A wonderful London villa in a mature garden.

1870s villa set in plantsmen’s garden. Set back from a wide street in a garden with gravel paths, and offstreet parking. The front is original and in part covered by a pale climbing rose,while the back has large steel framed windows.

The interiors are a full synthesis of old and new. It also includes its own pole dancing pole!

On the ground floor, off the large entrance hall ,a tobacco coloured, leather floored dining room, seating 16, leads to a white modern stainless steel floored kitchen; this in turn opens out onto a terrace which looks over  the densely planted garden behind the house. A ballroom drawing office opens off the other side of the stair hall with its stone floor and coral carpet.

On the first floor, a book lined landing opens on one side to a large white understated bedroom with light from east and west; and on the other to a royal blue study lined with books and display boxes with shells under a glass floor flanked by a sunken bath.

The entire second floor is the drawing room which has steel bookcases, stainless steel mesh sliding screens, leather cupboards, a cabinet of curiosities and a working fireplace.

The large garden is fully planted with 2500 tulips in the spring, roses, and Dahlias among exotic foliage later in the year.  The geodetic dome greenhouse has a collection of succulents and exotics. The garden has different levels with several terraces. Some terraces have outdoor showers.
