Brief

The clients were seeking a country home west of London, combining rural surroundings with excellent connectivity into Paddington. Key requirements included a minimum of five bedrooms, proximity to their chosen school, and strong long-term suitability as a family home.

Additional appeal lay in the potential to extend and adapt the property, including the possibility of creating ancillary accommodation to meet evolving family needs.

Result

An off-market opportunity was secured that aligned closely with the clients’ brief. The property, which had been in the same ownership for nearly 30 years, had been well maintained and thoughtfully extended over time.

Its location provided the ideal balance of countryside living with convenient access to both a nearby train station and the clients’ chosen school.

Existing planning permission offered immediate scope for further extension, with additional potential to amend the plans to incorporate ancillary accommodation. This flexibility ensured the property could evolve alongside the clients’ long-term requirements.

The transaction was completed efficiently, with the process taking approximately 11 months from introduction to completion.
