A Grade II-listed, tuscan-inspired villa in the heart of the Larkhall Conversation Area. Set behind wooden gates and a high wall, this five-bedroom detached home presents a lateral offering rarely seen in traditional homes.

Built around 1840, this home has a rich in character and is positioned on a peaceful, residential road found at the end of the private lane. Its distinctive façade is defined by six-over-six sash windows and framed by two soaring Italian cypress trees, a subtle nod to its unique design heritage.

The house has two entrances: the principal approach is via a generous, traditional storm porch leading to the front door and main hallway, while a secondary entrance is through the converted ground-floor garage, which has been thoughtfully converted into a highly practical utility/boot room, complete with bespoke cabinetry and storage.

One of the most striking contemporary interventions within the home is the reception room, formerly a sculptor’s studio, where a dramatic vaulted ceiling draws an abundance of volume and natural light into the space. This floor also hosts a variety of additional living and entertaining areas, including a study, a further reception room currently arranged as a bedroom, and an inviting library/snug, each offering flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen that flows effortlessly into a charming Provençal-style dining room. Two sets of French doors open onto a secluded, south-facing walled garden, forging a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and offering perfect spots for both everyday living and entertaining.

On the first floor, there are four generous bedrooms served by two well-appointed and generous bathrooms.

The house has the rare benefit of being surrounded by a south-facing, walled garden. There is a large lawn along with a paved terrace and seating area. Wisteria has been trained up on the back walls, along with ivy and established planting in the borders. At the front of the house, there is a separate courtyard, which is shielded from the neighbouring homes by mature trees. There is also a secure gated driveway parking and garaging.
