Combining timeless elegance and contemporary luxury, 15, St. James Street is a stunning, spacious, family home. A modern, open plan kitchen/dining space with a cosy seating area forms the heart of the home and it has French doors opening onto the pretty, private rear garden, creating a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.

15, St. James Street is a handsome, four-storey Georgian townhouse with a red brick facade and a slate-tiled roof. When the current owners purchased it in 2021, it had recently undergone a painstaking refurbishment, to provide a timelessly elegant family home with all the modern-day comforts. The updated property retains a wealth of late-Georgian features sash windows, ceiling cornices, original fireplaces, a glass paned entrance door and an exquisite period staircase with a walnut veneer balustrade, rising from the quarry-tiled entrance hall.

At the front of the house, on the ground floor, the living room has a strong period ambience, with its exposed elm floorboards, decorative cornicing and moulded dado rails. Symmetrical arched recesses flank the fireplace, where there is a restored cast iron Victorian grate with a decorative surround. The sash window in this room has a rare rising shutter.

At the rear of the property, the light and airy open plan kitchen, dining and living room is a fabulous contemporary-styled space for family gatherings and entertaining. It is fitted with Shaker-style painted oak units with a mixture of oak and black granite worktops and there is an island with a breakfast bar. An Aga' gas range cooker fits neatly into the former fireplace. Integrated appliances include a 'Fisher and Paykel' dishwasher, 'Smeg' electric oven, and two-ring induction hob. There is a walk-in pantry with sensor lighting.

There is attractive Amtico flooring throughout the open plan space, which includes a dining area, flooded with light from a ceiling lantern. Beyond is the cosy, contemporary-styled TV/living area, an inviting space for relaxing, featuring exposed ceiling beams, vertical period-style radiators, and a recessed fireplace with a cast iron multi-fuel burner. French doors open onto the private, walled, rear garden.

The ground floor accommodation also includes a conveniently located WC.

Stairs from the hallway lead down to the basement, where significant investment in a ventilation and drainage system has resulted in the creation of two habitable rooms with good ceiling heights. One is currently used as a family games/cinema room and home office whilst the other is used for storage.

On the first floor of the property there is an elegant principal bedroom with an original Victorian cast iron fireplace and carved timber surround. Either side of the fireplace are recessed arches. The room has a sash window overlooking the square to the front of the property. Across the landing from the bedroom is a luxurious bathroom, featuring a fully tiled walk-in shower, a freestanding bath, and a period-style radiator. A large sash window, which gives views towards The Kymin, has original shutters. A door from the bathroom leads to a handy walk-in laundry area.

On the second floor are two charming bedrooms, each with period fireplaces and each having an ensuite WC. One of the bedrooms has a sash window offering views towards The Kymin. The other bedroom overlooks St James Square.

Up another floor is an atmospheric attic bedroom with exposed roof trusses and a small sash dormer window. Across the landing there's a bathroom with a central, contemporary-styled, free-standing bath.

At the rear of the house is a walled garden, thoughtfully landscaped with a natural stone patio and well-established flowerbeds, providing a private and tranquil retreat.
