Location

Brentford itself is undergoing an exciting transformation. The historic square and former marketplace, developed in the 1680s by William Parish, landlord of the Red Lion Inn, adds further character to the setting.

A new shopping parade on the town's southern side introduces a variety of retail options, blending familiar high street names with fresh, independent shops. Highlights include an Everyman Cinema showcasing both classic and contemporary films. Trusted favourites such as Gail's Bakery, Sam's Waterside, and Sam's Larder add to the appeal as well as brand-new supermarkets. The Brentford Project, a new residential development along the riverside, is revitalizing this proud West London town. With a seamless connection from the waterfront to the High Street, it is fostering a vibrant community focused on wellbeing, independent makers, live music, art and waterside activities.

Brentford Station is located approximately 0.2 miles from the house and provides regular services to London Waterloo, with journey times of circa 30 minutes. Boston Manor underground station is approximately 1 mile from the house served by the Piccadilly line.

The property is also situated conveniently close to Chiswick, Kew and Richmond. The area is served by excellent schools including Orchard House, St Paul's, Notting Hill and Ealing, Laytmer along with a range of highly regarded state and international secondary schools.

Description

This breathtaking eight bedroom detached house offers refined entertaining and family living space across several reception rooms, each with its own unique character boasting a wealth of original features.

The home showcases an unusually wide staircase, expansive sash windows capturing beautiful views of the conservation area and creates an abundance of light throughout, alongside solid oak floorboards, and many original feature working fireplaces. The property has been thoughtfully extended to include additional living and bedroom areas, along with a striking architect-designed heated swimming pool with spa facilities, enclosed behind glass doors that open onto a beautifully mature and peaceful large landscaped garden.

Remarkably quiet and peaceful, this east-west facing home benefits from sunlight throughout the day. Its walled garden is truly stunning, secluded yet open, with mature planting and exquisite landscaping that creates private tranquillity.

Situated in the renowned Butts conservation area, a hidden enclave of London featuring a collection of mainly 17th and 18th-century homes steeped in history, the area enjoys a fascinating heritage. Julius Caesar is famously commemorated for crossing the Thames at Brentford, while John Wilkes championed parliamentary reform here, and J.M.W. Turner, England's renowned painter, once lived nearby.

The name 'The Butts' originates from medieval times when the land was set aside for archery practice as the 2nd Medieval Archery Law passed in 1363 made it obligatory for Englishmen to practise their skills with the longbow every Sunday.

The Butts also borders the basin of the Grand Union Canal, offering picturesque walking routes.
