Rare detached double fronted Bedford Park elegance
Marlborough Crescent is a rare opportunity to own a Grade II Listed Bedford Park detached house. Attributed to the renowned architect Norman Shaw, this double-fronted detached house dates back to circa 1880 and embodies the charm of Queen Anne revival architecture in the heart of Bedford Park conservation area. This special house is set behind attractive palisade fencing and a mature, well-planted front garden.
Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a wide entrance hallway leading to the gorgeous reception room with a feature fireplace and original stained glass windows. A dining room sits the other side of the hallway and a calm relaxing further reception/library to the back overlooking the mature garden complete the ground floor. Spanning an impressive width, the garden is a tranquil space created over many years of careful planting. It's perfect for al fresco dining or family enjoyment. Access to the garden is also possible via the side of the house, currently covered to store bikes and gardening equipment.
The ground level also includes a well-appointed eat-in kitchen with access to the garden, utility room, garage, and a convenient downstairs WC.
Ascending the staircase, you'll find seven generously proportioned bedrooms spread over two floors. Five of these are on the first floor, with two currently serving as versatile studies. A family bathroom and shower room complete this level. The second floor houses two additional bedrooms and a bathroom, along with an abundance of under eaves storage in both rooms and across the landing.
Situated on Marlborough Crescent, a sought after quiet street within Bedford Park, this residence enjoys proximity to St. Michael & All Angels Church. It's also close to the bustling amenities of Chiswick, including Turnham Green Terrace, Chiswick High Road, and Devonshire Road. Here, you'll find a variety of boutique shops, independent restaurants, bakeries, and coffee shops. Turnham Green station (District Line) is approximately 0.3 miles, and a bus route connects you to Piccadilly, providing seamless connectivity to Central London and beyond. Additionally, Heathrow Airport, the A4/M4, and the M40 are all conveniently accessible.
In the surrounding area, you'll find esteemed independent schools like Orchard House and Chiswick & Bedford Park. Large green open spaces, such as Chiswick House and Grounds, and the River Thames are also easily accessible. This makes it the perfect family home.
