Description

The home has been masterfully crafted throughout, with some incredibly elegant features, from atmospherically-layered lighting to a garden designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medallist.
Upon walking through the main entrance, you are greeted by an entrance hall which gives one way to the formal dining room and the other to a beautifully-designed, fully bespoke eat-in kitchen, which itself opens into a steel-framed extension that overlooks the private garden.
The first floor is home to two reception rooms; one a relaxing family room and the other a more formal sitting room that is ideal for entertaining.
The second and third floors house four bedrooms, all of which being doubles. The bathroom on the third floor has been ingeniously designed with walls made from cork. This, in combination with the two bedrooms and bathroom on the top floor, creates warm and tranquil sleeping quarters in what is a truly substantial family home.
A further bedroom can be found on the lower ground floor, along with a utility room and bathroom, where an antique bread oven gives a nod to the intriguing, extensive history of the house. The lower ground floor provides a versatile space as it has its own entrance, meaning that it can be almost fully self-contained.
The house is complimented by its exquisitely-designed garden. It is a truly private space that feels like an oasis in the middle of the City; you are only reminded of your location by the backdrop of The Shard. The garden is also home to a quaint outbuilding that could readily have the use of a home office or gym.
