Stanmore Hill, Stanmore, HA7 3DZ

Ref: MS0129

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a truly individual character property.  With parts dating back to 1720, and thought to have been the home of the blacksmith who worked at The Forge next door, this property consists of two parts. A Three / Four bedroom residential property set over two floors, with two substantial loft rooms that could be converted (subject to planning permission). There is also a separate ground floor commercial unit, currently leased to a beautician (Use Class E). 

The current owners have carefully carried out substantial restoration, bringing the property up to modern standards, whilst mindfully preserving the existing quality and original features.  There is no listed status attached to the building.  The property boasts original beams and exposed brickwork, wood floors, a bespoke feature central staircase with atrium, a front balcony with central London views, and a rear Juliet balcony that looks over the fully walled private garden.  The interior is minimally decorated to enhance the natural features of the property, using soft furnishings for splashes of colour.

THE OWNERS LOVE....

"The house is a short walk to St John’s Primary School and Mosaic Synagogue on Stanmore Hill.  St John’s Church on Rectory Lane, and the Shree Swaminarayan Temple and KSIMC of London, both on Wood Lane, are also within walking distance." 

"The property has both BT Internet and Virgin Media options for broadband.  The postcode is on the list for Ultrafast Fibre to be installed.  There is an alarm system and CCTV."

"The current owners chose to live here as it offered them the best of everything.  A period property without listed status. For townies it has everything, and you can be in central London in around 40 minutes." 

"Nature lovers have plenty of unspoiled outdoor space on the doorstep.  A short walk finds you in Bentley Priory Nature Reserve, or Stanmore Country Park. Both are large areas of natural beauty. There are excellent local trails for running and cycling, well-lit pavement options, and many different choices of gyms within easy reach."

“It’s been a real privilege to live in such a beautiful property, and bring it back to life.  It’s been a home full of warmth and love, and we never tire of its unique character.  Making the decision to put it on the market has not been easy, but we are ready to move away from London for a quieter pace of life.  If only we could take the house with us!"

We hope the next custodians will love and protect it as we have, so it can continue to stand for hundreds of years to come’  

I HAVE NOTICED....

The ground floor shop only occupies part of the ground floor and creates a good income to the house from the leaseholder.

This property could make a good potential investment to extend into the huge double loft space or even to create a smaller shop below (STPP), Thus increasing the size of the house.
