THE PROPERTY
Built in opulent style, this fine example of a late Victorian London townhouse is set amongst other admired homes near the summit of the Hill. A beautiful home built to impress with high-ceilinged rooms, marble fireplaces, elaborate moulded cornices and many other craftsman-made details, the house has also been updated with a generous contemporary ground floor living space.
Approached through tall gates to a generous cobbled driveway, you climb wide stone steps and use the original bell-pull before entering through a grand front door. A substantial 3,000sq/ft property with accommodation over 4 floors, the present owners employed a specialist building firm to restore and improve many elements of this fabulous house, successfully combining modern luxuries with the historic feel of the original house.
Beautifully presented, the house now has a stylish fully-integrated Poggenpohl kitchen/breakfast room with Miele appliances. This is open-plan to the central dining room plus a large family living area on the ground floor, a level of the building which features underfloor heating and a custom-made floor full height Crittall window, creating a fantastic and very comfortable place for a busy modern family.
Above are 2 further reception rooms, both highly original with beautiful timber flooring, tall windows bringing light and views, original internal shutters and a Juliet Balcony to the front. The upper floors feature 5 generous bedrooms, including a fabulous master suite with dressing room and large en-suite bathroom. There are far-reaching views from this high vantage point and the house has gas-fired central heating.
Outside is a sizable garden which is landscaped and beautifully planted making it ideal for entertaining with large paved terrace and feature lawn. The frontage is a wide gated driveway providing parking for up to 4 vehicles, and this is a rare chance to acquire a fabulous period house within the exclusive Harrow on the Hill Conservation Area.
The village is an 'oasis' only 10 miles from London, with a unique atmosphere and great road and rail connections to both London and the Home Counties. From its origins as a mediaeval settlement and the seat of the famous Harrow School, it further rewards with its many green spaces, independent coffee shops, cocktail bars & restaurants for entertaining, and a friendly, cohesive community.
