Description
The composition of the property, some 49m in length, hence the Long House, was determined by careful integration of its new masses with the scale and form of the surrounding urban context. Recently built, much of which is single storey, this house extends to 7711sqft (718 sqm) and has been designed to a high specification utilising contrasting materials of brickwork, glass, render and zinc.
This radical home was conceived as a 'secret dwelling', with abundance of interconnected entertaining spaces with large living and dining spaces. It has been designed to maximise light and views with extensive glazing throughout overlooking the landscaped garden. A highlight of the house is a striking 54ft (16.5m) vaulted reception with 3.58m ceiling height with access to the garden and stairs leading down to a 20 metre top-lit subterranean heated lap pool which is bathed in natural light. The pool area also includes a steam room, shower and substantial storage room.
The upper floors are set across two separate wings: the main wing features a luxurious principal suite with extensive wardrobes and ensuite bathroom, three further main bedrooms and two bathrooms; the other is designed as a guest and staff wing with two further bedroom suites.
The Long House has, unsurprisingly, won a number of awards and accolades, including a RIBA Award in 2008 and was a World Architecture News House of the Year international finalist, sits on a significant triangular shaped plot on the north side of historic Abercorn Close with an exceptional garden featuring a pietro lauro limestone tiled terrace, decked dining area and substantial lawn.
With its village-like ambiance, elegant regency and contemporary buildings, world famous cricket ground and established cosmopolitan atmosphere, St John's wood is one of central London's most sought-after addresses. Just a short distance by road or underground to London's west end and City, yet set apart due to its unique architectural heritage and history, and The 400 acres of neighbouring Regent's Park and Primrose Hill, St John's Wood has been a highly desirable place to live over the last 200 years.
