Why have one terrace when you can have four? One (with wine store) on the lower ground floor, leading straight from the kitchen/dining room that runs the whole length of the house; one – a proper suntrap – leading from the main reception room on the ground floor, ready for the party to spill out into the evening air; one on the first floor, a hideaway terrace, for some quiet time away from the frenzy of the house; and one on the roof, with wind-out awning, a place of picnics and sandpits. All of them providing fresh air without having to leave the house.

This wonderful family house in Blenheim Crescent, W11, has plenty of space, laid out over four floors, and with the extra rooms that make life so much easier – a laundry room, steam room, wine store, and utility room; and all the four bedrooms are huge.

The property lies on the dividing line between cosmopolitan Notting Hill and smart Holland Park. Blenheim Crescent was the real home of the Travel Bookshop on which William Thacker's shop in the Richard Curtis film Notting Hill was based. And just up the road, number 9 Blenheim Crescent was the 50s Caribbean café Totobag's and was one of the main flashpoints of the 1958 Notting Hill race riots.

Highlights of Blenheim Crescent today include Pescheria Mattiucci, an Italian restaurant serving fresh line-caught fish, brought from Italy to Notting Hill within the day. And at number 4, the famous Books for Cooks, 'crammed with thousands of tasty titles and equipped with a squashy sofa for cookbook junkies in need of a long read'.

Nick Crayson says, “This is a gem of a family home in an uber-cool street. Working on the premise that if the mother is happy, the family is happy, this house is probably part of Relate's guide to saving your marriage.”

Crayson is quoting a guide price of £4.75m for the freehold.

Beijing - US officials say the search area for a Malaysia Airlines plane with 239 people aboard that has disappeared for almost a week, may expand to the Indian Ocean.

"It is my understanding that one possible piece of information or collection -- pieces of information has led to the possibility that a new area -- a search area may be opened in the Indian Ocean," White House Press Secretary Jay Carney told reporters on Thursday.

Carney did not specify what the new information was and Malaysian officials have not commented on his words.

The Boeing 777-200 vanished off the civilian radar screen about one hour after it took off in Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 0:41am (1641GMT) on Saturday. It was due to land in Beijing at 6:30am (2230GMT).

A CNN report quoted a senior US official as saying that Malaysian authorities believe they have several "pings" from the airliner's service data system, known as ACARS, transmitted to satellites in the four or five hours after the last transponder signal, suggesting the plane flew to the Indian Ocean.

That information combined with known radar data and knowledge of fuel range leads officials to believe the plane may have made it to that ocean, which is in the opposite direction of its original route, the official said.

This new information led to a decision to move the USS Kidd into the Indian Ocean to begin searching that area, the official added.

CNN quoted William Marks, commander of the US 7th Fleet, as saying that the Navy destroyer is moving westward into the Strait of Malacca at the request of the Malaysian government.

Marks also told CNN that searching such a wide area would not be easy, as moving into the Indian Ocean is like going "from a chess board to a football field."

The Associated Press on Friday quoted a US official as saying the plane sent signals to a satellite for four hours after it went missing, indicating that it was still flying for hundreds of miles or more.

The aircraft was not transmitting data to the satellite, but was instead sending out a signal to establish contact, the report quoted the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Malaysia Airlines did not subscribe to that service, but the plane was able to connect with the satellite and was automatically sending pings, the official said.

"It's like when your cellphone is off but it still sends out a little 'I'm here' message to the cellphone network. That's how sometimes they can triangulate your position even though you're not calling because the phone every so often sends out a little bleep. That's sort of what this thing was doing,” the official said.

Messages involving a different, more rudimentary data service also were received from the airliner for a short time after the plane's transponder -- a device used to identify the plane to radar -- went silent, the official said.

If the plane had disintegrated during flight or had suffered some other catastrophic failure, all signals --the pings to the satellite, the data messages and the transponder -- would be expected to stop at the same time, the report said.

A Reuters report quoted two sources close to US investigation as saying that the system transmits such pings about once an hour and five or six were heard.

But the sources added the pings alone cannot prove that the plane was in the air or on the ground.

Boeing and Rolls-Royce, which supplied its Trent engines, declined to comment.

Malaysian authorities on Thursday denied news reports that the plane may have continued flying for some time after last contact, saying these reports are "inaccurate."

More than 80 ships and planes from at least 12 contributors are now combing the waters on both sides of the Malaysian peninsula to locate the missing plane.

One part of the hunt is in the South China Sea, where the aircraft was seen on civilian radar flying northeast before vanishing without any indication of technical problems.

A similar-sized search is also being conducted in the Strait of Malacca because of military radar sightings that might indicate the plane turned in that direction after its last contact, passing over the Malay Peninsula.

The total search area being covered is about 35 800 square miles (92 600 square km) -- about the size of Portugal, according to the AP report.

On board the plane were 154 Chinese, including one from Taiwan and one infant.

Chinese forces, including eight vessels and five helicopters, have covered 45 763 sq km as of 12am on Thursday, after continuous searching for 100 hours in South China Sea, according to China Maritime Search and Rescue Centre.

Meanwhile, Chinese merchant ships are traveling in the Strait of Malacca and will help provide assistance. – SAnews.gov.za-Xinhua
