The relationship between the house and garden is one of the property’s defining qualities. The end-of-terrace position provides additional width, side access and a greater sense of openness than many comparable houses in the area. The garden is set below neighbouring levels, creating an unusual degree of privacy while allowing the rear elevation to accommodate full-height sliding glass doors stretch across the rear elevation, dissolving the boundary between inside and out and creating an effortless connection with the garden. Cleverly tucked out of site behind a feature door sits a separate fully equipped utility room. One of the property’s rarest features is the substantial lower-ground floor. Naturally lit from three sides and with ceiling heights of over nine feet, this expansive level feels bright, usable and fully connected to the rest of the house. Currently arranged as a gym, studio, games room and family retreat, with a shower room, kitchenet and extensive integrated storage, it offers a level of flexibility rarely found in comparable homes in Chiswick. Given the conservation-area context and current planning environment, a basement of this scale and quality is unlikely to be easily replicated today. The first floor provides three well-proportioned bedrooms, including one with its own ensuite double shower room. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. Bespoke joinery continues throughout, including antique Japanese doors incorporated into one of the bedrooms, reflecting the same individuality and attention to detail found across the rest of the house.
