Floor and Garden
The
front garden, behind a traditional palisade fence with four finial-topped
brick piers, is partly paved with york stone, part brick and part
tiled. It is planted with climbers, evergreens and shrubs. The side
drive can accommodate at least two cars. Queen Annes Grove
is a quiet, tree-lined road with very little traffic.
The
double area hall has original glazing in the front door and in
two windows. There is a guest cloakroom and cupboard under the
stairs.
The 3 large inter-communicating reception rooms, all 11' (3.35m)
high, have the original cornices and, from two of the rooms, french
doors to the patio
and garden. The original wooden floors throughout have been sanded,
sealed and bleached. There are two fireplaces - one for an open
fire, one with the original surround which has a gas-coal fire
and a french enamel Godin stove in the third.
The
kitchen has white marble surfaces and old pine cupboards, a tiled
floor and a pretty west-facing window onto the garden.
A small pantry leads to the utility/garage with a french door
to the garden, a tiled floor, teak tops, plenty of cupboards and
wine storage.
The west-facing rear garden has a tiled, sunny patio with a magnolia
grandiflora and french doors from 2 reception rooms. The garden
is well stocked with mature evergreens, shrubs, and perrenials.
There is a small greenhouse, a timber- framed workshop and a very
popular bird bath.
First Floor
The stairs lead up to a spacious landing with a long window.
The west-facing study has double french doors to a large roof
terrace with a palisade fence.
The
music room/bedroom has an original working fireplace, fitted cupboard
and bookcase and a large ultra violet treated window.
The large bedroom with tall windows in a square bay has an en
suite bathroom which has a second door leading to the landing.
Off the landing, a separate, fully-equipped compact kitchen has
been installed, as well as a capacious cupboard housing the central
heating boiler.
Second Floor
The whole floor is laid out as a comfortable flat. In addition,
there is a wooden ladder from the landing to the boarded-out loft
which has a built-in sauna and much storage space.
The living room which was originally two rooms and could easily
be re-converted, has a tiled kitchen at one end, dormer windows
into a bay and a period fire surround with a gas coal fire.

the gardens and trees.
The mirrored bathroom with bath/shower, loo, bidet and basin also

About the
Area
Bedford
Park is a very special, quiet, leafy and architecturally homogeonous
estate built in the late 1870s after the advent of the District
Line to West London. The original houses and public buildings
in this conservation area are listed grade II and are built in
the Aesthetic Movement manner so loved by Norman Shaw. It maintains
its artistic and cultural traditions which culminate annually
in a 2-week long summer festival of music, art photography, all-the-fun-of-the-fair
and childrens events organised by St Michael and All Angels
Church.
Chiswick High Road, with its wide pavements and continental cafe
atmosphere has numerous specialist shops, restaurants and supermarkets.
Access to Central London via Hammersmith or Shepherds Bush
is straightforward; the 94 bus follows the Roman road to Notting
Hill and Oxford Street. Turnham Green station is five minutes'
walk and is served by the District Line and, during off-peak hours,
by the Piccadilly. The M4, M3 and M40 motorways are easily accessible.
The large family houses in Bedford Park have attracted city and
locally employed executives and their families. There are excellent
private and state primary schools in Bedford Park and access to
some of London's premier secondary schools (St Paul's, Latimer,
Godolphin, Westminster) is not difficult.
The whole area has a distinctly village atmosphere with its own
small but busy Post Office, attractive pub - the Tabard which
has beautiful Wiliam de Morgan tiles; St Michael and All Angels
church caters for the most exacting spiritual needs as well as
being the musical and cultural focal point in the area for those
lucky enough to live in the area. |
