The Orchard, London

Individual and exceptionally elegant Grade II listed detached house featuring a magnificent drawing room, a grand sweeping staircase, a detached garage, and a stunning private garden.

An imposing detached family house, built around 1880 and attributed to architect Norman Shaw, this unique house is situated on one of Bedford Park’s most coveted locations. It has been owned by the same family for over half a century. The architecture is stunning, featuring a stepped gable roof and an array of wonderful period features.

This exceptional house occupies one of the best addresses in Bedford Park’s conservation area. It offers many unique attributes and a wealth of period features. These include the incredibly spacious drawing room with beautiful original leaded pained windows, one of which occupies a large bay. Off this is the conservatory, providing access to the large and very private mature garden. The principal bedroom was formerly an artist studio with galleried areas overlooking this magnificent space.

Upon entering the house, you are immediately welcomed by a large and wonderful hallway with a unique sweeping staircase that connects the three floors, setting the scene for the grand proportions throughout. To the side is a detached garage, and off-street parking is available. Subject to necessary planning and legal consents, the house could be altered and potentially extended.
