An exceptional Victorian family home with striking contemporary architecture and a west facing garden.

Description

This impressive early Grade II Victorian home has been thoughtfully redesigned and restored to create a sophisticated yet highly practical family residence. Arranged over four floors, the house combines elegant period proportions with striking contemporary architecture. High ceilings, generous windows and carefully considered spaces give the property a wonderful sense of light and volume throughout.
The heart of the home is the impressive open plan kitchen and dining room, with solid oak flooring, a generous breakfast bar and ample space for a large dining table and relaxed seating. From here, full height glass doors open directly onto the west facing landscaped garden, creating a seamless connection between the principal living spaces and outside. The raised ground floor provides a substantial double reception room, enhanced by the dramatic double height glass extension. The combination of original architectural character and contemporary detailing gives the room a particularly impressive sense of space.

The principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from excellent fitted storage and double sash windows. There are three further double bedrooms, together with a large wet room and separate main bathroom. Excellent storage is provided throughout the house, making it particularly well suited to modern family life. The overall result is a beautifully considered home that combines architectural interest, exceptional entertaining space and everyday practicality.
