Two new sustainable luxury homes in South-West London

by Cannon Residential

Cannon Residential is proud to present this three storey five bedroom 360 sqm/3859 sqf freestanding townhouse close to the heart of London. Elegant and generous open plan spaces with tall floor to ceiling heights result in a light and airy feel throughout. Thoughtfully planned living is formed from a meticulously built fabric using a very high specification of materials for environmental performance and sustainability.

LOCATION

The development is situated in the heart of Putney, one of the most affluent areas of London. To the West are the expansive rolling hills of Richmond Park with its famous herds of deer, leisure activities such as horse riding, and the 1830s Isabella woodland gardens. To the East are the world famous Wimbledon Tennis courts where the international tournament is held every year. To the South are the Royal Wimbledon, Coombe and Malden Golf clubs, as well as the A3 which provides excellent connectivity to the motorway network. To the North is the London Wetland Centre and the River Thames. Waterloo is only 20 minutes by train, and a short drive across Putney bridge takes you directly to the city center.

GROUND FLOOR

The open plan ground floor divides into four distinct spaces. Stepping through the front door, the Entrance Hall is lined with wardrobes and leads to a guest bathroom on one side of a wide and bright staircase with tall windows that provide direct views through to the central courtyard. A tall and wide oak-lined sliding wall opens into the Living Room. Two steps provides the threshold down to a separated Dining Room, set directly in front of the interstitial courtyard with a large single pane window framing the brick lined space with a Silver Birch tree.

Oak flooring throughout, bespoke joinery and a fireplace provide the elegant backdrop to formally entertaining guests, relaxing with friends or indulging in personal leisure pursuits. To the west the floor to ceiling height glazing opens the dining room towards the rear garden.

Another step down leads to the Kitchen. This bright and airy space is positioned between the rear garden and the courtyard. It is a light-filled space with refined Joinery and direct access to the rear garden.
