Ground Floor

The flexible accommodation is entered through a private front garden, leading to a welcoming entrance vestibule with beautiful Victorian tiled floor. Beyond an elegant stained-glass door, a bright and broad reception hall provides an impressive introduction to the house, with useful storage and a striking staircase rising to the upper floors.

The spacious sitting room, featuring hardwood flooring, bespoke cabinetry and a charming wood-burning stove, creates a warm and inviting setting for both relaxing and entertaining. It flows seamlessly into the generous dining room, where extensive glazing and skylights bathe the space in natural light. The sitting/dining room is perfect for modern indoor-outdoor living and has sliding glass doors opening directly onto the garden.

The kitchen, accessed from the front hall as well as the dining room, forms a warm and welcoming hub. Complete with Rayburn, the kitchen affords ample space for informal family dining. A fully appointed utility provides additional cooking and storage space, and also gives access to a spiral staircase leading up to a small double bedroom (formerly a live-in Nanny's bedroom) presently used as a gym.

The dining room gives access to a tasteful architect-designed garden room. This light-filled and peaceful room (with triple-glazing and closet storage) has both South and West facing aspects giving a sense of immersion in the garden. It offers excellent flexibility as an additional reception room, guest space, bedroom or home office. It is complemented by an adjacent shower room with decorative Fired Earth tiling, accessible walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC. The garden room and shower room, which are accessed via the link with the main house, are as a unit capable of being closed off from the main house (locking door) and with its own access to the street via the external side passage. 

The main kitchen and utility feature granite worktops, a double sink, Smeg double-oven and solid cherry cabinets (all in the utility); and the main kitchen features a Rayburn, bespoke solid oak cabinetry (designed by Namon Gaston), domino induction and gas hobs, Elica combination light/extractor hood, small sink and abundant counter space.

Returning to the front of the house, there is a generously proportioned and bright, front-facing separate study, with original cornicing and hardwood flooring. At the right of the entry, there is a cozy snug (used as a further library space) and which completes the ground floor.
