Positioned in an enviable location on St Peters Road within the Trust Grounds is this striking architect-designed contemporary style house set back from the road and concealed behind an attractive brick facade. The house was originally designed by the respected GLC architect, David Wisdom in 1954 and in 2000 it was comprehensively re-designed and enlarged by the owners with the help of award-winning architects Boyarsky Murphy resulting in an innovative and functional home utilising the full potential of natural light.

The house, which is 2863 sq ft gross internal, is set over three principal floors interlinked by a centrally positioned cantilevered staircase. Entering on the ground floor the entrance hallway affords a view straight through to the garden and has a glass ceiling increasing the natural light. There is a spacious living room running the length of the house. opening to the garden through concertina glass doors, a rec room, a timeless custom-made kitchen and a floor-to-ceiling glass-walled dining room with an oculus, which has been featured in numerous architectural and design media. The aim of the design especially on the ground floor was to seamlessly bring the garden into the house and vice-versa. The first floor consists of three double bedrooms, two of which have direct access to a private terrace, a bathroom and a laundry room that could easily be adapted to provide either a further bathroom or indeed a further bedroom. The whole second floor is an indulgent master bedroom suite with verdant views through folding Becker doors over the Trust Grounds and clerestory windows affording views towards the heavens. To the front of the house is off-street parking and a particularly attractive magnolia tree; the front facade is adorned by wisteria. To the rear of the house is a Japanese-inspired lawned and decked garden with an insulated artist's studio. The rear garden leads across a bridged stream directly to the Trust Grounds - a delightful rural oasis in the midst of a lively London neighbourhood.
