Crown Street, Harrow on the Hill Village Conservation Area

PROPERTY DETAILS

| Viewings Available only to Proceedable Buyers | A most handsome detached house standing within the atmospheric Village Conservation Area. Expertly restored by local craftsmen, The North Star is a former Edwardian corner pub with an air of solidity and substance which now makes a uniquely appealing character home of some 2,000 sq/ft, with courtyard garden & garage.

Beautifully presented and offered for sale chain-free, this desirable property was well converted some 50 years ago to create a home of great interest. Recent renovations included replacement timber-framed windows, full interior re-decoration using Farrow & Ball paints and restoration of the timber floors with original features present throughout including etched glazing and a grand central open fireplace.

Other fine and interesting period details include the beautiful high-grade brass North Star insignia which was lovingly re-made at great cost and the original Benskin's Brewery signage. Set yourself a fire roaring in the central fireplace and with drink in hand, you can easily imagine yourself relaxing here back in 1881.

The central front door opens to a grand entrance hall with the generous dual-aspect living/dining room and a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room off. Tall ceilings and large circulation areas provide an ample sense of space, with a wide landing and 4 spacious bedrooms upstairs. These include a full master suite with separate dressing and shower rooms, plus a family bathroom. Both bathrooms feature underfloor heating and there is an attic above.

Outside is a delightfully private walled courtyard garden and the former stable is now a large detached garage. The shared gravelled courtyard provides one additional parking space. Viewing is essential so please contact us to arrange.

When buying within the village Conservation Area you acquire so much more than the home itself, as the location is a daily delight often described as an oasis due to the peaceful, friendly and cohesive atmosphere. Hill locals know the best green field walks across Church Fields to the nearby Metropolitan Underground & Chiltern Line station or around Harrow School Farm, a place where Sir Winston Churchill no doubt once trod whilst attending Harrow School just around the corner. There are also local shops for day-to-day needs and an excellent Waitrose supermarket at the foot of the Hill.
