West Hill, Putney, London, SW18

Double-fronted, Grade II, Georgian family home with outstanding gardens.

Description

This charming house was built in 1743 and has accommodation over four floors, ideal to suit the needs of a growing family.

Alongside its neighbour at number 31, the house is Grade II Listed and on entering the house there is a wonderful sense of history, with many original features retained. All windows benefit from secondary glazing. There is secure, gated off-street parking to the side of the property, which in turn allows for access to the gardens and garden studios.

On the ground floor the hall gives access to two elegant reception rooms, to the left a wonderful library, with fitted bookshelves and a feature fireplace, and to the right is an elegant, formal dining room with a lovely wall mural.

To the rear of the house is a kitchen / breakfast room with high ceilings and a sitting room, both enjoying views over the gardens.

On the first floor there are three double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, with built in cabinetry. The other two are currently the principal bedroom, having views down the garden and an en suite dressing room. There is also a family bathroom and separate cloakroom.

On the second floor there are two further good size bedrooms and a shower room, plus a spacious loft room with two Velux windows. There is also air conditioning on this floor.

The south facing garden is an absolute unexpected delight, extending to approximately 122 ft and is immensely private. It has been beautifully landscaped, providing many tranquil areas in which to relax. There are four water features, including a 14 foot waterfall and pool with Tasmanian ferns.

Thoughtful planting with fruit trees, topiary hedging, cypresses and colourful borders all add to the charm and there is also a separate studio room, currently used as a study, with a double bedroom adjoining and a summer house, tool shed, potting shed and greenhouse.
