Wide and spacious family home on a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Hyde Park

Entering the property on the raised ground floor, the front door opens onto a staircase hall. From here, double doors lead through to a grand reception room with high ceilings running the length of the house. This communicates with a study, where a pair of French doors lead out onto the balcony.

The lower ground floor is centred on a beautiful open-plan kitchen with space for an informal dining area and three sets of French doors accessing the garden. The kitchen communicates with a family TV room, while overhead skylights add to the brightness of both rooms.

The lower ground floor also contains a formal dining room within elegant velvet-covered panelling designed by Adam Bray. An ensuite bedroom, a plant room, a utility room and a guest cloakroom complete this floor.

The principal bedroom suite is found on the first floor, with a dressing room and generous ensuite bathroom including both shower and bathtub.
