sale in<br />

<strong>Hammersmith</strong>. Local sales manager Henriette<br />

Redgrave says that residents often trade up<br />

from areas like Holland Park and Notting Hill.<br />

They are “pleasantly surprised by the village<br />

atmosphere and quality of the property they<br />

find here” says Henriette. Ravenscourt Park is<br />

another popular <strong>Hammersmith</strong> attraction, with<br />

a teashop and rose garden, and young<br />

families will appreciate the good local schools<br />

closer <strong>to</strong> their <strong>Hammersmith</strong> properties.<br />
