“An early example of a Victorian Italianate detached villa, the house commands a striking architectural presence and offers lateral space rarely seen in traditional homes”

Built around 1840, this Grade II-listed, five-bedroom home is rich in character and is set behind wooden gates on a residential road within the Larkhall Conservation Area. Its distinctive façade is defined by six-over-six sash windows and framed by two soaring Italian cypress trees, a subtle nod to its unique design heritage.

The house has two entrances: the principal approach is via a generous, traditional storm porch leading to the front door and main hallway, while a secondary entrance is through the converted ground-floor garage, which has been thoughtfully converted into a highly practical utility/boot room, complete with bespoke cabinetry and excellent storage.

One of the most striking contemporary interventions within the home is the 26’7 reception room, formerly a sculptor’s studio, where a dramatic vaulted ceiling draws an abundance of natural light into the space. This floor also hosts a variety of additional living and entertaining areas, including a study, a further reception room currently arranged as a bedroom, and an inviting library/snug, each offering flexibility to suit a range of lifestyles.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen that flows effortlessly into a charming Provençal-style dining room. Two sets of French doors open onto a secluded, south-facing walled garden, forging a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces and offering perfect spots for both everyday living and entertaining.

To the first floor are four generous bedrooms linked by an impressive, glazed galleried landing. There are two stunningly appointed and sizeable bathrooms and a south-facing terrace to one of the bedrooms.

The house has the rare benefit of being surrounded by a south-facing, walled garden. There is a large lawn along with a paved terrace and seating area. Wisteria has been trained up on the back walls, along with ivy and established planting in the borders. At the front of the house, there is a separate courtyard, which is shielded from the neighbouring homes by mature trees. There is also a secure gated driveway parking and garaging.

“Positioned on this quiet and attractive one-way street, Priory Grove enjoys a highly convenient setting on the edge of the much-loved Larkhall Park, with the recently revived Nine Elms district close at hand.”

The immediate area is well served by an array of local shops, vibrant bars and restaurants, including neighbourhood favourites such as the award-winning Moonstruck café and the ever-popular Canton Arms. The iconic Battersea Power Station is also within walking distance, offering an eclectic mix of leisure, dining and entertainment options. The adjacent Larkhall Park provides a delightful green retreat and is ideal for leisurely walks and quiet relaxation.

Both Stockwell and Nine Elms stations (Zone 1) are within easy reach, providing swift connections to the City and West End in approximately 15 minutes, while numerous regular bus routes ensure excellent accessibility across London.
