An arched fanlight with original detail leads to a neat entrance hall where an inner hallway offers tall ceilings, dado rails and cornicing. Beautiful parquet flooring glides forth to your gobsmacking dual aspect kitchen/diner. Twin arched sash windows front the grove where a vast island/breakfast bar takes centre stage. Plentiful baby-blue shaker-style cabinets will house a Michelin-starred worthy culinary collection and your appliances include a six ring gas range and integrated fridge/freezer. A grand Regency fireplace befits the general grandeur at either end of the space. The dining area boasts garden views through a huge rear-facing sash window. Your guests will find a fancy wc back in the hall and a most-useful boot room with storage preceding your garden access.

Heading to the cleverly arranged lower ground floor. A large utility room with wooden worktops and tons of storage will make light of the house work. And the doggy hasn’t been forgotten either! A bepoke custom-built dog shower will hose those muddy paws with ease. There’s also an adjacent shower room complete with beautiful 'Bert and May' ceramic tiles. And as the evening draws in you may want to retire to that spectacular television/cinema room where bespoke cabinetry house an almost cinema-size screen. The moody blue walls make it an inviting place to binge-watch a box set (or three). Completing this airy basement is a large wine cellar and yet more handy storage.

The first floor will wow you endlessly. That superb drawing room commands a bright front aspect position through two sets of French windows, each opening to a Juliette balcony. Attractions include dado rails, ornate cornicing, regency fireplace and stunning wooden wall panelling. A studiously arranged library/office faces rear on this floor with an amazing dark-wood integrated desk, low level storage units, shelving and a feature fireplace. This will also make a fine double bedroom, depending on your requirements. Completing this floor is a wc with sublime floral 'House of Hackney' wallpaper and a further front-facing study space.

The second floor master suite is elegant, spacious and beautifully arranged boasting twin front aspect sash windows. Beautiful bespoke storage sit either side of a stunning Regency style feature mantel. There's more elegant wooden panelling and an adjoining dressing room with fitted storage. Also adjoining, through recessed pocket doors, is your impressive Porter ensuite which has a vast walk-in shower with drencher and integrated marble seat. Twin marble oval wash hand basins, fitted storage and period loo finish the room nicely. The boiler room is off the second landing.

A final upward investigation reveals an L-shaped third floor hallway which has light from two raised rear-facing sash windows. Fitted storage precedes your bathroom which has gorgeous blue wooden panelling and complimentary blue tiling for the wow-factor. There's a heated towel rail, period stye wash hand basin and loo and it's all kept light and airy by a side aspect casement window. Two of the three bedrooms on this floor face front with lofty leafy views over the Grove. The right hand room enjoys dusky pink walls and plush carpeting. The left room has earthy wall tones and more lush carpeting. The final bedroom has views over the leafy garden and the luscious London skyline. Currently configured as a nursery, there’s plenty of space for a double bed and it also boasts twin fitted wardrobes.

Public transport links, including trains and buses, are equally impressive.
