Description

Built in 1928 this charming Arts and Crafts detached period house offers wonderful traditional family accommodation.

Discreetly tucked away behind private gates off Kenilworth Avenue, this house sits back from the road at the end of a driveway. Brimming with the sounds of birdsong, this hidden gem feels like your country house in London.

Built by an architect for himself, this house has been built with families in mind with good lateral space and careful attention to detail.

On entering, the entrance hall leads through to an open plan reception room. The reception room has a beautiful fireplace and sliding doors leading out to the garden. There is a study and a second reception room. The ground floor features solid beech floors throughout.

Steps lead up from the reception room through beautiful curved architecture to the kitchen/breakfast/dining room. The kitchen is crafted from sold oak offering a plentiful range of units and cupboards. Doors to the side and the rear of the kitchen open out to a paved terrace and the garden.

Upstairs, through an arched doorway, is a generous principal bedroom with lovely green views of the garden and an en suite bathroom. There are a further three bedrooms, a modern shower room and a family bathroom. The quirky character of the house can also be seen on this floor with lovely wooden beams.

The garden is very special. It is mature and tranquil with a 200 sq ft log cabin at the rear. This useful studio/home office is Scandinavian built, powered, with lighting and a kitchen. The doors fold back to let the nature in. The garden also features lighting and a pergola.

There is also excellent opportunity to increase the square footage subject to planning or redecorate.

The driveway has room for three cars.
