Lavender Gardens, London SW11

Set behind an attractive front garden, the house opens into a welcoming entrance hall immediately showcasing the elegant proportions found throughout. To the left of the hall is an impressive formal reception room, featuring wooden floors, a striking fireplace and bespoke built-in cabinetry. Japanese sliding doors lead through to a second reception room, currently arranged as a home office, with fitted storage, a further fireplace and French doors.

A generous dining room to the right of the hallway provides extensive storage and a beautiful bay window which leads to the kitchen/breakfast room. Designed for both family living and entertaining, the kitchen features contemporary cabinetry and a comprehensive range of integrated Miele appliances, including two full-size dishwashers. A cloakroom and coat cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open onto a spectacular 45ft west-facing garden which can also be accessed from the lower ground floor. The garden provides a large patio area perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining, as well as a recreational area equipped with a large wooden climbing frame, swings, monkey-bars and a tree house.

The lower ground floor provides a wonderful family area with an array of entertaining space. A striking cantilevered oak staircase leads down to a substantial area originally designed as an indoor football pitch, with folding doors that can be closed to create a squash court-style sports room. Opposite, the superb family room features a drop-down cinema screen and a raised bay-window seating area that doubles as a stage for children's plays. Extensive bespoke storage is integrated throughout. The family room flows into a stylish built-in bar area, ideal for entertaining on a larger scale. To the rear of this level are a spacious utility room, an additional bedroom and a bathroom, perfectly suited to guests, older children or a nanny.

The first floor provides three excellent double bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from a walk-in dressing room with bespoke fitted cabinetry and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and generous walk-in shower. A second room, currently used as a family media room complete with library shelving and fitted furniture, could equally serve as a bedroom. A further double bedroom and family bathroom complete this floor.

Occupying the entire second floor are four further double bedrooms, all with fitted wardrobes, together with a generous shower room and useful eaves storage..
