House for sale in Hurlingham

This Hurlingham gem tucked away behind high walls and an arched styled carriage entrance was historically a country hunting lodge or weekend retreat for Anglo executives. The old stables were nearby and a large lake also existed in the vicinity. A Garden and Home article featured in 2021 describes it as a home for a special family who appreciate the value and ambience of a sophisticated but casual farmhouse feel. The combination of old and new was cleverly managed by a professional design team looking to honour and respect the past but modernizing for comfortable family living. The screed floors, sash windows coupled with some black aluminum frames, exposed cut stone walls, beamed wooden ceilings and open wooden trusses enhance a bygone era.
