RICHMOND'S INDEPENDENT ESTATE AGENT FOR THE DISCERNING HOUSE BUYER
All majesty and scale, both inside and out, this outstanding flat makes quite the statement.
The gorgeous, lofty Victorian building of architectural merit is set within a substantial verdant plot and set back from a most attractive tree-lined avenue, giving the overall impression of genteel exclusivity.
Whilst the layout of the rooms is unconventional it really works and gives the space great character. The heart of this home is a spacious hexagonal hall from which most of the rooms span. From here, the grace and splendour of the flat become apparent, nowhere more so than in the spectacular living room - certainly amongst the largest we've encountered, with great panoramic bay windows adding to the sense of grandeur.
So, full dolce vita then? Yes, living here would feel very special indeed. The vibe is luxurious and refined. The current decor, with more than a hint of Parisian Bohemian, is perfectly suited to the building's intrinsic drama and elegance.
Ceilings are high, original features are intact and include a wonderful original parquet floor. Thankfully, the authenticity of this home has been retained and the process of graceful ageing has lent a gentle warmth that will, no doubt, appeal to the sensibilities of the next owner.
Finally, English suffragette Emily Davison, known for her fearless campaigning for votes for women, also evidently possessed a strong sense of style: records indicate that she lived here between 1910 and 1912.
