Goldsmiths', East Churchfield Road, London, W3 7LP

This refined, Grade II*-listed house forms part of the storied Goldsmiths’ Almshouses, overlooking Acton Park.

Arranged across two well-proportioned levels, the internal spaces are characterised by a considered palette of colours and materials, in keeping with the Georgian character of the building.

The Building Originally built in 1811 to a design by architect Charles Beazley, the Goldsmith Buildings were commissioned by John Perry, a London goldsmith and alderman.

The premises have continued to serve as almshouses until 2010, when they were converted into 18 private homes by Robson Warren Architects.

The stucco-fronted chapel sets the tone for this elegant terrace, with a porticoed entrance flanked by Ionic columns.

Impeccably maintained, the beautiful gardens and communal areas were recently the subject of a comprehensive renovation.

The Tour This house forms part of an elegant terrace, where all doors are painted in matching blue tones and six-over-six sash windows line the traditional brick façade.

Entrance is to the hall, with the main reception room immediately to the left. Here, the walls are washed in delicate pastel tones with subtly contrasting white rails and skirtings.

An original tiled fireplace provides a focal point in the seating area and is flanked by alcoves on either side with built-in shelving.

A large, south-facing sash window frames views of the leafy front garden and Acton Park beyond. Hardwood floorboards extend underfoot and continue to the kitchen at the rear of the plan.

Here, contemporary grey units are arranged in a u-shape and complemented by quartz surfaces and a red splashback. Appliances from Neff include an electric hob, oven and dishwasher.

There is room to accommodate a dining table and access to a handy understairs pantry. From the hallway, a staircase leads to the first floor, where a generous bedroom is positioned at the front.

Its walls are painted in soothing tones, and soft carpet has been added underfoot. The bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe area; there is also additional storage under the stairs.

Alcoves at each side of the bed provide space for a small desk area and additional built-in storage. The adjacent bathroom is fitted with mosaic tiles and has a large shower over the bath.

From the landing is handy additional built-in storage, one of which is a wardrobe.

Outdoor Space A private terrace, positioned at the back and accessible from the kitchen, is ideal for dining outside and relaxing in the warmer season.

A large, formal landscaped communal garden with a variety of fruit trees, extensive lawns, and planted borders lies behind the house.

Its perimeter is lined with neat shrubs and mature trees, creating a wonderfully serene atmosphere.
