Hedwig House is a beautiful detached Victorian family home of over 3100 Square foot, originating from around 1865, which pleasantly retains many of its original period features and charm. Thoughtfully improved and extended by the current owners, it now offers spacious and comfortable accommodation ideally suited to modern family life.
This exceptional home is offered for sale with no chain located in a highly sought-after residential area, just a short stroll (approximately 0.2 miles) from the mainline station, with direct trains into London St Pancras International in under 20 minutes.
The surrounding area has a lovely “London village” feel, with a fantastic selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and pubs to enjoy. The vibrant city centre is also within easy reach (around 0.5 miles away), offering a wide range of shops, eateries and leisure facilities. Families will appreciate the proximity to several highly regarded primary and secondary schools.
This authentic, locally listed home benefits from the high ceilings typical of the period, along with sash bay windows, ornate coving, original fireplaces, a mosaic tiled hallway floor, and beautiful stained glass and woodwork—features that characterise the era and add to the home’s unique appeal.
You start with a charming storm porch, leading through a stained-glass front door into a grand entrance hall, complete with a beautiful mosaic tiled floor, a wide staircase, original handrail and balustrade. From here, doors lead to the impressive bay-fronted living room, which boasts tall ceilings and a log burner with marble mantle piece. The dining room is equally stunning, with a bay window and window seat, and a feature fireplace with a brick surround and grand marble mantle piece.
To the rear, the large, bespoke fitted kitchen/breakfast room features a substantial central island and double doors opening onto the delightful, landscaped rear garden—perfect for entertaining or enjoying time with family. A cloakroom completes the ground floor.
On the lower ground floor, there is a very useful basement with a window providing natural daylight. This versatile space is ideal as an extra reception room, home office, playroom or even a cinema room.
The stairs rise to a bright first-floor landing from which the principal bedrooms lead. All rooms are spacious and filled with natural light, with attractive period features and fireplaces throughout. The main bedroom is a generous size, while the second bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room. A stylish family bathroom and a separate dressing room complete this level.
Stairs continue up to the second floor, where you’ll find two further generous bedrooms with characterful touches and handy eaves storage.
Outside, the house sits on a prominent corner plot with gardens on three sides. To the front and side, there is a neatly enclosed and low-maintenance paved garden. To the rear, the well-maintained landscaped garden is mainly laid to lawn, with mature trees and shrubs, well-stocked flower borders, and a lovely decked seating area—ideal for relaxing, entertaining or enjoying family time.
Additional benefits include a good-sized detached single garage and a separate converted garage used as a home office/ gym, gravel off-street parking
