On the market for only the second time in more than 60 years is this stunning detached, early twentieth century house with great character and charm. Originally built in 1928, the property was sympathetically extended in 2007. The Squirrels is situated within a conservation area in one of the most sought after roads on Harrow on The Hill and was previously the home of Kenneth Connor MBE, the famous British comedy and Shakespearean actor.
This fine Arts and Crafts property comprises five bedrooms, five bathrooms (incl a wet room with an Indonesian handmade tile floor) and four reception rooms – one with double height ceiling. Many original Edwardian features have been retained including some high quality panelling, exposed beams; open fireplaces, tiled floors and leaded light windows. The expansive Smallbone kitchen was created from five of the original rooms. Separate utility room leading on to the boiler room. Triple aspect study/office which overlooks the garden plus a wine cellar.
To the rear of the property a vaulted breakfast room and oak panelled family room open onto the secluded garden. There is private access to the family room and en-suite bedroom above with Juliet balcony which could work well as a granny annexe.
