behind a traditional victorian façade on doneraile street, this exceptional six-bedroom house has been comprehensively rebuilt and reimagined to an exacting standard, extending to approximately 5,400 sq ft (including outdoor pool area) across four floors. conceived with a rare level of detail and technical sophistication, the house combines expansive lateral proportions with bespoke joinery, exceptional natural light and a wonderful connection between entertaining, family and wellness spaces.
the ground floor is arranged around an extraordinary open-plan kitchen, dining and living space extending to almost 1,000 sq ft. positioned beneath dramatic skylights and centred around a sculptural staircase descending to the lower ground floor, the kitchen has been designed by plain english and finished with extensive bespoke joinery and integrated appliances. full-width glazing opens directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden, creating a strong sense of continuity between inside and out. a separate reception room to the front of the house provides a more formal setting, while considered detailing including wide wooden flooring, bespoke cabinetry and refined lighting runs throughout.
the lower ground floor has been excavated and designed as a fully integrated leisure and guest level. a large reception and gym space opens onto a private courtyard centred around a plunge pool and jacuzzi-style spa pool, with a sauna positioned alongside. this level also incorporates a guest bedroom suite with a small terrace, study, secondary kitchen and additional dining area, making it particularly well suited to longer-term guests, staff accommodation or independent family living. a staircase rises directly from the courtyard to the main garden above, carefully linking all principal entertaining spaces.
on the first floor the principal bedroom suite sits next to an additional ensuite bedroom. the principal suite is especially impressive, with extensive bespoke joinery, a beautifully finished bathroom and generous proportions enhanced by high ceilings and exceptional natural light. a further three bedrooms occupy the second floor, one ensuite and two with use of a large family bathroom, while the unusual rear second-floor volume gives this level a remarkable sense of scale rarely found in fulham houses of this period. above, a roof terrace enjoys far-reaching rooftop views across west london.
throughout the house, every practical detail has been considered. there is underfloor heating and cooling throughout, air conditioning across the principal floors, a whole-house air purification system with heat recovery, and an air source heat pump by ochsner which adds to the house’s environmental credentials. bespoke joinery features extensively across the interiors, while a secure bike lift and underground bike store have been integrated into the front of the house.
doneraile street is one of fulham’s most sought-after residential addresses, positioned moments from the green open spaces of south park and within easy reach of parsons green, fulham broadway and the king’s road. the surrounding area is known for its excellent local restaurants, independent cafés and family-friendly atmosphere, while a number of highly regarded schools are nearby. excellent transport links connect the area with chelse a, the west end and the city.
