4 bed detached house for sale

Crown Street, Harrow On The Hill HA2

This four-bedroom mid-century house lies in the sought-after village of Harrow on the Hill. Exceptionally generous, it extends to over 2,200 sq ft across three levels and has a well-established garden with a separate studio at its rear. Original features are in abundance and include pine shiplap ceilings, exposed brick and an open-tread staircase.

The Tour

Discreetly set back from the street on a secluded plot, the house is accessed from a shared driveway. The façade is understated, with clean lines and whitewashed walls that contrast with exposed brick and large glass panelling.

Past the main door (which retains its original glass panelling), the entrance hall is the central node of the ground floor. Wood laminate runs before an open-tread staircase that allows seamless transition between the living spaces and bedrooms.

Straight ahead, the hall gives way to a generous reception area encompassing the dining and sitting rooms. Double-height shiplap ceilings and exposed brickwork lend texture in the dining room; bi-fold doors on one side provide easy passage to a raised, partially covered timber decked area outside. The floors are fitted with carpet that extends to the bright sitting room. A north-west-facing window frames leafy views of the garden.

To the left of the hallway is a spacious modern kitchen and breakfast room, well-organised with streamlined white units topped by quartz worktop which extends to a backsplash on one wall with stainless-steel used on the others. There is a stainless-steel Rangemaster oven and integrated appliances. At its centre, the large island is complete with built-in wine storage. High ceilings and a skylight further the impression of openness, while the utility room adjacent to the kitchen offers additional storage space and a mezzanine area ideal for a study or reading nook.

There are four bedrooms, two of which lie on the ground floor. The principal bedroom has high ceilings, a mezzanine, and access to a private patio. The second bedroom has an en suite with a shower.

There are two further bedrooms on the first floor, with exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and the iconic 900 year old St Mary's Church spire. The family bathroom is accessed from the landing and has a shower over bath and mosaic tiles in pastel tones.

Outside Space

The dining room opens into a large, raised area at the back of the house, creating easy flow between indoors and out and a perfect setting for barbecue dinners.A short set of steps descends into the wonderfully spacious and well-maintained garden, which is bordered by mature trees, tall hedges and shrubs that provide privacy. The deep and wide lawn offers plenty of room for play.

A detached studio/office with French doors lies within the garden. It is insulated and powered, ideal for working undisturbed year round. It has its own deck, sheltered by a pergola. An additional storage area can be accessed through the studio or through a separate door at the front of the building.

A further storage area at the end of the driveway also has heating and power. There is more storage beneath a lean-to at the side of the house.
