The Property
Exceptional Grade II listed family home overlooking the Thames with glorious studio and garden
Stepping into the house on the ground floor, the foyer leads through to a central entrance hall with a grand staircase. On one side, double doors open onto a formal dining room with separate entrance hall/ante-room. A spectacular studio lies to the rear of the property, with double-height ceilings, overhead skylights, and French doors opening onto the garden. This is a unique space, offering exceptional volume and brightness. The floor also contains a storeroom with a dumb waiter and guest WC.
The lower ground floor features a generous open-plan kitchen with rustic units, an informal breakfast area and walk-in pantry. It also features a wine cellar, a utility room, and another guest WC. Furthermore, there is a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and separate street access.
The first floor consists of a superb double drawing room. As well as space for two separate seating areas, it offers high ceilings and full-length French doors opening onto the front balcony. Panelled walls, moulded ceilings, and shuttered windows add to the sense of classical splendour. This floor also features a study overlooking the garden.
The second floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite. This includes a bedroom, a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. The third floor offers two more bedrooms (one currently used a spacious office), one of them ensuite.
The house has been decorated in an exceptionally tasteful traditional style. Its sublime interiors suit the historic setting and are presented in very good condition.
The house includes a beautifully designed rear garden with cobbled pathways, a paved seating area and a central fountain. It can be accessed from both the ground and lower ground floors. Furthermore, a well-proportioned front garden provides added privacy from the street.
There is also considerable outdoor storage space.
