This three-bedroom house can be found on Dale Street, a quiet tree-lined street in Chiswick. The current owners have painstakingly rebuilt and remodelled the entire home to a very high standard, creating a modern sanctuary behind its rendered Victorian façade. Arranged over three floors and with a spacious kitchen, converted loft, courtyard garden and studio, the house has been thoughtfully renovated and finished to an exacting degree.

The Tour

A London stock brick parapet wall and planters frame the entrance on Dale Street. Parquet patterned paving leads through the front garden, complementing the light grey render of the front elevation; several neighbouring houses also have rendered fronts, which creates an aesthetically pleasingly, harmonious terrace. A dark-grey timber front door opens into the ground floor hallway lined with Marrakech design tiles, which leads to a comfortable living room replete with grey-green timber panelling. Timber-framed sash windows form the bay of the ground and first-floor fenestrations.

The hall leads past a WC and large utility room, opening into a spacious kitchen with large roof lights and ample space for dining and relaxing. A full-height larder with high shelving is at one end, while Crittal doors enclose the space at the rear, looking out onto the garden and studio. The black-painted timber larder complements the stainless steel worktops, and the space is grounded by large limestone floor tiles in a marbled finish. Light fills the space and the natural textures complement the neutral palette, while restrained dashes of colour create a feeling of warmth.

Two double bedrooms can be found on the first floor, one at the front of the home and one at the centre, while a large bathroom with Marrakech tiles and a walk-in shower is situated to the rear. A set of stairs leads to the loft where the spacious main bedroom lies; this has a large en suite walk-in shower and WC. A light engineered oak lines the floor, while large panels of limestone clad the en suite.

Outdoor Space

The garden can be accessed via full-width Crittall doors leading from the kitchen. This easy access blurs the boundaries between indoors and out, creating a fluid space that is almost part of the home’s interior. Upturned half-bricks have been used for the flooring, and the timber-clad studio adds to the sense of harmony with the natural world. There is space for alfresco dining and the garden studio could easily double as a summer house when required.

The Area

Dale Street is two minutes walk south of Chiswick High Road, which is home to a host of national and independent retailers, restaurants, cafes and bars, and a new five screen cinema opens soon. There is a small retail parade on Devonshire Road, immediately parallel to Dale Street, which offers a more eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and boutique retailers, including restaurant La Trompette, wine bar Vinoteca and barbers Genco. Chiswick House, an 18th-century Palladian villa with 65 acres of gardens, is 10 minutes walk from Dale Street, and the Thames is just a short walk to the south.
