Homes in Hammersmith
Hammersmith has a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mansion blocks around Brook Green, and Georgian riverside houses along Upper and Lower Mall. Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith Grove have substantial period houses, many of which have been converted into flats.
The riverside is in a flood zone protected by Thames defences, and older houses close to the river can have damp issues. The Hammersmith Flyover and the busy A4 make traffic noise and air quality a factor for homes nearby. Many houses in Brackenbury Village, a pocket of small Victorian terraces, have been extended into the loft or to the rear. Prices are high, and buyers often face complex lease and approval questions on conversions.
Areas we cover include Hammersmith, Brook Green, Ravenscourt Park, Hammersmith Grove, Riverside.
