Description
A Majestic Family Home with Rich History, Timeless Elegance, and Contemporary Comfort
Nestled on the distinguished Hollycroft Avenue, this extraordinary residence, designed by renowned architect Sir Guy Dawber in circa 1907, epitomises the perfect blend of romantic Arts and Crafts architecture and luxurious modern living. Inspired by Sir Dawber’s love for his daughters – Holly, Fern, and Rose – the home sits in an avenue named after them, a fitting tribute to the charm and character of this storied location. The avenue has long been home to creatives and intellectuals, with past residents including philosopher Isaiah Berlin, iconic photographer Helmut Newton, and more recently, stars like Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne, and Renee Zellweger. This is a home steeped in history, yet crafted for modern living.
Positioned on the sought-after south side of the avenue, the property enjoys a rare combination of abundant natural light and a spectacular south-west facing garden, ensuring a sunny aspect from morning till evening. The front of the house provides ample off-street parking for two cars, leading to an elegant York stone path that welcomes you to the entrance porch. The meticulous garden design by multi gold award-winning (RHS Chelsea) Kate Gould further enhances the property’s appeal, offering a serene outdoor space to complement the grandeur of the interiors.
Having undergone careful and extensive restoration and expansion, this magnificent home seamlessly combines the original architectural beauty with contemporary luxury. The owners, working alongside the acclaimed SHH Architects, undertook a thoughtful and comprehensive renovation that preserved the iconic features of the house, including the stunning Romeo and Juliet style staircase, while introducing sophisticated design elements throughout. A further refurbishment by Rene Dekker Design added a fresh touch of elegance.
Inside, the property boasts exceptional details, including "Element 7" fired oak wide engineered wood flooring, underfloor heating throughout, integrated Lutron lighting, and a Wi-Fi controlled Sonos sound system – all combining to create a home of comfort and convenience.
