Contemporary Haven in Starch Green

An exceptionally designed, contemporary lateral living, four-bedroom home set within historic Victorian building, Rylett Studios, in fondly known Starch Green, has come to market with leading west London estate agents, Finlay Brewer. In a former life, the building was a Victorian laundry facility, then a ball bearings factory in World War Two and more recently a collection of office design studios. The current owners have beautifully converted part of the studios into a unique modern home, unlike anything else in west London, which is on the market with Finlay Brewer for £2.275 million.

Teresa Brewer, Director at Finlay Brewer comments, “Rylett Studios is a truly distinctive and extraordinary property. The current owners have done an outstanding job of renovating the property so that the open-plan lateral living space is the centre of the home. The cathedral-like high-glass ceilings means the space is bathed in natural light and you feel as if it is a haven away from the outside world, which many of us need right now!

“The home is so well designed you would expect an architect to have been brought on board during the renovations, but the owners did it all on their own. It completely dashes away the Victorian style floorplan seen in so many homes in this area of London, with beautiful fluid connections between each space, the home truly works for modern day flexible living.”

The 2,396 sq ft home is set back from Rylett Crescent and is just moments away from leafy Wendell Park. The home is set across two floors, has off-street parking, and also benefits from an additional mezzanine level study with glass ceiling, a perfect tranquil place to work from home or watch the ever-changing sky above with a coffee.

Upon entering the property, homeowners are met by a wonderful bright hallway with ample storage and a statement staircase which lights up and changes colour, great for an evening of entertaining. Passing down the hall, there is a stylish family bathroom with high-spec fixtures and a useful utilities room. Further beyond, stylish curved walls lead to three good sized bedrooms, one with an en-suite which features innovative waterproof resin on the walls.

The master suite can be found at the end of the hallway and features a clever frosted window that lets in lots of natural light, one of the quirky features kept by the current owners during renovations. The master suite further comprises, a large walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with his and hers sinks and a bath and separate shower.

The first floor is dedicated solely to the remarkable lateral living space. As homeowners walk up the feature staircase, the first thing they will notice is the natural light pouring in from the high glass ceiling and original porthole window at the end of the expansive space. The glass ceiling and surrounding windows are controlled electrically.

The lateral space is zoned and includes a more formal seating area centred around a gas ‘log-burning’ stove which has useful shelves built into either side of the space. Opposite this is a cosy secondary reception area, which features glass sliding doors, making the space perfect for film nights. Next to this area is a W/C featuring a wall covered in a historic map of the local area from the 1800s.

Flowing on from the formal seating area, is the beautiful dining / kitchen space, great for a dinner party with friends or large family meals. The kitchen features navy cabinets, a sociable island, high-spec fixtures, and an innovative worktop surface that is scratch proof and heatproof.

Just off the dining space, glass sliding doors open up onto a decked terrace with built in seating. The terrace features an awning meaning that it can be an extension of the living space no matter what the weather.

The highly sought-after area of Starch Green has a real community feel to it, with wonderful local eateries and pubs aplenty. Rylett Studios is just under a ten-minute walk away from Ravenscourt Park, and is just over a ten-minute walk away from Stamford Brook Underground station (District and Circle Line).
