Overview

This traditional property occupies a desirable position within a conservation area. It enjoys open views across East Common and nearby St John’s Wood, with convenient access to the surrounding green space and local amenities. The home has been thoughtfully modernised, while retaining its original period features.

The property is entered via a glazed door into a porch, leading to a light and welcoming entrance hall, which provides access to three reception rooms and a cloakroom. This home has been sympathetically updated to include beautiful engineered wooden flooring throughout much of the ground floor. To the front, the sitting room features an original open fireplace and a bay window, overlooking the Common. This flows through to the second reception room, which also has an open fire and is currently used as an office, with sliding doors opening onto the garden terrace, allowing natural light to fill the space. The dining room conveniently leads to the kitchen, which enjoys a light and airy feel, with glazing on three aspects. It features bespoke shaker-style cabinetry and a breakfast bar for casual dining, along with a range cooker and a traditional-style butler sink. A charming stable door provides access to the garden.

On the first floor, is a spacious, light landing, with the doors to four bedrooms and the main bathroom, and ladder access to the large boarded loft with electric light. The principal bedroom looks out over the garden and features an en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms, two of which are double in size with useful built-in storage. The bedrooms to the front of the house enjoy an attractive outlook over East Common and St John’s Wood beyond. All are served by a smart family bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower and a roll-top bath. The bathroom also benefits from underfloor heating.
