A Grand Period Block Being Repositioned as Premium Co-Living
Alexandra Mansions is a rare double-fronted period mansion block in the heart of Shepherd's Bush — currently being developed into a boutique Premium Co-Living scheme. The entire freehold is available, offering an investor the opportunity to acquire a fully-designed, architecturally-planned project at an advanced stage.
The property currently comprises four self-contained apartments across lower ground, ground, first and second floors. Subject to HMO licensing, planning and fire safety compliance, the building will be reconfigured as a unified co-living scheme with high-specification ensuite rooms on the upper floors and a retained premium apartment at lower ground level.
The scheme is designed to appeal to young professionals, postgraduates and international residents who value quality, privacy and a well-managed communal environment in central West London. Shepherd's Bush offers exceptional connectivity — Central line direct to the West End, Westfield London, the BBC Television Centre development, and a vibrant local neighbourhood.
Ensuite Rooms — Designed for Modern Co-Living
Where permitted by HMO licensing requirements, each room will be specified to a standard that closely resembles modern purpose-built co-living accommodation, including:
Private Ensuite Bathroom
Fully fitted ensuite to each room. A key differentiator from standard HMO stock.
Dedicated Study / Work Area
Built-in desk and shelving. Suitable for professionals and postgraduates working from home.
Mini Fridge & Private Sink
In-room convenience reducing reliance on communal kitchen facilities.
Large Wardrobe & Storage
Generous storage throughout — full-height wardrobes and additional storage solutions in every room.
High-Speed WiFi
Full-building high-speed broadband infrastructure included in accommodation package.
Durable, Low-Maintenance Finishes
Specified for longevity and ease of management across all rooms and communal areas.
Shared Spaces & Kitchen Provision
The scheme will provide a minimum of two kitchen areas — a main communal kitchen and dining area, supplemented by kitchenettes serving the upper floors. Kitchenettes will include sink, microwave, kettle, toaster, fridge, storage cupboards and worktop space. Final kitchen arrangement subject to licensing and fire safety requirements.
A dedicated communal lounge and recreation area is included in the scheme, with a large dining table, study space and social area. Laundry facilities will be provided (2–3 machines on a token, card or app-operated system).
Two Kitchen Areas
Main communal kitchen/dining room plus upper-floor kitchenettes.
Communal Lounge & Study
Dedicated social and study space. Optional table football and recreation area.
Laundry Facilities
2–3 machines, app or card-operated. Managed separately from rent.
Secure, Professionally Managed
Full building managed under a professional management service agreement.
Projected Income — Student Accommodation
Based on current market conditions and comparable student accommodation schemes in London, CHAMPS UK have provided the following indicative rental ranges. Final achievable rents will depend on room sizes, facilities, finish and market conditions at the time of letting.
A detailed room-by-room rental assessment and projected annual income forecast will be available once the final floor plan and room schedule are confirmed. A full investment pack and projections are available to qualified purchasers on request.
Existing Four Apartments (Pre-Development)
The building currently comprises four self-contained apartments, all previously let on Assured Shorthold Tenancies. These form the baseline from which the co-living scheme will be developed, subject to HMO licensing, planning permission and fire safety compliance.
Current gross annual income pre-development: £98,800. All recommendations are subject to HMO Licence requirements, planning permission, fire safety regulations, lender requirements and local authority approval.
Shepherd's Bush, W12 — Prime West London
Stanlake Road sits in the heart of Shepherd's Bush, one of West London's most connected and dynamic neighbourhoods.

The property is moments from Westfield London (Europe's largest urban shopping centre), the BBC Television Centre development — home to Soho House, boutique hotel and over 900 homes — and an increasingly vibrant local restaurant and cultural scene.
