5 bed property for sale

Willoughby House, King Street, London W6, United Kingdom

Description

Originally designed by John Willoughby, Willoughby House is an iconic Hammersmith home that perfectly combines original architectural charm with bold, high-end contemporary interiors. Overlooking Ravenscourt Park, the property is distinguished by its sculptural staircase, fireplaces, sash windows, and exquisite wood panelling, creating a striking backdrop for its innovative design.

A vaulted entrance hall on the ground floor leads to an open-plan kitchen and dining area, which sits beneath a stylish conservatory-like structure, feeling both connected to the outside and sheltered within. Sliding glass doors open onto a large patio, which steps up to an expansive private landscaped garden with a versatile outbuilding suitable as a studio. Also on this level is a state-of-the-art home gym, a bedroom with generous storage, a utility room with a Clive Christian worktop and a bathroom, allowing for flexible family living.

The first floor is devoted entirely to three distinct reception spaces, including a former artist’s studio, each with incredible attention to detail, including fireplaces, wood panelling and a bar area, alongside an exquisitely finished Arabescato marble bathroom to serve the floor.

The second floor houses the principal suite, complete with a vast bedroom, a sumptuous marble ensuite and a dressing room that opens onto a private balcony. Another bedroom on this floor includes extensive built-in storage. The third floor comprises two further ensuite bedrooms, one with a walk-in cupboard and the other with access to a small terrace.

This wonderful family residence also includes a patio with a built-in outdoor kitchen and Argentine grill, along with secure, gated off-street parking for two cars at the front. Overlooking Ravenscourt Park, the home carries the character of a countryside retreat within a prominent London address.

Situated on King Street, between Hammersmith and Chiswick, the home is close to the independent boutiques and restaurants of Chiswick High Road, the green expanses of Ravenscourt Park and the Thames River Path. Ravenscourt Park Station is very close, providing excellent connections into central London, while the secure gated driveway offers off-street parking for two cars. There are a number of highly regarded schools nearby, including Latymer Upper School and Prep schools, St Peter’s CofE Primary and Ravenscourt Park Prep School. The property also offers easy access to Central London via the A4 and to Heathrow and the west of England via the M4/M25..
