This impressive six bedroom detached Mock Tudor style property nestles in a wide plot on the prestigious Knighton estate, backs onto Knighton Forest. Originally built in the 1930s, at the height of the Art Deco period, it has been extended by the current owners but still retains some delightful original external and internal features. There is much potential for this house to be updated and for another family to put their own stamp on it and make it their own.

With its varied roof lines, black and white features, high chimneystacks, leaded light windows and impressive brick pillared entrance, it has enormous kerb appeal. The house is accessed via an ‘in-and-out' carriage driveway that leads to the integral garage and period front door. Once inside you can enjoy the original features such as picture rails and fireplaces as well as the stunning entrance hall, with its beautiful wood panelled walls and panelled staircase, that leads to all the rooms on the ground floor. There is a well-proportioned, bright dual aspect sitting room with an impressive brick surround fireplace as a focal point.

A good sized office is located just inside the front door, adjacent to the cloakroom. The spacious kitchen/breakfast room includes modern accoutrements such as inset ceiling lights, tiled flooring, attractive kitchen units and a contemporary range style cooker as well as integral and stand-alone appliances including a fridge freezer and a dishwasher. There is also a conservatory style rear porch and a large utility room with laundry facilities and an integrated fridge.

The impressive staircase, with its half height wood panelling, leads to a spacious galleried landing. Here you will find the fascinating bathroom, that still retains the Art Deco features of the 1930s with its original wall tiling and sculptured bath, as well as a separate toilet and six double bedrooms. Two of these are dual aspect with fitted cupboards and en-suite shower rooms, another two have a partially vaulted ceiling and there is also plenty of eaves storage.

The well-maintained rear garden is long and includes a back gate that opens directly onto Knighton Forest (for which you pay the Corporation of London £25 a year) and a large lawn where the kids can kick a ball around or play with the dog. It is bordered by flower and shrub beds with a backdrop of beautiful trees at the edge of the forest. There is also a terrace that spans the width of the property and a breezeblock shed.

What the Owner says:
This has been our family home for over 40 years and it has been a wonderful place to bring up our three sons, but it is now time to move to something smaller. The size of the plot and the overall character of the house, together with the excellent location and the ability to walk straight out of the back gate into Knighton Forest, is what initially appealed to us. During our time here we have added the study, utility room and two bedrooms that have provided the extra space needed for our extended family.
