Description
Tucked away behind a gated gravelled driveway is the enchanting Emery House. Originally a cottage surrounded by market gardens and orchards with some notable previous custodians. In 2011, having fallen into disrepair and a dilapidated state, the cottage was transformed by the current owners into this unique home. Now providing unusually lateral living space arranged over only two floors, the house has been extended and re-furbished to be compliant with current building regulations and provide a comfortable, contemporary family home. The roof, and all of the windows were replaced in 2011 and it is fully insulated to modern standards yet retains a distinct period impression. The design was informed by many of the surrounding buildings, in particular the lead covered porch and arched Venetian windows, a nod to the architectural aesthetic of the area. Once the tall double gates are shut, the London scene changes to the gravel driveway leading to a house that might be mistaken as a farmhouse in the countryside with gardens surrounding the three sides. The gardens are left to enjoy more natural setup with wild flowers that joyfully welcome the spring and summer seasons.
Location
The location of Emery House is so special, sitting behind the Victorian cottages of South Black Lion Lane that leads directly to the tranquillity of the River Thames and wonderful lifestyle this provides.
On the external side of the gate is off street parking and once closed there is further parking on the gravelled driveway along with an electric charging point.
The house has unusually lateral space and benefits from being arranged over only two floors. Throughout the light is strikingly notable with a wealth of windows including a double height bay window that overlooks the galleried landing. The living/entertaining space is exceptionally generous including a large vaulted reception/living room across one side of the house with a separate staircase to the rear bedrooms. On the opposite side of the house is the open plan kitchen/dining room overlooking and also opening out to the garden.
The first floor provides four charming bedrooms including the remarkable vaulted ceiling principal bedroom with large terrace, en suite bathroom and walk in wardrobe.
The character oozes throughout this very special home.
