Goldhawk Road, Ravenscourt Park, London, W12

A masterclass in design on the edge of Ravenscourt Park with expansive garden, swimming pool and parking

Description

Perched on the edge of Ravenscourt Park is this absolutely incredible five-bedroom home that showcases bold, confident interiors and a beautifully landscaped garden that opens directly onto Ravenscourt Park.

This remarkable family home has been thoughtfully curated by Bobo Design Studio. Its expansive layout is filled with uplifting colours, eclectic details, and an abundance of glazing that seamlessly connects indoor spaces to the outdoors embracing the proximity of the park.

The home makes an immediate impression with its private driveway, mature trees, and elegant brick façade. Step inside and contemporary design takes the lead. A curved archway introduces the reception room, a calming space defined by its striking colour palette. Dark ceilings and painted floors draw attention to a vivid pillarbox-red feature wall and a black fireplace surround. French doors provide access to the garden, with shutters that can be closed for a more intimate, cinema-style setting.

At the core of the home is a large, open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area designed for sociable, modern living. A glass door and set of steps lead into this impressive space, where smooth worktops, grey cabinetry, and high-end appliances by Smeg, Siemens, and Quooker define the bespoke kitchen. Adjacent, a built-in banquette dining area sits beneath colourful pendant lights, while natural light pours in through skylights, multiple windows, and a dramatic circular ceiling void. A granite-toned fireplace is flanked by full-height open shelving, bringing both style and function. Nearby, a vivid red wine cellar adds a playful design touch. Also on this level is an en suite bedroom, currently configured as an office, with garden-facing picture windows.

The garden is special, a vision by Chelsea Flower Show double award-winner Jonathan Snow offers a true escape from the city. A magnolia tree provides a picturesque canopy for the patio, where an outdoor kitchen and Weber barbecue sit beneath a wooden veranda, perfect for al fresco dining.

The generous lawn is bordered by rich planting and hedgerows, leading to a swimming pool framed by timber decking. At its base, a bold mural by artist Mathilde de l’Ecotais adds a unique focal point. A summer house with en suite bathroom at the far end of the garden provides flexible space for a gym, studio, office or guest accommodation. A discreet gate offers direct access to Ravenscourt Park, just 50 yards away, with its open green spaces, playgrounds, and walking trails.

A sculptural, whitewashed stairwell leads to the first floor, where the principal bedroom suite offers a calm retreat. It features a dedicated dressing area, separate toilet, and a luxurious open-plan bathroom with a freestanding tub and oversized dual shower set against polished marble walls, all with leafy views from the picture window absorbing the wonder garden and park beyond. Three additional bedrooms continue the home’s cohesive design with muted tones and soft light. One enjoys an en suite shower room, while a family bathroom serves the others.

Thoughtful, expressive and beautifully executed, this Ravenscourt Park home is more than just a place to live, designed for indulgent living, it’s a home to enjoy and rejuvenate.

Chiswick is a hugely popular and prosperous large suburb of West London located on the northern side of the River Thames, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Charing Cross. It was historically an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex, with an agrarian and fishing economy. The name "Chiswick" is of Old English origin meaning "Cheese Farm" and originates from the riverside meadows and farms that are thought to have supported an annual cheese fair on Dukes Meadows up until the 18th century.

The style of property in Chiswick is varied offering everything from mansion flats along the High Road and on Sutton Court Road, to pretty Victorian cottages on the Glebe Estate.
