STEP INSIDE – HERITAGE DETAILS WITH CONTEMPORARY FLOW

A traditional frontage of London stock brickwork is enhanced by cream painted lintels and mouldings to the recessed entrance and bay windows, finished with elegant foliage capitals. A low brick wall and planting frame the front patio, with a wooden gate leading to a tiled path. The entrance is completed by a distinctive blue front door with chrome furniture, a numbered transom, and surrounding windows, creating a refined and welcoming first impression.

Natural light streams in from the front doorway, illuminating a hallway redecorated this year in a sophisticated mid blue, complemented by botanic print wallpaper above the dado rails. Modillion cornicing enhances the high ceiling, while parquet wooden flooring adds warmth and character. The space is thoughtfully finished with sleek built in storage and hooks, a central pendant light, and a white painted staircase fitted with a grey carpet, with a generous storage cupboard tucked neatly beneath.

Positioned to the right of the hallway, the living room combines parquet flooring with a beautifully lit atmosphere, enhanced by calming green wall tones. A feature fireplace with a modern tiled hearth and a stone mantelpiece forms a striking focal point, complemented by ornate cornicing overhead. A large canted bay window fitted with plantation shutters floods the room with natural light, while bespoke alcove cupboards and bookshelves provide both style and practical storage.

Accessed via a charming stained glass door, the rear kitchen and dining extension – completed in 2018 – forms the true heart of the home. Designed as a generous everyday living space, it is both warm and cosy in winter and bright and sun filled in summer, enhanced by spotlighting throughout, dramatic pitched ceilings, and large skylights over the living area.

The kitchen is finished with black granite work surfaces, sleek white cabinetry wrapping the dining space, and glossy ceramic floor tiles underfoot. Integrated appliances include a Bosch oven (new in 2025), an induction hob with an extractor, a Bosch dishwasher, and a built in CDA fridge freezer.

Impressive tri folding patio doors open directly to the garden, creating seamless indoor outdoor living. The space is completed with wall shelving and a dedicated point for a mounted television. Adjoining the kitchen, a practical yet stylish WC/utility room is fitted with a sink and countertop, housing the boiler and space for a laundry appliance. Warmed by a heated towel rail, the downstairs loo is decorated with a patterned tiled floor, statement wallpaper, and a chrome heated towel rail.

Upstairs, the first floor is finished in warm blue grey wall tones, with soft grey carpeting throughout the landing and bedrooms, creating a calm, cohesive feel. The principal bedroom features two generous built in wardrobes with integrated reading lights and a bay window fitted with wooden shutters. A further front bedroom, currently arranged as a study, benefits from a bespoke built in desk and wooden shutters to the tall window. To the rear, a spacious double bedroom enjoys pleasant garden views through a large window fitted with a blind.

The family bathroom enjoys a large enamel bath and an overhead rainfall shower, offset by light-sand wall tiling and blue and white geometric ceramic floor tiles. Further features include a chrome heated towel radiator, a wall hung basin with a mirrored cabinet above, and a modern toilet. A tall window provides natural light, enhanced by discreet spotlighting.

Accessed via a matching staircase, the loft suite, completed in 2020, is a bright and private retreat. Finished in crisp white décor with soft grey carpeting, the space benefits from triple glazing and spotlighting throughout. The suite offers an excellent range of bespoke built in storage, alongside eaves access, and includes a charming reading area or dressing room, illuminated by skylights.

A sleek en suite bathroom completes the level, fitted with a glazed walk in shower with an overhead rainfall fitting, slate floor tiles, stylish sanitaryware, a chrome heated towel rail, and a mirrored cabinet.

OUTDOORS – PRIVATE AND BEAUTIFULLY LANDSCAPED

The south east facing garden enjoys sunlight from morning through to mid afternoon. A natural stone paved patio leads onto a lawn edged with matching stepping stones, recently replanted in summer 2025 with durable, bee friendly clover seed, set to flourish by spring. Raised beds to the right are defined by natural wood railway sleepers.

This is a mature, professionally maintained garden, rich in established planting, including a eucalyptus tree, jasmine, apple tree, two Japanese maples (acers), dogwood, hydrangeas, and mature ‘hot lips’ salvia and rosemary bushes. Beneath the jasmine and eucalyptus sits a charming swing bench – a peaceful and much loved retreat.

At the rear, a contemporary garden room with a green roof, tonal timber cladding, and black framed windows provides a highly versatile additional space. Finished with laminate flooring, spotlighting, and roller blinds, it is fully equipped with an air conditioning and heating system, making it ideal for a studio, home office, or relaxation space year-round.

A NOTE FROM THE OWNERS 

‘It's been wonderful having the space for our growing family with multiple areas to spend time in together. It's such a light and friendly house to live in with lovely neighbours on both sides and a sense of community on the street. It's also incredibly convenient for travelling into central London or out of the city. We've loved living here!’
