Built in the early 18th century, 356 Kew Road is a captivating example of Georgian architecture. The classically designed facade with beautifully regimented fenestration is complemented by its internal features; both are protected by its Grade-II-listed status. Of particular note is the elegant first-floor drawing room, which overlooks Kew Gardens and features a meticulous mid-18th century plastered ceiling with agricultural motifs by Francis Engelhardt.
Furthermore, the generous windows and open aspects lend an excellent flow of natural light to this distinctive property. The rear of the house has been sensitively re-designed and extended to provide a stunning kitchen/family room overlooking the private back garden. There is a real depth of quality to the refurbishment and design whereby the atmosphere of the house has been enhanced with modern amenities, such as under floor heating to the kitchen area. The lateral layout of the rooms is warm and idiosyncratic, lending the house as well to family life as it does to more formal entertaining. At the end of the garden there is a double garage for additional off-street parking.
Local schools enjoy an exceptional reputation and are considered amongst the best in the country. The house is just half a mile from Kew Village and even closer to Kew Green, whose delightful open spaces provide an ideal retreat from the hubbub of daily life.
