5 bed end terrace house for sale

Frithville Gardens, London W12

This smartly dressed, five-bedroom house sits end-of-terrace on Frithville Gardens, a tree-lined street minutes from Shepherd's Bush Market station. A sleek stock-brick extension stretches out at the rear and houses a bright kitchen, dining and living space that opens onto a generous garden. The street is well positioned for transport links across the city and for exploring the nearby neighbourhoods of Notting Hill and Hammersmith.

The Tour

The house is set back from the street by a low wall topped with a smart copper beech hedge. Its façade is distinguished from its neighbours by deep grey-painted stucco detailing - a dramatic counterpoint to its stock-brick silhouette.

Inside is a hallway that runs along the depth of the plan, capturing views into the kitchen to the garden beyond. Here and throughout, Farrow and Ball paints have been thoughtfully applied.

On one side, a dining and reception room have been opened up to one another. Both spaces are defined by three-metre-high ceilings and elegant fireplaces, and the reception room has a broad bay window to the front. All windows on the front façade have been updated to include acoustic double glazing. Engineered oak floorboards connect the two spaces to the kitchen at the rear.

The bespoke sage-green kitchen, from Handmade Kitchens of Christchurch, represents a contemporary take on traditional shaker cabinetry. Thoughtful details include larder and breakfast cupboards, brushed-brass hardware, integrated appliances and a Smeg range. A broad central island is wrapped in Carrara arabescato marble to match the primary countertop and backsplash. A neat WC completes the ground-floor plan and is tucked beneath the stairs.

The first floor is home to the spacious primary bedroom, well lit by both a bay and sash window and with bespoke joinery and a marble-clad fireplace.

Next door, a pristine bathroom has been finished with Calacatta marble floor tiles. It has a walk-in shower, along with a gentle blue-grey freestanding bath, oak vanity from Parker Howley & Co, and polished-brass tapware, ironmongery and heated towel rail.

To the rear, a guest bedroom/study has views out to the garden. The walls have been finished with a soft taupe which sits elegantly alongside the warm-toned flooring in every bedroom.

Two further bedrooms share a bathroom on the floor above. There is a shower over the integrated bath here, along with a dramatic Viola Arabescato marble flooring.

The top floor hosts a bright and flexible space that spans the depth of the building. The ceiling is vaulted and there is a well-appointed en suite bathroom.

Outdoor Space

Crittall-style windows open out from the kitchen onto a west-facing terrace. Large format quartz stone tiles run underfoot across a dining area, and pinewood decking steps up to create an outdoor lounge area. A low brick wall has been topped with horizontal matching slatted timber fencing that wraps around either side of the garden. At the far end, the stock brickwork rises up to full height, forming an integrated planter densely planted with bamboo.
