When contemporary meets traditional

Situated within just over 21 acres made up of formal terraced gardens and paddocks approached by an impressive gravel driveway, the setting of Pimlico House is nothing short of idyllic.

When Pimlico House was purchased by Rob and Gaynor Powell four years ago, the property was in a somewhat tired and dilapidated state. They have effectively managed to restore this attractive and imposing Georgian style family house, built at the turn of the 19th century, to its former glory.

Situated within just over 21 acres made up of formal terraced gardens and paddocks approached by an impressive gravel driveway, the setting of Pimlico House is nothing short of idyllic.

Breathtakingly interior designed, Gaynor has used luscious fabrics, textured wall papers and a combination of colours to successfully entwine the grandeur of the past with all the comforts of the modern age, including under floor heating to the ground floor.

She comments: “The house is extremely grand, so I wanted to decorate it within those parameters but, with five children, it was also very important to create a warm, friendly family home.”

The beautifully proportioned accommodation comprises reception rooms with period details, high ceilings and tall sash windows - the ideal setting for formal entertaining. A large kitchen/breakfast room fits in with a more informal and relaxed family lifestyle. In addition, the sleeping accommodation is excellent - six bedrooms within the main house (two of which are en suite) and a very useful two bedroom detached cottage within the grounds.

The property, which has just come to the market with a price tag of £3.9 million, is being sold through Savills Harpenden office. Neil Rose, who is handling the sale comments: “This is the ultimate family house with all the benefits of a semi-rural location within striking distance of Hemel Hempstead and Kings Langley, both of which provide easy access to central London.”
