Location

Lonsdale Road sits in the heart of Bedford Park, London's first garden suburb and Chiswick's most sought-after enclave. It is approximately 0.5 miles from the excellent shops, boutiques and restaurants of central Chiswick, and approximately 0.3 miles to Turnham Green Underground station (District Line). Central London and Heathrow (A4 / M4) are accessible, as are several l schools such as Belmont Primary School approximately 0.3 miles away and Orchard House School, approximately 0.2 miles away.

Bedford Park, London's first garden suburb, was built between 1875 and 1886 as part of the Arts & Crafts revival. Victorian property developer Jonathan Carr instructed lead architect Richard Norman Shaw (alongside EJ May, W Wilson and EW Godwin) in the building of a collection of houses and studios that now form a conservation area and are for the most part Grade II listed. Many of these houses feature elements of styling from William Morris, to whose legacy is dedicated the William Morris Society at Kelmscott House on Upper Mall.

Description

A beautifully proportioned, double-fronted semi-detached family home situated in the heart of Bedford Park, with potential for further extension subject to planning consent (planning lapsed in 2025).

Upon entering, the bright and spacious hallway sets the tone for the generous scale and well-balanced layout that continues throughout the house. At the front, a superb dual-aspect double reception room features a striking square bay window, an impressive period fireplace, and direct access to the garden. Adjacent is an additional reception room, also benefiting from a large square bay window that floods the space with natural light. The well fitted kitchen flows through to a welcoming dining area with access and views of the garden. A covered side passage runs from the front of the house to the garden, and the ground floor further provides a separate cloakroom and access to the cellar.

The first floor hosts the principal bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom and dressing area. Two further generous bedrooms and a family shower room complete this level. The second floor offers two additional large bedrooms and a further bathroom completing this wonderful family home. High ceilings and charming period features enhance the character of this attractive home, perfectly positioned within the highly desirable Bedford Park Conservation area.
