Carbery Avenue, London W3

An immaculate family home offering substantial accommodation, exceptional versatility and a private garden with an impressive garden extension.

Description

This immaculate four bedroom semi-detached home offers substantial and versatile accommodation across three floors. Expansive interconnected living spaces are complemented by a formal dining room with an original gas fire and a luxurious principal suite with balcony. A newly built garden extension provides a games room with annexe potential, study and storage, while the private garden, garage and excellent transport links complete the offering.

The approach
Carbery Avenue provides an attractive setting for this substantial family home, with mature trees lining the residential street. The façade is distinguished by an elegant two storey bay window, traditional architectural detailing and a recessed entrance framed by established planting. A low brick boundary wall, gated pathway and neighbouring period homes contribute to the character of the immediate surroundings.

A welcoming entrance hall introduces the home and creates a clear route between its principal ground floor rooms. The front door incorporates decorative glass panels, while the staircase features a timber balustrade, with useful storage incorporated beneath. Glazed internal doors provide connections to the living and dining spaces, with the arrangement continuing towards the kitchen and rear garden.

The ground floor
The kitchen forms the heart of the open plan living space, with fitted cabinetry, broad work surfaces, gas hob, two ovens, American style fridge freezer, generous peninsula and separate larder.

The dining area opens directly to the garden through bi-fold doors and connects with the kitchen and living room. A glazed roof, windows and heated airing cupboard complete the space.

The generously proportioned living room centres around a substantial fireplace, with wide openings to the kitchen and dining area creating an easy flow while allowing each space to function independently.

The separate formal dining room provides an elegant setting for larger gatherings, featuring an original gas fireplace and broad front-facing bay window, with proportions also suited to alternative reception uses.

Positioned off the entrance hall, the cloakroom serves the principal living and entertaining spaces, with a WC, compact vanity unit, shuttered window, patterned wallpaper and half-height tiling.

The fourth bedroom/games room and study
The newly constructed garden room provides an exceptional and highly versatile fourth bedroom, currently arranged as a games room. Wide sliding glass doors open across the garden elevation, while expansive skylights and a wall-mounted fireplace enhance the sense of space and comfort. Cork flooring provides a practical finish, and the building also incorporates a private study and dedicated storage room.

Forming part of the detached garden extension, the study provides valuable separation from the main home for focused work. Glazed double doors open towards the garden, while a further window provides an outlook across the surrounding greenery, supported by a large skylight.

The first floor
Occupying a substantial portion of the first floor, the principal bedroom suite offers exceptional scale and privacy. Dual aspect windows support excellent light and views, while extensive storage creates a defined dressing area.

The principal en suite is a carefully considered arrangement of individual fittings. A freestanding clawfoot bath is complemented by a separate glazed shower enclosure, WC and broad trough style basin positioned beneath a shuttered window.

An original feature of the home, the principal balcony provides a peaceful outdoor extension of the bedroom suite.

The generous third bedroom features an original curved bay window overlooking Carbery Avenue, extensive fitted cabinetry, substantial storage and a mirrored vanity area while retaining excellent floor space.

The family bathroom includes a generous walk-in shower, Belfast-style basin, WC and fitted cabinetry, alongside a concealed utility area with space for laundry appliances, shelving and storage.

The second floor
Spanning much of the second floor, the second bedroom provides an impressive and adaptable suite. The pitched roofline, shiplap feature wall and fitted storage bring definition to the main sleeping area, while Velux windows and glazed balcony doors open the outlook. The adjoining hobby room offers a valuable sleeping area, private study, sewing space or accommodation for a child travelling with guests.

Opening directly from the second bedroom, the balcony creates an appealing private place to sit outdoors. Glazed double doors connect the two spaces, while the elevated position creates an open outlook across the surrounding streetscape, cricket pitch and towards the distinctive arch of Wembley Stadium. Its position on the uppermost floor complements the scale and flexibility of the adjoining bedroom suite.

Serving the upper bedroom accommodation, the second floor shower room makes effective use of its position beneath the roof. A glazed shower enclosure benefits from additional height, accompanied by a WC and wall mounted vanity unit.

