A WORD FROM THE OWNER...

This house has been in the family for four generations and is a much loved family home, and we will miss it. We have felt so lucky to have such an incredibly large garden and our children have been able to enjoy the raised vegetable beds throughout the seasons as well as the bark chipped play area underneath the sycamore tree.

We love that the house works so well throughout the seasons: The main reception room gets beautiful morning sun, the second reception room is the perfect snug and little library in The dark winter months, and the kitchen bifolds leading to the patio allow us to integrate indoor and outdoor living in the summer. Having ample office space plus guest bedrooms as well as having ample storage in the attic space, cellar and utility room has always been very useful for us as a growing family.

We wouldn't have lived anywhere else - we have reaped the benefit of having hollow ponds and woodland in such close proximity, and having the high street, community groups and the central line within a few minutes walk as well as excellent school options has made this our perfect place to live in London.
