The low-rise property is spread over 5585 sq ft and is made from two buildings joined together, resulting in two quite distinct styles in the home: from one side it resembles a bungalow, while the other end of the building is taller.
The spacious, open-plan home is currently configured for family life and has a large decked roof terrace with views over London, while a garage and patio complete the Californian vibe of this sprawling hidden gem.
