Rare Garden

This outstanding Victorian family house with 55′ SW-facing garden was the subject of an exceptional programme of redevelopment in recent years, including extensions to the top floor, ground floor and basement and is offered in excellent condition throughout. A combination of meticulous attention to detail and layout, coupled with jaw-dropping design and finishes has resulted in a superb contemporary home of 2500 square feet in a highly sought-after location.

The house has been beautifully styled and equipped for modern living with high-tech wiring, security, heating and lighting (inc Lutron) solutions throughout. It offers a spacious and elegant open-plan living/entertaining area on the ground floor, a luxurious ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms plus practical touches like a generous utility room, good storage and a handy ground floor cloakroom/WC.

The converted basement is outstanding and provides lots of flexibility for the largest room can be used as a cinema room, home office (as has built-in, concealable desk and cupboards) or playroom. Equally it can serve as an excellent 5th /guest bedroom with shower room/WC alongside. There is also a great utility room and further storage on this floor.

But the real magic occurs at the rear of the ground floor where the superb kitchen/family area (fitted with sleek Liecht kitchen) has been extended sideways and backwards. This has created a substantial and incredibly light informal space opening onto the beautifully sunny, landscaped rear garden with a lawn the rest of us only dream about. Between the commons, the rarity of gardens like this one cannot be overstated. Bar a couple of exceptions, they exist only on a quarter of this one street and as these also back onto large gardens behind, you could be fooled into thinking you weren’t in London at all – which couldn’t be further from the truth. With its highly popular state and private schools on the doorstep, green spaces galore, fashionable Northcote and Bellevue Roads just a stroll away and excellent train/tube links to The City/West End nearby, this wonderful residential area has become a magnet for young families and professionals alike.
