Whether its buying, selling or even relocating and looking to find your perfect rental home, dealing with property can be a time consuming and stressful issue. Looking in Prime central London can bring up even more challenges, with a fast-moving property market where knowledge is key. So how can you be first in line when a rare-in-demand home becomes available? Off market has become a buzz word in the industry, where premium homes never reach the mass market due to a private sale or where a house is sold so quickly that it never reaches estate agents’ windows. With so much prime real estate changing hands in a discreet manner, off-market is ideal for those in the public eye, but also means a trusted advisor and expert is needed on hand to advise and produce the prime real estate desired.
Situated just a short distance from Chelsea, INHOUS was launched in 2012 by co-founders David Johnson and Gillian Shubotham, who have over 20 years combined experience in the business.

One such property is a spectacular and unique Gothic Revival house boasting stunning architectural details. It offers maximum privacy, suitable for buyers looking for the elusive combination of a haven of tranquillity in a central London location. Ideally situated for the excellent shops, restaurants and facilities within reach at Fulham Broadway and in Chelsea, Old St James’s Vicarage is truly one of the most unique and memorable houses in Fulham. A light filled and spacious entrance hall with bespoke plasterwork leads through to an elegant double drawing room with a magnificent Gothic fireplace and a working open fire. At garden level a superb multi use living and dining space with full length French windows leads out to a generous outside space. A breath-taking elliptical, stone staircase anchors the house, complementing the Gothic arch windows that line the central turret, whilst an impressive media/games room opens onto a private courtyard. A studio flat and expansive garage gives an expansive feel to this extensive property.
Currently on the market with a guide price of £8.5 million, this property offers complete privacy.
