Why you’ll like it:

The Willett Estate is characterised by statuesque Victorian homes designed by renowned architect William Willett in the latter half of the 19th Century. Sitting on wide, tree-lined avenues, each property has an ornate facade in yellow gault brick, with exquisite architectural features picked out in cream. This generous apartment is formed from the ground floor of a semi-detached villa, so it bears the generous proportions of the era and benefits from its own private and gated street entrance to the side and sole access to the garden.

Stepping first into the kitchen and dining room, the natural light and scale of the property becomes apparent. This is a room which invites both family suppers and entertaining with a spacious kitchen area and a dining area to seat six or eight comfortably. There is also a sweet breakfast bar for informal drinks and dining alongside a streamlined kitchen in white with solid oak worktops and integrated appliances which include a fridge freezer, oven, hob and a dishwasher. The butler sink has been perfectly cut-in, and space has been left for a freestanding washing machine.

Each of the other rooms reside from here with the principal bedroom to the front of the property with a wide bay window looking out over the green of the front garden. Facing east, gentle light filters in to wake you in the morning – although blinds are fitted to allow for weekend lie-ins. There is ample space in here for a king size bed and several pieces of bedroom furniture and the neutral décor of engineered wood flooring and white walls will suit all styles. This room has access to an en suite shower room in white, while bedroom two has easy access to the second bathroom which is also classically styled in white with a shower over the bath.

Bedroom two is a double room with space for a home office and a single bed, or a double bed and furnishings depending on need. Peacefully positioned to the rear of the building it is incredibly tranquil, so it is a lovely for both working from home and sleeping.

With style, space and glorious views of the garden, the main reception room is inviting and homely with room for sumptuous furnishings and entertaining friends. Once again, the decoration is immaculate with wood floors and a feature wall of designer paper which adds both colour and interest to the room. During the warmer seasons, guests can spill out to the garden which more than doubles the entertaining space and is lush and green on both sides, fringed with tropical palms and mature borders adding to the feeling of privacy.

Agent’s thoughts:

The garden, location, size and style of this property are going to attract many – so we do not expect it to sit on the market for long.

Owners’ thoughts:

“The evening light is beautiful as it comes into the sitting room across the garden, and even though we are close to the beach here, having our own outside space is a real treat. The commute is also incredibly easy from here as you can be in London in just over an hour door to door.”
