On tree-lined Chartfield Avenue in Putney, one of southwest London’s most exclusive residential streets, a recently completed detached four-storey home offering more than 5,300 square feet of living space, six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, pale, flowing interiors and a spectacular multi-tiered south-facing rear garden is for sale for £3,900,000.
With the final touches only made in 2018, meaning the architect-designed home is still under new-build warranty, the unique, contemporary four-reception house is just a short walk from Putney train station and the bistros, bars and boutiques of Putney High Street. Rarely, it also comes with an integral double garage and gated off-street parking for two cars, with future-proofed interiors benefiting from state-of-the-art smart home automation, wheelchair access, a Sonos sound system and bespoke fittings and materials in every room.
With its internal palette of whites and creams, high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling glazing and an architectural lighting scheme, plus engineered wooden flooring and swathes of marble and porcelain, it has also made the perfect setting for film and photo shoots.
Chartfield Avenue is the vision of its present owner, whose parents bought a house on the site in 1970, and who recently decided to rebuild the much-loved family home as a modernist masterpiece, perfect for raising her own children, while incorporating future-proofed features including disabled access, which her father required.
While the streetside aspect of the home is modern yet fairly traditional, with brick and wood features that harmonise with other homes on the street, and enlivened by sections of diamond-pattern glazing, the rear and interiors have been designed with complete free reign to create a home of breathtaking stylistic scope.
The rear façade is characterised by concrete, steel and glass, built over several levels and with banks of glazing providing dazzling views over the multi-tiered south-facing garden. Designed by landscape architect John Gale, the outside spaces feature a series of entertaining and lounging “rooms” over different levels, incorporating terracing and a sunken garden, with vibrant planting for year-round interest.
Behind attractive electronically operated gates on Chartfield Avenue, a contemporary wooden front door opens onto a stunning ground-floor entrance hall, with an open glass-balustraded stairwell soaring up to the top of the house. At the heart of the home is the 32ft. by 28ft. open plan kitchen/reception space, the white minimalist kitchen featuring Carrara marble and Corian work surfaces, with a large kitchen island easily seating four, and porcelain tiling underfoot.
The reception area has been designed as a luxuriously snug retreat, with soft multi-layered lighting and floor-to-ceiling cabinetry to display artwork and photographs, flanking an ultra-contemporary fireplace.
Heading downstairs via a floating metal-studded wood and glass staircase, the lower ground floor provides a fabulous entertaining area, with a built-in bar – perfect for throwing a party, as a playroom for younger children, cinema room or as a games room for the whole family.
Part of the space can be sectioned off as a private sound-proofed area, ideal for budding sound engineers and drummers. A well-equipped utility room and dedicated storage space, which can also double as a communications room, and a shower room complete this level.
Up on the first floor, there are four generously sized double bedrooms, each with fitted cabinetry, and two with ensuite shower rooms. There is also a further family bathroom, making this floor the perfect accommodation for both family members and guests.
The versatile top, second floor provides nearly 770 sq.ft. of living space, currently arranged as a large bedroom, with ensuite, plus a storage/dressing room. This hugely flexible level could also be used as a serene workspace overlooking the chimneypots and canopies of Putney, or as an art or yoga studio.
Chartfield Avenue is for sale freehold for £3,900,000. For further information or to arrange a viewing contact DEXTERS (Putney).
