Property description
Located within walking distance of Stanmore Common, this extensive apartment is situated on the ground floor of a Grade II-listed building which was built circa 1760.
The apartment has approval to completely renovate and remodel, to create a lavish two bedroom, two bathroom home of 1,379 sq. ft.
As a refurbished property, it will feature a large separate kitchen/dining area and a generous main reception room with a 16 ft. ceiling and original mouldings. The reception room and kitchen/dining will both have stunning views of the surrounding grounds.
Steeped in history, Hill House was originally known as the 'The Great House' and was briefly used as the base for a school started in 1771 by Dr. Samuel Parr. The years between 1859 and 1892 were particularly auspicious, with Hill House being considered one of the most important houses in Great Stanmore. At this time it was owned by Charles Fortnum, a well-known art and butterfly collector who was a member of the Fortnum & Mason family. The Second World War saw the property being used by the RAF as a satellite of nearby Bentley Priory, where top secret operations into Europe were planned.
With its rich history, Hill House has immense potential and after refurbishment the result is bound to be a charming, character-filled home perfectly suited to young professionals or those looking to downsize.
The property is truly unique with its own private verandah and the apartment is set in extensive, secluded grounds which feature a large pond to the rear. Extremely peaceful, the gardens are a key attraction of the property.
Stanmore is a leafy, tranquil suburb in North-West London situated between Edgware and Bushey. The last stop on the Jubilee line, a journey to Bond Street from Stanmore takes 31 minutes.
As an area Stanmore boasts an abundance of greenery, charming commons and acres of Green Belt. It is one of North West London's most desirable areas due to its boutique cafes, shopping facilities, and location to prominent state and private schools which include Haberdashers' Aske's, North London Collegiate, St. Margaret's, and Stanmore College.
