Henry Tate Mews, London, SW16

Built in what was once the private estate and grounds of sugar magnate and philanthropist Sir Henry Tate and retaining free rein for residents over the extensive grounds and orchards, we are delighted to offer for sale this beautifully appointed three bedroom upper apartment with a private west-facing roof terrace.

Set within the Grade II* listed mansion and the historic gardens with its listed garden features, Winkworth are delighted to offer exclusively for sale this exceptional split-level property with accommodation in excess of 1,460 sq. Ft.. Located adjacent to Streatham Common, the house was originally called Park Hill, and built in 1829 in the classical style by the Leaf family and lived in by Sir Henry Tate from 1880 where he opened the first Tate Gallery. From 1923 it became St Michael’s Convent, a care home until 1996 when it was converted into private housing. The grounds are set behind a high screen of trees completely insulated from the road and benefit from a secure gated entrance with vehicular access from Streatham Common North. Residents can enjoy full use of the extensive gardens that include a large protected fruit orchard, rolling lawns, mature planted borders and charming Grade II listed garden follies. Offering bright and tastefully decorated accommodation with great proportions and high ceilings, this charming property has been sympathetically modernised by the current owner with an emphasis on great comfort and provides three double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite) on the upper (second) floor and two reception rooms and a lovely modern kitchen/breakfast room as well as a guest cloakroom on the first floor. The decked balcony/roof terrace extends the full width of the property with French window access in/out of both the reception rooms. With a westerly aspect it is the perfect place to enjoy the sunsets and is large enough for outdoor seating and dining when the weather permits. There is also an allocated parking space that belongs to the property and a large storage space/room. Henry Tate Mews is located within easy reach of Streatham, West Norwood & Streatham Common train stations with regular commuter services into central London and the City. There are a selection of good local schools and amenities on your doorstep that include: great gastro-pubs, a new microbrewery and cafe by the stunning Rookery Gardens on the Common, Streatham's modern Leisure Centre and Ice-Rink and there are several supermarkets including an M&S Foodhall, a Sainsbury's and a new Aldi store.
