1st Option welcomes Dene, an incredible Arts & Crafts house built in 1910. Maintaining many of its unique original features, this property has been sensitively refurbished and updated with cosy and quirky interiors and lots of interesting nooks and characteristics. The location houses 2 bathrooms, a W/C restroom and 4 bedrooms, 2 of which are children’s rooms.
The front room is soft and serene, showcasing a piano, a large regal mirror, shuttered windows and is finished beautifully with a shade of dusty rose. The main reception room presents a consistent but wider colour palette across vintage furniture, an intricate Persian rug and its original fireplace. The garden can be accessed from here via original French doors, welcoming clients onto a secluded patio equipped with a dining table. Dene’s kitchen comes in a unique orangery-style, providing plenty of natural light and views of the healthy, mature garden through floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows, bringing the house in-tune with the surrounding nature. This feature may work wonders for a range of creative shoots, allowing clients to use the transparency to play with perspectives and weather outcomes. The kitchen also boasts a spacious worktop and a large central island with a breakfast bar, set across a high-gloss terracotta herringbone floor.
The bathrooms juxtapose in style; the first presents itself as dark and utilitarian but luxury, featuring a large format black marble sheeting across the floor and the wet room shower. The remainder of the walls are fitted with ¾ height wall panelling in an elegant smokey green, giving the space earthy undertones. Dusty rose pink makes another appearance in the other bathroom, accompanied by Arts & Crafts-style wallpaper above the half-height wall panelling. Here, you’ll discover a marvellous copper freestanding bath, period style fittings and lots of plants lining the beautiful stained glass windows.
