Magnificent double fronted detached family house
with a stunning landscaped garden plus off street parking.


Description

Built circa 1835, and owned by the same family for over 23 years, this elegant pair of Grade II listed stucco fronted villas were passionately restored with close consultation of English Heritage to create a unique double fronted laterally arranged family house.

The house is sympathetically and beautifully presented combining stunning Georgian period features with up-to-date style. The successful layout has been thoughtfully designed to provide well-proportioned living space.

The house is set back from the road behind solid iron railings and a gorgeous lavender hedge spanning across the front of the property. The ground floor comprises a fabulous solid cherrywood library / office with a hidden bookcase door to connect the rooms and a Chesney fireplace, which are copies of the originals. There is a very useful boot room with lavish storage plus a cloakroom. This leads through to a large utility room with door to garden.

The beautiful Marston and Langinger hardwood conservatory provides an abundance of natural light to flow into the central part of the house and opens to the garden.

The private secluded landscaped garden was designed by Darren Hawkes, a Chelsea gold medal winner with mature mulberries, silver birch, beech and whitebeams. Many of the plants are purple, green, blue and white creating a calm woodland garden feel.

The oak hand crafted kitchen is generous in size with a stylish flame textured granite. This leads through to beautiful double reception room both of which have Chesney fireplaces.
The room can be split into two rooms via sandblasted quadruple folding doors showing the road in 1830, 1835, 1912 and 1998.

Access to the first floor is provided by two staircases to both sides of the house. There is a charming main bedroom with a large dressing room designed by Colin Livesey leading to the en suite bathroom. There are a further five bedrooms, a family bathroom and shower room creating splendid family space.
The entirety of the loft is boarded for enormously useful storage.

The interior of the house maintains many original features, including original wide floor boards, sash windows with original glass, Edwardian fireplaces and original shutters on front windows - all lovingly restored by the owners.
Planning permission has recently expired (April 2021) to extend the house on both levels.
