Kings Gate, Harrow on the Hill Village Conservation Area

PROPERTY DETAILS

A large historic house on Harrow on the Hill, built in 1886 and set amongst other fine buildings within the Conservation Area. Requiring general improvement and priced accordingly, this handsome 2,650sq/ft home pleasingly retains its original character, affording a buyer the choice to renovate or re-model.

Most appealing to those with a liking for genuine period style, it is ideal for a family and stands close to Orley Farm Prep School. A highly desirable and substantial Victorian property, it offers versatile accommodation spread over 4 floors with high ceilings, tall windows, many splendid architectural details and some far-reaching views.

Upon entering the hallway you quickly gain an appreciation of the character of this desirable home, with the 2 grand living rooms found on this floor. Descending to garden level you find the sizeable open-plan kitchen/dining room with guest cloakroom and wine cellar, plus access to a very large storage room. Formerly used as a garage this space offers a great opportunity to re-model the entire ground floor, or re-instate. The upper 2 floors then contain 5 spacious bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, with some stunning views across West London.

Outside there is a generous and broadly level garden with patio and long lawn. Mature and well kept, it is perfectly sized for the house with a wide side access path. To the front is a driveway providing parking for 1 or 2 cars, with the possibility to re-establish use of the aforementioned storage room as garaging. Also worthy of mention is that planning consent was granted in recent years for a ground floor addition (now lapsed).

Built at a time of style, wealth and craftsmanship, this property now represents a rewarding project. Offered with No Onward Chain, it is not often that such an opportunity presents itself, so we recommend viewing this beautiful home.

Harrow on the Hill village is an 'oasis' 10 miles from London, with a unique atmosphere and great road and rail connections to both London and the Home Counties. From its origins as a mediaeval settlement and the seat of the famous Harrow School, it further rewards with its many green spaces known only to locals, independent coffee shops, cocktail bars & restaurants for entertaining, and a friendly, cohesive community.
