House For Sale £2,500,000
Attractive Edwardian architecture with glorious large garden.
Description
Located on a very popular residential street in central Chiswick is this wide semi-detached period family house with a fabulous large garden offering superb potential.
The house is currently arranged over three floors, and also benefits from a generous sized original cellar. Numerous houses on the road have been extended into these spaces to create further entertaining and living accommodation (subject to necessary legal and planning consents).
This well maintained family house has been happily lived in by the same family for over 50 years retaining many beautiful period features from fireplaces to ceiling cornices. The arrangement of space is successful but does offer the next owner opportunity to increase the overall foot print substantially ( subject to planning) whilst several of the rooms are of grand proportions.
From the wide and spacious entrance hallway is substantial reception room with a fabulous square-bay window and a feature fireplace being the focal point of the room plus tremendous ceiling height. The formal dining room is next to this with similar proportions.
To the rear of the house is a further sitting room with charming fireplace and a sliding door leading onto the garden. The kitchen / breakfast room has been extended by the current owners and also offers access to the garden. Beyond this is a useful ground floor shower room.
The first floor offers three good size bedrooms. The bedroom at the front is beautifully bright due to the square bay window and has large fitted wardrobes. Next to this is a separate dressing room. The spacious bedroom at the back of the house overlooks the garden. This floor benefits from a large family bathroom.
On the second floor there are another two generous bedrooms. Many houses on the street have further expanded the second floor over the existing rear addition to provide another bedroom (subject to planning permission).
The mature garden is a stunning size mainly laid to lawn with a wonderful open aspect and large shed to the back.
Overall this is a tremendously versatile family house offering additional potential with so many wonderful attributes.

Additional Info
Chiswick is a hugely popular and prosperous large suburb of West London located on the northern side of the River Thames, 6 miles (9.7 km) west of Charing Cross. It was historically an ancient parish in the county of Middlesex, with an agrarian and fishing economy. The name "Chiswick" is of Old English origin meaning "Cheese Farm" and originates from the riverside meadows and farms that are thought to have supported an annual cheese fair on Dukes Meadows up until the 18th century.
The style of property in Chiswick is varied offering everything from mansion flats along the High Road and on Sutton Court Road, to pretty Victorian cottages on the Glebe Estate. Large Victorian detached houses are found in Grove Park, and Arts & Crafts houses throughout Bedford Park. The River front, Chiswick Mall and Strand on the Green are lined with elegant Georgian houses ensuring that there is a fantastic variety of property throughout the local area.
Chiswick High Road, famous for its boulevard-style pavements, is full of quality independent outlets and an increasingly up-market selection of high street names which run from Hammersmith through to the Chiswick roundabout.
Among Chiswick’s fine dining choices are Michelin-starred La Trompette on Devonshire Road and Le Vacherin on South Parade. High Road House and its Brasserie are part of the Soho House empire plus numerous high street restaurants.
Lord Burlington’s Chiswick House is a picturesque, 18th-century Palladian mansion with gardens designed by William Kent. The birthplace of the English Landscape Movement, the gardens, with their statuary hedges and vistas, has had a £12 million makeover which includes a new café by architects Caruso St John. In recent years Chiswick House grounds have played host to Soho House group’s House Festival, enticing the great and the good of the media industry with performers who are both nationally renowned and locally resident.
Bedford Park, London’s first garden suburb, was built between 1875 and 1886 as part of the Arts & Crafts revival. Victorian property developer Jonathan Carr instructed lead architect Richard Norman Shaw (alongside ej May, W Wilson and ew Godwin) in the building of a collection of houses and studios that now form a conservation area and are for the most part Grade II listed. Many of these houses feature elements of styling from William Morris, to whose legacy is dedicated the William Morris Society at Kelmscott House on Upper Mall.
