Description

This unique house is located on the south side of the road and was previously known as Clevedon House. It offers over 5000 square feet of living space spread over five floors, a south facing garden, and off-street parking for several cars. It retains many original period features with several elegant rooms with considerable period detail, open fireplaces, cornicing, large sash windows ( some with shutters ), and high ceilings. The lower ground floor has consisted of two separate flats with their own external access at the front and from within the house. The ground floor has the reception hall, two large, well-lit, interconnecting reception rooms at the rear overlooking the garden and a conservatory. In addition, there is another reception room and the kitchen at the front. A graceful staircase leads from the hall to the first floor, with a large landing, four double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a WC. The second floor has three rooms: a kitchen, a bathroom, and a cloakroom. Access from the second floor is via a pull-down hatch to the 'Turret' room, an octagonal room with stunning rooftop views.

At the front, the house is well set back from the road with high hedges at the side and front and a gravel drive with a 'monkey puzzle tree' to the centre. The walled rear garden faces south and is laid to lawn with herbaceous borders and a large wisteria by the conservatory.

The house was previously the home of Sarah Acland from 1901 to 1930. She was a pioneer in the advancement of colour photography, having been introduced to it by Lewis Carroll. Her achievements are recognised with a Blue Plaque on the front of the house.

Park Town was designed by the architect Samuel Lispcomb Seckham on land previously owned by the Duke of Marlborough, and work began in 1853. It comprises from the west to east large detached Villas with two facing crescents separated by a communal garden for use of the residents, semi-detached Villas and a smaller terrace of houses. It is ideally located for some excellent schools, the nearest being the Dragon..
