Sellers comments
Tennyson Road is a quiet and very friendly street. We bought
the house just over 5 years ago and have lovingly renovated it and
done much of the work ourselves. We have now outgrown the property
and are looking for something a bit bigger, plus a bit of a new
project.
When we bought the property, it was in a very sad state but we
could see the potential of the house, with a large private garden
and its own driveway. We have added sound insulation in the front
rooms, and new floors and have replastered and redecorated. We
restored the marble fireplace and added another. In the driveway,
we laid new setts and added new UPVC sash windows.
At the rear of the house, we have added an extension with a
new bathroom, new kitchen, new boiler and all new appliances. We
also built a bespoke bench seat to make the best use of the space
and laid engineered oak flooring. All of the paint used is clay
paint which is eco friendly and has a nicer finish than regular
paint.
We have totally redone the garden which was a mess of brambles
when we bought the flat. Im a garden designer and have added a new
patio, a seating area at the back of the garden, and flower beds
full of perennial low maintenance plants which are wildlife
friendly. We now have so many bees and other beneficial insects
visiting the garden.
There really isnt anything that needs doing to the property!
Its completely ready to go. The location of the flat is really
handy, just 5 minutes from Francis Road, a great yoga studio, and
the best Indian restaurant in London ! Masala India.
