Award-Winning Home For Sale In London’s Little Venice

An award winning contemporary home is now for sale in the Little Venice area of London.

With a mix of modern industrial design in the new part of the house, which has been completely remodeled, and the historical heritage of the Coach House, which was once an old workshop and ticket office, the house seamlessly blends the two to create dramatic spaces that have many functions immediately catch the eye.

Designed by Wells Mackereth, the focal point of the home is definitely the double-height vaulted room that serves as the central living space. With a sunken kitchen packed with the latest appliances and everything a star baker or professional master chef could possibly need, it was inspired by Frank Sinatra’s Palm Springs home.

The industrial design is highlighted by the many technical features used in the new part of the house. Winches and elevator gears can raise and lower bespoke lighting while a giant hydraulically operated door swings into the garden.

A secret door in the brick wall connects the original coach house to the newer parts of the house and leads to the first of two bedrooms. With an original parquet floor reclaimed from the old Bond Street workshop of Partridge Fine Art that once existed on the site, the bedroom overlooks a walled garden.

We also love the fact that the TV can be pulled out to the mezzanine level above where the bathroom is, so you can continue watching TV or a movie in the bath.

This is a home for entertaining, from the expansive library and cinema room, which features a vintage-inspired maroon leather ‘conversation pit’, to the adjoining bar where friends and family can watch films or chat to their favorite TV show. There is also plenty of outdoor space in the rear garden, as well as in the front walled courtyard garden and on the roof terrace.

There is off-site parking for two vehicles whilst a large secure garage allows access to the house from the street.

In 2011 the property was the winner of The Daily Telegraph British Homes Awards in the Interior Design category. And in the same year it was also a finalist in the New London Awards and the World Architecture News Interior Design Awards.

In the secluded and scenic location of Little Venice, where the Grand Union and Regents Canal meet, you’re just steps from the water. There are plenty of waterfront cafes, pubs and restaurants to choose from and you can take a boat trip or walk along the towpath that takes you right into the heart of the capital. Warwick Road tube station (Bakerloo line) provides further access to central London.

The property is currently on the market for £11,000,000 Knight Frank.
