An Impressively Proportioned Victorian Family House Within The Prestigious Camden Park

West House is the larger portion of the original
vicarage to St. Peter’s church. It was built in about
1885, and designed by Ewan Christian, the eminent Architect to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, who later designed the National Portrait Gallery in London. The present owners extended the property sympathetically in 2014.

An attractive entrance hall leads to an elegant kitchen with exposed oak beams and a range of handcrafted wooden units (including island) with granite worktops and an Aga. The island incorporates seating for two. The kitchen connects through open arches with the impressive breakfast room. This is flooded with natural light and offers further matching units (including larder) with granite worktops, a log burning stove, and space for a large table. Double doors lead to the main patio and garden. A sizeable utility/laundry room with further units and worktops, and the
garage, are also accessed from the breakfast room.

There are four generous interconnected reception rooms, currently used as a family room, music room, Orangerie (added by Peter Edmondson, in 2010), and drawing room. These rooms flow seamlessly from the entrance hall to the kitchen, providing ideal accommodation for entertaining and stunning views across and access to the gardens. These rooms have many attractive features, including high ceilings and big picture windows, with original functioning fireplaces in the drawing and dining rooms.

Also on the ground floor is a study, cloakroom and
WC.

The staircase leads to an attractive first floor landing, flooded with light from a large leaded window. The principal bedroom suite has a large bay window with Juliet balcony that offers wonderful views over the gardens and park beyond and incorporates a dressing room and en suite shower room with his and hers sinks. There is a family shower room on this floor and three further bedrooms, one with en suite Jack and
Jill access to the shower room, and another with two storage cupboards (one previously used as an en suite shower room).

The second floor has three further bedrooms (one
with a separate en suite shower room and a dressing room), a bright and spacious games room with vaulted ceiling, and a family bathroom.

There is plenty of storage throughout the house,
including a full height boarded attic space and vaulted under stairs wine storage.
