A handsome five bedroom Grade II listed townhouse with an open aspect south-facing garden, situated in a prime location in South Kensington SW5.
Set back from the road with a good size front garden and an impressive mature tree which provides both appeal and privacy. The property offers a good balance of space with high ceilings and period features throughout. This particular terrace of houses were formally known as Drayton Terrace and share similar architecture to the neighbouring and highly desirable houses at the north end of Drayton Gardens.
Entering on the raised ground floor to a bright, elegant hallway which gives access to a large open-plan kitchen/dining/reception room with pretty views to both front and back. There is access to a wonderful mature c.30 ft south-facing garden from this floor, perfect for al fresco dining.
Upstairs, on the half landing, there is a tranquil conservatory with uninterrupted views over the neighbouring gardens, perfect for reading. On the first floor to the front is the formal drawing room with ceiling heights of 3.23m and two large period windows. There is a double bedroom and shower room on this level. On the second floor are two further double bedrooms and a shower room. A large loft studio room is on the upper level.
The lower ground floor is currently configured as a self-contained apartment with a bedroom/study, bathroom and kitchen, that enjoys an abundance of natural light due to a light well. The lower ground floor also benefits from vault storage to the front opposite the front door.
This charming Grade II period townhouse has been in the same family ownership since the early 1980s. It presents an extremely exciting opportunity to create a wonderful family home for its new owners. Several of the neighbouring properties have built rear extensions. This may be a consideration for this property subject to the necessary permissions and consents.
