A four-storey house in Jericho has been renovated and extended over the years to create a light and airy home with a glass extension as its centrepiece.

The alterations at 11 Richmond Road, which is on the market for £1.425m, included digging out the lower ground area to provide living space of about 40ft in length that includes a reception room and kitchen with underfloor heating.

The fitted kitchen features hand-made units, a range cooker, double Butler sink and granite worktop plus bay window and wood burner.

The main reception room has glazing to the east, south and west designed to catch the sunlight throughout the day and full-width fold-back doors leading to the garden.

On the ground floor is a second, double-aspect living room with a bay window at the front and sash window at the back.

Behind this is a double bedroom overlooking the garden. The other two upper floors house three more bedrooms plus a studio flat with balcony overlooking the garden.

The flat also includes a bedrom, wc and shower plus another double bedroom and reception room.

Other unusual touches include heritage-type radiators, an antique French sink in one bathroom, shower, claw-foot bath, fitted wardrobes and lighting in the flowerbeds.

The south-facing garden is landscaped with a large patio that extends to a two-tier area, the lower of which includes built-in seating.

There is also a summer house that has power and light connections.

James Cridland, of agents Chancellors, said: “I really love the way it has been renovated and designed to create what is an amazing living space.

“The dug-out cellar has full-width folding doors opening on to a great garden plus there is this glass roof to the rear and sides with a central pillar holding up the whole of the extension. Visually, the space is extremely impressive.

“The studio flat at the top of the house would make excellent accommodation for a nanny or au pair or guest suite. In fact, the whole property offers flexibility.”
