Grosvenor Road, London, UK, SW1V

A rare opportunity to purchase a freehold house with the most incredible views over the River Thames towards Battersea Power Station. The house has been in the same ownership for nearly 30 years and offers an incoming purchaser the chance to put their own stamp on this truly magnificent central London property.

Nestled amongst this pretty late Regency-era small terrace of houses this incredible family home offers the most amazing vista over the river and on towards Battersea Power Station. When inside one is cocooned in tranquillity and the house offers fabulous light throughout as well as privacy and security.

Accessed through the splendid front garden the accommodation currently offers a kitchen and dining room on the raised ground floor with balcony to the rear, first floor reception room, master bedroom and bathroom upstairs and two bedrooms on the lower floor with a utility room, storage and further bathroom on the half landing. The Italianate courtyard garden to the rear is quiet and has a delightful water feature.

Full of original features typical of the period the house has a wrought iron veranda, Cuban mahogany banister rails, slender lambs tongue glazing bars on the sash windows and cornices and mouldings galore. The first occupant was reputed to be a Thames tug captain who, in pre-embankment days, tied up his boat at his door; a later resident was a British ambassador to Washington. The late Lord Snowdon described the house as a "late Regency haven of human-scale architecture".

Ideally located for Pimlico underground and a short walk to Victoria and Sloane Square and with the 24 bus stop close by the house is easily accessible whilst still feeling as secluded as one can in the most central of London locations.
