'Unicorn' is the only way to describe this quite unique 8-bedroom, end of terrace family home such is its splendour and the fact that it is the last undivided Georgian house of this stature in this part of London. With Blue Plaque status, this Grade II grand Georgian townhouse was built circa 1740. Carlton House is of such proportions and opulence that for the best part of a century, it was the Salisbury Club, a Conservative gentlemen's club.Set over five floors and offering well over 5,000 sq ft of living space, every part of this house has been sympathetically refurbished and turned into a modern family home. All whilst preserving many period features including fireplaces, shutters, cornicing, Mouldings and more. Entry to the property is via an original wrought iron gate which encloses a secluded garden. Portland stone step take you up to the impressive portico entrance. The front door opens onto the impressive entrance hall with classical Georgian staircase that winds its way up through the entire house. Several well-proportioned reception rooms lead off this hallway, including a double reception with dual aspect offering an abundance of natural light and views to both the front and rear productive cottage gardens.The back garden is a private, southeast-facing suntrap, doubling as both a useful outdoor entertainment/BBQ space and a productive cottage garden. Onwards to the first floor where there is a formal dining room and library as well as a simply huge kitchen/sitting room measuring over 11 meters in length and basking in natural light. The top two floors of the home contain five double bedrooms and two-family bathrooms. Notably the top floor benefits from its own kitchen/ living area. As you rise through the house, the upper floors offer unobstructed views across London. Carlton House's almost labyrinthine layout has even more to offer, including a huge two bedroom self-contained flat (with wine cellar) plus a house-keeper's apartment.There has been a clear and deep commitment to maintaining the period character of the property and features. This has not prevented seamless modernisations which includes family bathroom on all floors, solar thermal hot water, exterior wall insulation, underfloor heating, rainwater harvesting, an Eco-wood-burning stove and wood-store/potting shed, making this period house a thoroughly efficient, comfortable modern family home. In Leytonstone, East London's highly sought-after Bushwood neighbourhood, sits an impressive home. It takes a personal tour to fully comprehend and admire this house.
