South Parade, Chiswick, London, W4

Outstanding Grade II listed family home in Bedford Park

Description

The house is set discreetly back from the road behind electric gates, providing access to a paved driveway with off-street parking for two vehicles and an electric car charging point. The front garden is beautifully kept and thoughtfully landscaped for low maintenance, with a combination of planted beds and a patio for outdoor seating. The house is entered via a charming covered porch, opening into a generously proportioned and inviting hallway. The magnificent double reception room spans the length of the house, benefitting from a dual aspect, boasting high ceilings throughout. The formal front room is exquisitely appointed with intricate wood panelling, a grand working fireplace and a striking bay window. In contrast, the rear reception room offers a warm and relaxed setting, with bespoke floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and French doors that open seamlessly onto the rear garden. Elegant wooden pocket doors allow the two spaces to be separated or open as desired.

Off the hallway, a stylish guest WC and under-stairs storage offer practicality and convenience. To the rear of the house is the stunning kitchen and dining room, which has been recently redesigned to an exceptional standard. This contemporary space is as functional as it is beautiful, with premium integrated appliances, luxurious granite worktops, a large central island and a well-appointed pantry cupboard. Custom cabinetry surround the entrance to the dining area for further storage, finished with ambient under-lighting for a refined touch. Striking Crittall-style doors open onto the paved rear garden, bordered with raised beds, offering a peaceful haven for entertaining or unwinding. A discreet garden shed provides additional storage.

The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, one of which is currently utilised as a study, and a modern family bathroom. The second bedroom is generously proportioned with high ceilings, integrated wardrobes and double doors to a balcony overlooking the garden. The principal suite is situated at the front of the house, enjoying far-reaching views over the park beyond. This substantial room features extensive built-in wardrobes, a large bay window and an elegant freestanding bathtub. Cleverly concealed within the wardrobes is access to a luxurious en-suite bathroom, recently refurbished to include an indulgent dual-function shower and steam room.

A galleried staircase ascends to the second floor, passing stained-glass windows, where two further double bedrooms are located. Each room has a wealth of period charm, from detailed wall panelling to ornate door surrounds. One of the bedrooms also boasts a balcony with picturesque views across Acton Green Common. A contemporary family bathroom with a bathtub completes this upper level.
