This type of property rarely comes on the market and offers a large family home overlooking Myatt’s Field Park.

The accommodation consists of an impressive entrance hall, large drawing room and spacious dining room. A large kitchen/diner offers informal dining and an access point to the original coal cellar which provides additional storage. Large French doors open onto the delightful walled courtyard garden with opportunities for summer alfresco entertaining. The garden leads into the original stable which has been converted to a two-car garage with loft.

One of the bedrooms is part of a fully self-contained suite and includes a lobby sitting room, the bedroom, family bathroom, ample storage and a terrace overlooking the courtyard garden and Myatt’s Fields Park.

The house is part of the Minet conservation area.

Entry is to the side of the building directly into the spacious entrance hall with an imposing original fireplace between arched alcoves. The current family use this space over the festive season with enough room for a large Christmas tree. A front-facing drawing room with a further period fireplace is to the left of the entrance. Picture rails, cornicing add to the charm with sash windows fronting the street. The study provides a home office setup with a charming original fireplace and built in book cases. Beyond this you meet the dual aspect formal dining room with three separate sash windows.

Heading upward from the entrance hall, the first return invites you to a rear guest suite with garden views and built in storage.
