DESCRIPTION

The property is of grey brick façade with a glazed and panelled front door with fan light over and a canopy supported by columns. Archetypal of Victorian double fronted properties, 28 Park Lane is aesthetically appealing in terms of elegance and grandeur. Featuring twin bay windows flanking the front entrance, classic internal proportions, and decorative elements, which include stained glass windows, cornicing and elaborate ceiling roses.

Over the years, the property has been subjected to extensive re-modelling with high specification finishes and incredible attention to detail throughout. The rooms are elegantly proportioned with good ceiling heights, and the large sash windows, enhancing the feeling of space and providing an abundance of good natural light. The property retains many classical features, including columns, ironwork, marble, and deep skirting boards. This is a fabulous example of a property of this age coupled with modern additions. The property presently offers 3 bedrooms but was formerly a 4-bedroom property and could easily be re-configured to create 4 or 5 bedrooms.

On entering the property there is a wide entrance hall sitting open plan to the adjacent reception rooms, allowing in generous waves of natural light. To the right is a sitting room with open fireplace set in a black marble surround, to a design by Pugin. These black marble fireplaces are a unifying feature within each sub-area on the ground floor. An archway leads through to the snug and from here steps lead down to the adjoining dining room. The dining room features a set of double-glazed French doors, wood flooring, tall built-in corner cabinets and affords fine views over the rear garden.

To the left of the entrance hall is an open plan library/reception room (formerly 2 reception rooms) with built-in bookshelves and further open fireplace. There is significant built-in storage available from this room for stowing large bulky items, such as luggage.

To the back of the house is the kitchen breakfast room, beautifully fitted with a range of built-in base and wall cabinets and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a Neff 5-burner gas hob with extraction unit, Neff fan oven, oven/grill and a warming drawer, Neff dishwasher and a space dedicated for a large American style fridge freezer. There is a practical walk-in pantry and plenty of space for a table and chairs in the room. A set of French doors open out to the rear garden.

From the kitchen/breakfast room there is access down to the temperature-controlled wine cellar and a cloakroom with WC, wash hand basin and Velux. There is home office to the rear of the property, overlooking the garden and fully fitted with desk, cabinets, and shelving.

A further cloakroom is available adjacent to the staircase rising to the first floor. A large light well on the first-floor landing provides a generous wave of natural light. The main bedroom enjoys a double aspect to the front and rear of the property. There is an open fireplace set in a marble surround. There is a further double bedroom with open fireplace and a view overlooking the rear garden. Steps lead down to an en suite shower room and laundry room, with space and plumbing for laundry appliances. A single bedroom with an aspect to the front completes the bedroom accommodation.

The well-appointed bathroom features a bath, wash hand basin vanity unit, marble worktops, built-in storage, WC, and a heated towel rail. The separate shower room is equally luxurious, with marble walls and flooring and marble work tops. There is a large walk-in shower, wash hand basin vanity unit, WC, and heated towel rail.

OUTSIDE

The property sits back from the road behind wrought iron railings and is approached over a gravelled driveway, with ample off-road parking and access to an adjoining racked store, which has a further door into the rear garden.

The walled rear garden has been beautifully and creatively landscaped to include a circular paved terrace for alfresco dining, a lawn surrounded by herbaceous borders and flower beds, and an oak framed loggia to provide a sheltered and shaded area for relaxing or dining.

A large, insulated, and heated summer house is a beautiful and chic addition to this family home. This multi-purpose space offers built-in bookshelves and has an en suite bathroom.