The hobby room
Tucked beneath the roofline on the second floor, this characterful and versatile space is principally accessed through the second bedroom. With restricted head height at its entrance, the room opens into a cosy retreat with a Velux set into the sloping ceiling. Currently used as a sewing room, it lends itself particularly well as a hobby room or children’s den, while also providing useful overflow bedroom accommodation when required.

The gardens and parking
The private rear garden provides an inviting balance of lawn, established planting and several areas for outdoor entertaining. A paved terrace beside the home accommodates dining and barbecues, while a further deck at the end of the garden receives the sun for longer. The lawn offers space for croquet and family recreation, with side access and the detached garden extension completing the setting. A garden shed positioned behind the extension provides further outdoor storage.

The front garden is framed by established planting, a low brick boundary wall and gated pathway, creating an attractive approach beneath the mature trees lining Carbery Avenue.

Secure off-street parking is provided within the garage positioned beside the rear garden. The single garage accommodates one vehicle and is fitted with an automatic door opener for convenient access. A separate glass-panelled door from the driveway provides access to the boiler cupboard, housing a Viessmann combi boiler and Megaflo pressurised hot water tank.

Fees

Reservation Fee - refundable on exchange

A reservation fee, refundable on exchange, is payable prior to the issue of the Memorandum of Sale and after which the property may be marked as Sold Subject to Contract. The fee will be reimbursed upon the successful Exchange of Contracts.

The fee will be retained by Andrew Grant in the event that you the Buyer withdraws from the purchase or does not Exchange within 6 months of the fee being received other than for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Any significant material issues which individually are more than 1% of the agreed purchase price and are highlighted in a survey and were not evident or drawn to the attention of you, the Buyer, prior to the Memorandum of Sale being issued.
2. Serious and material defect in the seller’s legal title.
3. Local search revealing a matter that has a material adverse effect on the market value of the property that was previously undeclared and not in the public domain.
4. The vendor withdrawing the property from sale.

The reservation fee will be 0.5% of the accepted offer price for offers below £800,000 and 1% for offers of £800,000 or over. This fee, unless specified otherwise, is payable upon acceptance by the vendor of an offer from a buyer and completion of an assessment of the buyer’s financial status and ability to proceed.

Should a buyer’s financial position regarding the funding of the property prove to be fundamentally different from that declared by the buyer when the Memorandum of Sale was completed, then the Vendor has the right to withdraw from the sale and/or the reservation fee retained. For example, where the buyer declares themselves as a cash buyer but are in fact relying on an unsecured sale of their property. The reservation fee will not be refunded where there is an inability on the part of the Buyer to raise any required mortgage after the Memorandum of Sale is completed.

Once the reservation fee has been paid, any renegotiation of the price stated in the memorandum of sale for any reason other than those covered in points 1 to 3 above will lead to the reservation fee being retained. A further fee will be levied on any subsequent reduced offer that is accepted by the vendor. This further fee will be subject to the same conditions that prevail for all reservation fees outlined above.

Compliance and Verification Fee

A Compliance and Verification Fee of £85 plus VAT (£102 inc VAT) per individual purchaser or related party requiring anti-money laundering, identity, source and proof of funds or financial verification checks is payable upon acceptance of an offer and receipt of the reservation fee.

This fee represents the cost of compliance administration and verification services undertaken in connection with the proposed purchase including anti-money laundering checks, sanctions screening, source of funds verification, proof of funds checks and associated compliance procedures.

The Compliance and Verification Fee shall be deducted from the reservation fee monies held by Andrew Grant.

No compliance or verification work shall be commenced until the reservation fee has been received in cleared funds.

The Compliance and Verification Fee becomes due immediately upon acceptance of the offer and receipt of the reservation fee and shall become non-refundable once any compliance or verification work has commenced, irrespective of whether the transaction subsequently proceeds to Exchange of Contracts or completion.

Where all or part of the reservation fee is refundable under the reservation fee terms, any Compliance and Verification Fees incurred shall first be deducted from the monies returned.
