About this property

  • Designed by the world renowned architect Sir Terry Farrell CBE, Drum House is an exceptional modernist home that has been the subject of two exquisite refurbishment programmes, completed first in 2018 and again in 2021. There is a real depth of quality and thoughtfulness to the remedial works; most recently including the installation of a beautiful Officine Gullo kitchen, a wine room and the creation of independent staff accommodation and garden kitchen on the roof.

    Totalling an impressive 7241 square feet the house has a wonderful lateral footprint and is arranged over just two levels, with uncluttered and exciting spaces really emphasising the magnificent room proportions.

    Built in 2004 Drum House nestles idyllically and discretely in a private gated enclave, accessed from River Lane.

    The layout of the house has a fantastic flow, with a real emphasis on natural light, privacy and the creation of a seamless blend between the outside and inside.

    Further features of particular note include the beautifully designed and well established gardens created by John Sallis Chandler - a multiple gold medal winner at The Chelsea Flower Show, the double height gallery (running the full length of the house) that greets you immediately upon entering the property, and last but not least the simply stunning drawing room with its wonderful aspects and cube like proportions.

Drum House has a magical atmosphere and somehow manages to combine dramatic and exciting spaces with a homely feel. I have seen and sold many exclusive properties in South West London and this truly is 'best in class'. A modernist classic that really captures Sir Terry Farrell's vision of privacy and inside/outside living
