Monmouth Avenue Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, KT1 4HR

*** Open House Saturday 14 November 10am -12pm***

A sheltered entrance porch opens into a welcoming hallway, where warm timber-effect flooring, contemporary finishes and a staircase with sleek black balustrading and recessed lighting introduce the home's carefully considered design.

To the front, a generous double bedroom enjoys an attractive bay window with plantation shutters and convenient access to a beautifully appointed bathroom, featuring elegant marble-effect tiling, a bath and separate shower facilities. This flexible arrangement is particularly appealing for guests, extended family or those seeking the convenience of ground-floor bedroom accommodation.

A further reception room, currently arranged as a home office and occasional sitting room, provides a peaceful retreat with its own bay window and plantation shutters. A separate cloakroom completes the accommodation along the hallway.

Beyond striking black-framed Crittall-style glazed doors, the house reveals its magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. Extending across much of the rear of the property, this exceptional room has been thoughtfully designed to create distinct yet beautifully connected areas for cooking, entertaining and relaxation.

Two large rooflights flood the interior with natural light, while exposed timber columns introduce warmth and architectural character. Across the rear elevation, expansive sliding glass doors frame views of the garden and create a seamless connection between inside and out.

The contemporary kitchen features sleek handleless cabinetry, stone worktops and a generous central island, complemented by integrated Miele ovens, a hob, fridge, dishwasher and wine cooler. The island provides an inviting space for informal dining, while the adjoining dining and lounge areas offer ample room for family gatherings and entertaining on a larger scale.

A separate utility and laundry room provides additional practicality and independent access to the garden, while underfloor heating extends throughout the ground floor.
The staircase rises to the first floor, where a distinctive triangular window overlooking the front of the property introduces natural light and a further expression of the home's architectural individuality.

The principal bedroom is undoubtedly the highlight of this floor. Beautifully proportioned beneath a dramatic vaulted ceiling with an exposed timber ridge beam, the room enjoys additional light from a large roof window. An impressive, glazed gable extends into the apex of the roof, with full-height doors opening directly onto a sheltered private balcony.

Inspired by the architecture of local riverside homes, the balcony features timber decking and a contemporary glass balustrade, creating a wonderful, elevated retreat with views across the garden and mature trees beyond.

The adjoining en suite shower room is finished in elegant marble-effect tiling, with a contemporary shower enclosure, vanity unit and WC, complemented by natural light from roof windows.

Two further bedrooms embrace the character of the chalet-style roofline. The second offers a vaulted ceiling, roof window and distinctive porthole window, while the third, currently arranged as a dressing room, provides versatile accommodation with extensive wardrobe space. Both benefit from the practical use of the eaves.

A beautifully finished family shower room, featuring marble-effect tiling, a curved glass shower enclosure and contemporary fittings, completes this floor.

Outside
Set back from the road, the home's attractive red-brick frontage combines traditional detailing with decorative gables and chalet-style architecture. A driveway provides off-road parking for two vehicles, complemented by a garage, while a mature magnolia tree and established planting create an appealing first impression.

A pedestrian gate between the house and garage provides access along the side of the property, with a convenient entrance into the utility room. The garage benefits from rear access, additionally a timber shed provides further storage.

To the rear, the architectural transformation is revealed in full. The striking glazed gable sheltered first-floor balcony and expansive ground-floor glazing create a distinctive contemporary elevation overlooking the generous gardens.

A substantial raised terrace extends across the rear of the house, providing an inviting setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps and a gently sloping ramp connecting to the garden below.

Extending approximately 65 feet, the garden is predominantly laid to lawn, framed by mature trees, established shrubs and attractive boundary planting. The woodland backdrop creates a particularly appealing setting, with an abundance of greenery providing seasonal colour and a welcome sense of tranquillity.

Towards the far end, a second seating area with a timber pergola offers a quieter place to relax, while a useful brick-built outbuilding provides additional garden storage.

The relationship between the house, its beautifully conceived outdoor spaces and the surrounding greenery is a defining feature of this individual home, offering an appealing balance of contemporary architecture and relaxed family living.
