THE PROPERTY
Providing great privacy within the exclusive Mount Park Estate, Birchdale stands on an exceptional, secluded plot of almost 0.75 acres approached via long private driveway. Offered for the first time since built in 1968, this generous individual detached home measuring over 2,600sq/ft now requires modernisation, presenting an inviting prospect.
Thoughtfully designed in a mid-century architectural style, this bespoke house has all principal rooms facing West to overlook the beautiful grounds and enjoy good natural light. The unique plot is bounded by mature gardens of other substantial private homes and presents a truly special opportunity. It also provides convenience with the village High Street and highly regarded schools including Orley Farm Prep School and John Lyon School for Boys & Girls a short walk away.
Upon entering the house the hallway splits, taking a few steps down to the ground floor or a few up to the first. Extended in 1971 and again in 1978, the lower level comprises 2 large living rooms with dining room adjacent, the kitchen, breakfast room and a utility room plus guest cloakroom. Upstairs are 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a master with en-suite and garden views. The later addition provides the possibility to create a further large bedroom suite by combining the 2nd and 6th bedrooms (see Floorplan).
The landscaped gardens are a delight, being mature and well maintained with generous lawned areas lying mainly to the North and West. Additionally, the property features ample driveway parking leading to a double garage. There is also a gas central heating system (untested). Offered for sale with the advantage of no onward chain, we recommend an early viewing to appreciate this fine home, its large plot and the overall setting.
Harrow on the Hill village is an 'oasis' 10 miles from London, with a unique atmosphere and excellent 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.
The historic buildings of the world-famous Harrow School are part of the picturesque Hill. Harrow School shares its first class facilities with Hill residents, who can enjoy membership of its Fitness Club with state of the art gym and 25-meter swimming pool, lawn tennis club and golf club. The Friends of Harrow School caters for those interested in the Arts with free concerts, plays and lectures. The Harrow Hill Trust organises community events and guided walks.
