Set within a handsome terrace on Black Lion Lane, this Grade II listed house unfolds across four floors and offers a rare sense of scale, history and seclusion in one of Hammersmith’s most distinctive pockets. Extending to approximately 2,854 sq ft in total, including a substantial garden office and vault, the house pairs elegant period proportions with unusually generous outside space and a layout that lends itself beautifully to family life. The house retains the quiet grandeur of its early 19th-century origins. On the raised ground floor, a wide entrance hall leads through to two formal reception spaces arranged as a dining room and reception room, both with high ceilings, large sash windows and a poised, understated character. A few steps down, the conservatory forms a lovely threshold between the house and garden, bringing in an abundance of light and creating a natural place to sit, read or entertain with the greenery beyond. The lower ground floor is arranged around a large kitchen and family room, with ample space for dining, along with a utility room, vault and wine cellar. The bedroom accommodation is arranged over the upper floors. The first floor is home to the principal bedroom, a further bedroom, a study and bathrooms, while the second floor provides two additional bedrooms beneath the eaves. As a whole, the house is currently configured as four bedrooms plus a study, offering flexibility for growing families, guests or those needing work-from-home space. The separate garden office at the rear is a particularly valuable addition, generous enough to function as a proper studio or workspace away from the main house. Outside, the garden is one of the property’s great pleasures. Measuring around 61 ft in depth, it feels mature, private and beautifully enveloping, with a conservatory and terrace opening onto a long stretch of lawn and planting. At the far end sits the detached office, while the vault and additional garden structures only add to the sense that this is a house with layers to it. It is a setting with genuine calm, despite being so well connected to the rest of London. Black Lion Lane is one of west London’s most atmospheric addresses, close to the Thames and deeply tied to the area’s creative and architectural history. The lane, together with nearby Hammersmith Terrace and Upper Mall, is closely associated with figures including William Morris, Emery Walker and Eric Gill, and remains one of the most characterful parts of W6. St Peter’s Square is nearby, as are the riverside walks along Upper Mall, the independent restaurants and pubs of Hammersmith, and transport links from Stamford Brook, Ravenscourt Park and Hammersmith.
