Property Description
This wonderful four-bedroom house located on Strawberry Hill Road is a fine example of 1960’s architecture. Having only ever been occupied by the architect and his family, the house is teeming with untouched mid-century details; internal cedarwood ceilings and panelling and extensive floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout. The house is ideally located, set back in a private and secluded plot on a quiet residential street, yet just minutes’ walk from Strawberry Hill station. London Waterloo is reachable in thirty minutes.
A private driveway leads to the property’s entrance, introduced by an abundantly landscaped garden which wraps around the house and water feature that sits to the front. The internal living space occupies just over 2,000 square feet, with accommodation spread over two floors. From the entrance hall, the primary living room sits to the right, the kitchen to the left, with a beautiful line of joinery dividing the two.
The living room is a bright space, with floor-to-ceiling glazing looking out to the front garden. The room’s centrepiece is a 1960’s Swedish fireplace with exposed brickwork surround, paired with a wall of open book shelving adjacent and exceptionally well-preserved tiling underfoot.
The kitchen is charming and understated, with Miele appliances, built-in bespoke cabinetry and a serving hatch. A separate utility room sits to the side of the house, perpendicular to the ground floor washroom. A beautifully bright extension with extensive glazing, added in the 1980’s to serve as the architect’s study, is positioned to the front of the house.
The first floor is accessed by the original wooden open-tread staircase at the centre of the plan, leading to a spacious landing with pine floorboards and further full-length glazing, allowing light to flow through. The first and second bedrooms sit to one end of the first floor, both with bespoke wardrobes, great light levels and the leafy curtilage providing a green backdrop. A south-west facing master bedroom with characterful sloped ceilings sits behind a mid-century glass door.
Strawberry Hill is a quiet and peaceful neighbourhood with tree-lined residential streets and a good cluster of local shops and a restaurant. Riverside walks and green spaces are plentiful; Bushey Park, well known for its roaming red and fallow deer and Richmond Park, are both within easy reach. The area has an excellent selection of both state and private schools and St Mary’s University, which sits at the end of Strawberry Hill Road.
