5 bed terraced house for sale

Sumner Place, London SW7

A beautifully refurbished town house that was the subject of a 'back to brickwork' restoration by award winning architect Seth Stein, to include the rebuilding of the previous unsightly rear extension. This modern masterpiece is built over two storeys and is accessed from the raised ground and lower ground floor of the original house with a small garden of birch trees in the middle. Connected by a sculptural rear staircase that resembles a sea shell that is both tactile and beautiful, this modern space has a fantastic feeling of scale and light and is cleverly juxtaposed against the original house.

The remainder of the house is beautifully original, but beneath the traditional detail lies state of the art technology and functionality.

The kitchen dining room, living room and the principle suite have a generous full floor each allowing light at different times of the day. Original details like cornices and the working shutters on the full height doors to the balcony have been restored. No radiators can be seen, just a perfectly warmed wide timber plank floor that is perfectly level without a creak. Artwork is lit by gallery lighting.

From the modern features like the rear staircase to the book matched stone and the bathtub carved out of a single block, everything is carefully sculpted and crafted as in times gone by. Luxury has been beautifully and simply crafted by artisans of a modern age but paying respect to the grand designs of the original architect.

A three bedroom detached 2,057sqft mews house in Sumner Place Mews is also available by separate negotiation.
