INTERNAL

This stunning and rare, exceptionally large ground floor and lower ground floor mansion flat was designed and built as part of a grand house in 1904 by William Willett. This one-of-a-kind property has been fully renovated throughout by the current owners to a very high standard and boasts an array of impressive features that are sure to appeal to the most discerning buyer. The building is situated on a very desirable road amongst other period properties and is an impressive brick-built Victorian style building with bay windows, terracotta detailing and a grand main entrance. The main entrance is for the sole access to this mansion flat and upon entering, the vestibule and impressive hallway retain many original features which have been lovingly restored and retained.

On the ground floor, the property offers three spacious reception rooms, all with period details blended with modern convenience. They provide ample space for entertaining guests or relaxing with family. The traditional dining room is a great space to host cosy dinner parties, and the open-plan kitchen-diner is ideal for cooking and dining in a more modern setting. The built-in Miele, Neff and Quooker appliances are integrated in a solid-wood handmade kitchen, boasting marble worktops and a breakfast bar. This space is the heart of the home and offers plenty of room for hosting dinner parties and family living. The Juliet balcony gives an uninterrupted view into the garden for all seasons. A convenient WC is also located on this floor.

The elegant limestone feature staircase connects the traditional part of the home with the lower-ground floor and at this point you enter a serene, spa-like space with four well-proportioned double bedrooms. The fully insulated limestone flooring has underfloor heating for cosy winters, yet is wonderfully cooling during hot summers. This peaceful floor includes a master bedroom with a luxurious en-suite and walk-in dressing and wardrobe area. This mansion flat offers ample space for larger families to spread out in or those in need of extra room for living or visiting guests. In addition, there is a guest room with en-suite facilities, perfect for accommodating visitors in comfort and privacy. Two further double bedrooms complement this very private feeling space.

The property also features a family bathroom with bath, and a significant storage area with a separate utility and laundry room, ensuring that all practical needs are met.

The added benefit of a share of freehold in this building adds further appeal, with the opportunity to have significant impact in the management of the building.

This ground-floor and lower-ground floor mansion flat offers a blend of elegance, comfort, and practicality, making it a highly desirable property for anyone looking for a spacious and stylish home.
