Originally constructed in 1939 by the well regarded builder John MacDonald, this immediately striking and completely individual villa is of impressive architectural design and has been sympathetically upgraded by the current owners to offer a home that effortlessly marries Art Deco stylings with contemporary fixtures and fittings.
Initial inspection will showcase a sharp aesthetic, typical of the Art Deco period, with a sharp white render complimented by red brick dressings. Much of the property’s original features have been retained (oak floors, doors, staircase, and a lovely leaded staircase window) yet enhanced by modern improvements such as double-glazed windows, kitchen and sanitary fitments and, perhaps significantly, the recent re-rough casting of the exterior walls (2019). The flat roof was renewed about 17 years ago with long-life Firestone rubber coating.
One of the key alterations carried out by our clients is the conversion of one half of the garage space to create a fully insulated and serviced (water and electricity) home office – accessed via double doors to the rear garden – what could be argued as the perfect home working environment.
The internal subjects are well presented and decorated mainly neutral tones – highlighting, in effect, the abundant character and charming found throughout.
