House For Sale £1,900,000
This cleverly conceived four-bedroom house occupies a wonderful position in the heart of Brook Green, a leafy enclave between Hammersmith and Shepherd’s Bush renowned for its array of independent shops and cafes. The house has been completely rebuilt, keeping only the facades. It makes excellent use of an irregularly shaped plot, establishing a set of open, flowing interiors over four storeys, in which the finest contemporary materials have been used. There is existing planning permission for a basement extension.
The Tour
The house presents a striking façade to Sulgrave Road, neatly wrapping around a bend in the quiet residential street. This unique position allows natural light to pour across its multiple levels from three separate aspects. While the brickwork has been painted a contemporary pale blue, original Victorian architectural features remain, including a ground floor bay window and white stucco adornments. Entry is gained via a small front yard of polished concrete, set back behind a whitewashed wall containing low Camellia hedging, all enclosed by wrought iron railings.
The ground floor is a truly impressive space and indeed, is the heart of the home. It has been redesigned in an open plan, allowing light to flow across the Dutch smoked oak floorboards. These boards are arranged on an angle to draw the eye from the front of the house through to the rear. A living room occupies the front of the plan, illuminated by light that streams in through bay windows, brightening the widest section of the house. There is underfloor heating throughout this section, which continues into a bespoke contemporary kitchen designed by Sola. Powder blue cabinetry chimes with veined quartz worktops and splashbacks, Buster + Punch brass handles and a large island with integrated Smeg appliances. There are significant amounts of storage space, as well as a concealed breakfast bar and pantry.
Beyond the kitchen, a new extension houses a dramatic dining room with large skylights overhead, exposed brick walls and polished concrete floors where the underfloor heating continues. This room opens up to a paved garden at the rear via a beautiful Maxlight pivoting glazed door. There is further storage space under the stairs, as well as a guest WC with hand painted Fired Earth tiles. The ground floor has inbuilt bluetooth speakers and two hidden sprinkler systems for peace of mind.
The first floor comprises an expansive main bedroom suite, accessed via an oak staircase with a large skylight above. The bedroom is significant in size and has dual aspect, east/west-facing sash windows that create a bright and airy atmosphere. There is also a fantastic en suite wet room with twin Kast basins in pink concrete, black tapware and underfloor heating. The second floor contains two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of the bedrooms is currently used as a study.
The third floor has been recently added by the current owners and has been designed as a flexible space, perfect for either a large fourth bedroom, a home office complete with a kitchenette, or even a second reception room. There are four large skylights and a Juliette balcony providing views from the rear of the house, as well as plenty of storage space within the eaves. For future flexibility the third floor has been fully plumbed to accommodate all bathroom or kitchen requirements.
Outdoor Space
The house has a small paved garden at the rear, lined with borders of mature roses, fragrant jasmine and arum lilies. It is a wonderfully low-maintenance space, laid with the same polished concrete that lines the dining room, making it feel like a natural extension of the interiors. The proliferation of neighbouring trees and bushes make it a very private space, yet one which still enjoys excellent levels of natural light. The garden comes alive in the evening with external lighting running through the beds.
The Area
Sulgrave Road is located near Brook Green, a beautiful residential area renowned for its family-friendly park, playground, tennis courts and numerous outstanding primary and secondary schools.
