Property description

An exceptional residence which combines history, elegance and grandeur with a luxurious contemporary interior, standing on a generous plot in a prime position within the Harrow on the Hill Conservation Area. Ideally placed for access to London & the City, all London airports and the motorway network as well as extensive educational and leisure amenities, the house is approached through electric gates and across an ample gravel driveway. You are welcomed by an impressive marble-floored entrance hall which immediately conveys a sense of the amply proportioned rooms and high ceilings which continue throughout providing well in excess of 5,000 sq/ft of beautifully finished accommodation which has recently been renovated to exacting modern standards.

Using only the highest quality fittings, this detached 6 bedroom, 4 bathroom Victorian house has been decorated with great flair and a neutral palette to create an elegant, peaceful and welcoming home. The setting affords some fine and far-reaching views to three aspects and the bespoke Mark Wilkinson kitchen/breakfast/family room opens on to an expansive stone terrace and the landscaped gardens beyond with views to the side and rear. Elegant reception rooms are equally suited to family living or entertaining and the sumptuous bedrooms, many with fabulous en-suite facilities and dressing areas, are also most impressive.

Harrow on the Hill is a very desirable area which is perhaps London’s forgotten village, combining the convenience of a fast commute to Central London with a wonderful centuries old atmosphere and delightful architecture protected by Conservation Area status. The historic High Street is in part dominated by the impressive buildings of Harrow School, from where many London landmarks are clearly visible. Nearby schools include Orley Farm Preparatory School for Boys & Girls just minutes walk away plus John Lyon School for senior boys, with many other choices within easy reach across Pinner and Northwood

A number of coffee bars, shops, pubs and restaurants mean there is little reason to venture away, but Harrow town centre at the foot of the Hill provides for every need with 2 covered shopping centres, a choice of major supermarkets and a multi-screen Vue Cinema. There are many excellent private, state and church schools here as well as parks, golf courses and open spaces to enjoy. Easy access to the major road network and all London airports plus a choice of Metropolitan, Chiltern and Piccadilly Line stations combine to make this an uncommonly well connected place and an excellent lifestyle choice.

There is also a large garage, gymnasium, utility room, guest cloakroom and plenty of driveway parking behind secure gates whilst the high specification further includes;

From here, wide stone steps lead on to the main lawn with a tall hedgerow bordering a field to one side and mature trees around. A large additional feature terrace is ideally situated towards the far end of the garden, where you can enjoy the sun all day and which could yet be partially covered if you wished. A garden of great interest which completes the desirable setting.
