  • A beautifully presented Grade II Listed Regency family home occupying a prime central position providing luxury accommodation and a landscaped north-west facing walled garden. No 33 Lexden Road has retained its original elegant classical Regency features associated with its period of architecture, including beautifully proportioned large windows and high ceilings, original cornicing and plasterwork and its marble fireplaces.

There is a cloakroom and by the rear staircase access can be gained to a former stable block converted to provide a utility room, a garage and a walk-in storage room. To the lower ground floor is a bespoke kitchen/family room fitted with bespoke units, workspace and appliances which is elegant in its simplicity. Beyond is a further reception room and completing this level is a wine cellar (with additional area for large fridge and freezer) and a walk-in pantry.

    An elegant staircase leads to the first floor providing five bedrooms and a luxury family bathroom. Two of the rooms provide en suite facilities.
