For Sale4 Bedroom Townhouse in Cornwall Road, London, SE1£1,850,000

A beautifully presented four double bedroom townhouse Located in a quiet oasis, only stone’s throw from London’s bustling South Bank and international transport links. This attractive Victorian four bedroom house (1,384 sq ft) has remained in the same ownership since 1995. Over the years the design has seen considerable transformation, remodelling, modernisation and extension. The original period property, set over four floors, has been sympathetically modernised with intelligent interior design adding contemporary architectural extensions to two floors. They have been designed around enlarged glazed openings, to best capture light and views over the rear courtyard garden. A pleasant front garden separates the entrance porch from the pavement, surrounded by a mature beech hedge and wrought iron railings enhancing one’s privacy. A welcoming hall leads into a large open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room (12.5m x 4.35m). A fully fitted kitchen has integrated Miele appliances including dishwasher, double oven and warming drawer. The stained birch wood and brass-fronted wall and base units provide plenty of useful storage, topped by low maintenance Richlite work surfaces. The contemporary design is balanced by colourful reclaimed Italian floor and handmade wall tiles. The addition of a five-ring gas hob is key for those who enjoy cooking and entertaining. A galley hall dining area with inbuilt wine storage can accommodate an eight-person dining table, flowing onto the spacious sitting room, rebuilt in 2012 to accommodate an additional floor above. The sitting room has sufficient scale to comfortably accommodate large soft furnishings and cabinetry. This broad room has lantern ceiling cross section, allowing plenty of natural light and ambience, in addition to bi-fold doors which open completely onto the rear courtyard garden. A wooden deck affords the perfect setting for outside dining. An electric awning offers shade across this sunny area, as required. Shallow steps lead down to a lower tiled courtyard area with mature flowering borders and planters. To the rear of the entrance hall is a cloak/shower wet room, beautifully presented with mosaic wall tiling and underfloor heating. A hand built staircase with full height oak balustrade leads to the first floor landing and principal double bedroom en suite. This room forms part of the extension, adding a lantern ceiling vestibule with sliding doors opening onto an external balcony, with a powered awning - the perfect setting for morning coffee and newspapers. The en-suite bathroom has both bath/shower fittings and underfloor heating, with Jack and Jill doors also allowing entry from the landing. The front-facing double bedroom has fitted wardrobe storage, making an ideal dressing room, if required. The first and second floor front bedrooms have double sash windows with secondary glazing, and pleasant views towards St John’s Church and a pocket park. A second turning staircase leads to two further double bedrooms, one currently being used as a home study. The front bedroom was recently completely refurbished with new windows, reclaimed Douglas Fir floorboards, claypaint walls, a wash hand basin and fitted cupboards.
