An impressive five bedroom family house with a private garden.
Description
Positioned on one of the area’s most attractive residential streets, this beautifully appointed five-bedroom home spans four impressive floors, offering superb proportions, period charm, and flexible family living throughout.
The house opens via a pretty 19ft-wide front garden into a deep and welcoming hallway, setting the tone for the elegance that continues throughout. To the right, the first reception room boasts soaring 3.1m ceilings and a wealth of original features including a bay window and decorative fireplace. Currently arranged as a dining space, it flows seamlessly into the stunning shaker-style kitchen, which features original wooden flooring, navy cabinetry, a large range oven, integrated appliances, a butler sink and ample storage.
Beyond, a stylish utility room sits beneath a skylit roof, providing excellent overflow space from the kitchen. To the rear, a second large reception room with similarly tall ceilings opens directly onto the private 25ft garden—an ideal layout for indoor-outdoor living. A guest WC completes this floor, and there is convenient access to a lower-ground casement level, ideal for laundry, storage, or further utility space. A garden store at the rear offers even more functionality.
Upstairs, the first floor hosts a generous principal bedroom with a large bay window, a balcony overlooking charming Fentiman Road, and an original fireplace. This room shares the floor with a beautiful bathroom, complete with freestanding bath and excellent proportions. The second bedroom on this level is currently arranged as a dressing room, featuring good built-in storage and direct access to a sleek shower room.
The second floor offers three further well-sized double bedrooms, each with characterful period detailing and good ceiling heights, along with a modern family bathroom. The layout offers flexibility for growing families, work-from-home needs, or guest accommodation.
The house is relatively late Victorian and the design is more arts and crafts than classical – The designers at that time looked to the Netherlands for models. The Italian and Palladian neo-classical of the earlier Victorians was superseded in favour of seventeenth-century classical revival. Osbert Lancaster, the architectural satirist coined it Pont Street Dutch.
