54 Apsley Road is a handsome Victorian end-of-terrace townhouse, approached via a pillared entrance with off-street parking for several cars.
Internally the house affords sumptuous accommodation over four floors, including a side wing complete with its own entrance as well as a walled southerly facing rear garden.
An original front door leads into a useful entrance porch with a part-glazed door leading into a beautiful entrance hall with a herringbone parquet floor. There is a sweeping balustrade staircase leading to the floors above, as well as a separate cloakroom.
To the side is a fabulous dining room with a pretty bay-fronted shuttered sash window, original stripped wooden floor, open fireplace with a marble surround and ornate ceiling cornice work.
A stunning sitting room is situated to the rear, flooded with natural light and carefully opened up by the current owners to enjoy the full-width of the house; complete with access out onto a decked balcony leading down to the southerly facing garden below.
From the entrance hall stairs lead down to the lower ground floor with its expansive terrazzo tiled hall giving access to a fabulous family kitchen to the rear and a versatile family room / play room to the front.
There is independent access to the lower ground floor from the front of the house (via stairs) leading down from the driveway.
The kitchen is a delight; situated to the rear and, like the sitting room above, spread across the full-width of the house complete with access out into the rear garden and a hardwearing marble tiled floor. It is a great family kitchen, very sociable with plenty of room for a breakfast table and chairs along with an oversize central island, plenty of floor and wall-mounted storage, an expanse of granite work surfaces and a cast-iron woodburning stove.
The family room is a wonderful size, with light pouring in from the triple sash bay window and double doors leading in from the main hall. There is also access to the inner hall and out into the utility room, gym and sixth bedroom.
Upstairs, across the top two floors are five superb double bedrooms, accessed via generous landings flooded with light from an oversize ceiling lantern above.
Across the first floor lie two almost identical suites; each finished with a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room.
On the top floor lie three further bedrooms; with the master suite across the rear of the house boasting a full-width wall of wardrobes and a luxury en-suite bath and shower room with a Jacuzzi bath.
To the front are two bedrooms, accessed independently but with internal access if required, creating a wonderful nursery suite, or a large bedroom with a walk in wardrobe. These bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom.
A unique feature of the house is the incredibly versatile side wing; arranged over the hall and lower ground floors; with two bedroom suites and a fitted open plan kitchen & sitting room. This presents numerous opportunities for additional accommodation or for an au pair and guests.
It can equally be separated from the house, as it has its own front entrance and could be let out either short term or long to provide a useful secondary income.
Outside:
The deep walled rear garden is a true delight; south east facing and very private it catches much of the day‘s sun with a deep rear lawn overlooked by the wisteria clad timber-decked balcony and accessed from the sitting room, family kitchen and the annex.
It is a hugely sociable space and enjoys a rare degree of privacy, with a paved dining terrace leading out from the kitchen and a deep level lawn beyond, complete with raised sun terrace to the rear to catch the last of the day‘s sun-light and further side terrace with views back down across the garden.
Walled to three sides it is a remarkably safe and secure garden for children of all ages and size to enjoy; overlooked and accessed as it is from both the kitchen and sitting room above.

What Other Related Technologies Does PropertyHeads Use, and Why?
Tracking Pixels: Our advertising partners may use tracking pixels or similar technology to measure the success of the sponsored posts or other advertising products they use. A “tracking pixel” (also sometimes called web beacon, or clear GIF) is a tiny piece of code, invisible to the user, placed on a webpage or in an email and used in combination with a cookie, to link a given activity or impression back to the user; the advertiser includes it in its content so it can measure whether our members interact with that content (for example, by clicking to view an offer). We may set our own tracking pixel on an advertiser’s website so we can measure whether our members found the advertiser’s content effective or interesting, by tracking whether the sponsored post prompted members to take advantage of the advertised offer. This information helps us assess whether sponsored posts and other advertising offers are relevant and interesting to our members and successful for the advertiser.
