House For Sale £3,000,000
Combining historical interest, contemporary fittings, high ceilings and large windows this converted warehouse offers a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial home boasting in excess of 3700 sqft of design led internal accommodation.
Occupying a former factory building and accessed via large electric gates, this spectacular four bedroom home offers a high level of privacy and security.
Retaining much of the fabric of the original building, including exposed-brick walls, concrete lintels and visible timber beams, this home is bursting with dramatic architectural touches, including a double-volume main reception room, minimalist concrete bathrooms, original New York-style tin ceilings, and full-height glass sliding doors that open the house up completely to a sensational outdoor space.
The current owners have created a beautiful and authentically modern family home with a private courtyard garden and separate studio apartment, remaining true to the building's heritage throughout.
Behind large wooden gates, accessed by a paved driveway with bricks salvaged from one of the factory's original exterior walls, lies a dreamy courtyard filled with mature planting and accented by a concrete and metal water feature set against clusters of black bamboo.
Having entered the property, you are led to an inviting, open-plan living and dining room with double-height vaulted ceilings and a feature wall occupying the central ground floor space. The room is flooded with natural light pouring in through a huge skylight and floor-to-ceiling glazed doors at each aspect. These open onto the main courtyard and a second, smaller internal courtyard to the rear of the building, with tropical planting and pretty decorative lighting.
Also on this level is the kitchen, with stainless-steel worktops and glazed sliding doors to the central courtyard. There is also a zoned workspace sitting adjacent to the main courtyard, a utility room and guest WC. Poured and polished concrete has been laid across the entire ground floor, as well as the bench and hearth for the open fire in the living room and various other interior walls throughout.
One of the four bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, enjoying its own en-suite bathroom and access to an internal courtyard.
The three additional bedrooms are found on the upper level, including the principal suite which alone is almost 300 sq ft and flooded with light from an overhead skylight with low-level and clerestory windows and electrically operated blinds. The main bedroom also enjoys its own en-suite walk-in shower with dressing room and study areas, the latter accessed via a doorway and small wooden staircase.
A family bathroom, with a bespoke metal bath, serves the two further bedrooms at the opposite end of the house. These rooms are accessed via the galleried library area and mezzanine open-plan sitting area. From here, full-height glazed sliding doors open onto a south-facing terrace with exterior stone staircase leading down to the main courtyard.
Across the main courtyard and facing the kitchen, is a separate, wood-panelled studio building with its own, private entrance. Formerly used as an editing suite and having undergone extensive renovation, the building contains a high-end 7.1 speaker home cinema setup with dropdown screen projector lift, wired so as to be concealable at the touch of a button, in addition to a separate, tiled shower room and WC. The studio has also been used as a further additional bedroom.
This remarkable home is discreetly tucked away on a quiet residential street, approximately 500 yards from the northern end of Ladbroke Grove (and the Grand Union Canal towpath). Chamberlayne Road is a three-minute walk, with its fine selection of independent cafés, restaurants, delis, pubs and shops – including a butcher, greengrocer, specialist bakery and one of London's finest florists. Local favourites include Vicki's Café, The Island, Ida (a family-run Italian restaurant), the Paradise By Way of Kensal Green and the Parlour gastropubs, as well as nearby Pizza East Portobello. Queens Park is easily reached on foot, as are Golborne Road and Portobello Market.
The nearest stations are Kensal Green Tube (Bakerloo Line), Kensal Rise (London Overground services) and Ladbroke Grove station (Hammersmith & City and Circle Line). The area also benefits from bus services into central London and other destinations.
