This wonderfully renovated three-bedroom house is located on a tranquil no-through road in Chiswick. Meticulously redesigned by the current owners, the house is a clever fusion of warm and inviting materials that perfectly complement its 1960s heritage. In its voluminous dual-aspect sitting room, a seamless connection to both the front and back gardens is made possible through elegant glazed doors. Natural light floods the interiors, creating a bright and airy ambience enhanced by a multitude of strategically placed windows. Ernest Gardens is a short walk away from the Thames and the picturesque green expanses of Chiswick House, arguably the finest remaining example of Neo-Palladian architecture in London.

The Tour 

The house is set at the end of a terrace of beautifully designed mid-century houses. The 1960s façade is typical of the era, with large windows and restored wood panelling set in London stock brick walls. A low gate opens to a beautiful front garden, planted with wisteria, apple blossom and crab apple trees, which combine to make a beautifully leafy approach.

The front door opens into a hallway, where sunlight cascades in from all directions. A generously proportioned sitting room occupies half of the ground floor, where two sets of doors allow for an effortless sense of indoor-outdoor living. A large skylight illuminates a nook in the room, set through a three-centred arch. A built-in oak sideboard adds storage, its wooden grain adding warmth. Soft cork floors run throughout the house.

The kitchen is arranged in an L-shaped layout on the opposite side of the plan. Cabinetry is painted pale green, and a wood-framed window sits above the sink overlooking the front garden. In the dining area, space is cleverly maximised by minimal built-in seating with storage underneath. French doors lead into the patio, framing views of the back garden.

A large wooden window illuminates the bright staircase with balustrades accented in salmon pink paint. On the first floor are three bedrooms. The main bedroom is a peaceful en suite with a triple-aspect layout and a private balcony. It is an exceptionally bright room, with windows framing views of the neighbouring tree canopy. The two other double bedrooms have views of the mature magnolia tree and the tree canopies beyond. All three are characterised by their beautiful birch ply joinery, creating clever cohesion throughout the house.

The newly renovated family bathroom is on the first floor. Finished in a neutral palette, the space is wonderful and bright, accented with a Terrazzo floor. This is echoed in the design of the en suite bathroom. An additional WC on the ground floor is finished in bespoke ply cabinetry and lit by a large window.

Adjacent to the house is a triangular plot of land that will come with the sale.

Outdoor Space 

The house is tucked between two gardens. At the front, a wonderfully landscaped garden has an emerald lawn, a cascading wisteria, a mature apple blossom, and a crab apple tree. Behind the house is an exceptionally private patio surrounded by a slated wooden fence. With ample room for outdoor furniture, the space is a thoughtful extension of the dining room and kitchen, making it perfect for entertaining or eating alfresco. A mature magnolia is nestled in the corner, casting beautiful shadows across the patio.

The Area

Ernest Gardens is a 20-minute walk from Chiswick High Road, home to a host of national and independent retailers, restaurants, cafes and bars, and a new five-screen cinema. A small retail parade on Devonshire Road offers a more eclectic mix of restaurants, cafes and boutique retailers, including restaurant La Trompette, wine bar Vinoteca and barbers Genco.

The house is located a short walk away from the green spaces of Chiswick House and Gardens, arguably the finest remaining example of Neo-Palladian architecture in London, designed by Lord Burlington and completed in 1729, and in its grounds, an excellent cafe built in 2010 to a design by Caruso St John Architects. The quaint Strand on the Green, a stretch of beautiful homes bordering the Thames, with three charming local pubs is a short walk away. Ernest Gardens is also within the catchment for Strand on the Green Primary and Grove Park Primary School.

The nearest station is Chiswick Station (South Western Railway) and Gunnersbury (Overground), which is an approximately 15-minute walk. Heathrow Airport and the M25 are about 20 minutes by car.
