The property comprises a Grade II Listed Stucco-fronted Victorian property dating from c.1840, situated within the affluent St John’s Wood Conservation Area, on a leafy residential road.

There are two entrances to the building, one to the centre which has an attractive glazed canopied entrance and another to the eastern end, where stairs lead down directly to an entrance to the lower ground floor. This would potentially allow the lower ground floor to be self- contained from the upper floors.

The property originally comprised two residential dwellings which are now interlinked, with accommodation arranged over lower ground floor, ground, first and second floors. The ground floor comprises a well- presented Reception/foyer, two good-sized classrooms, two offices and WCs. The accommodation in the remainder of the property currently comprises classrooms, nursery rooms on the lower ground floor, offices, meetings rooms, WCs, kitchen and ancillary staff areas.

The property was extensively refurbished in late 2017/early 2018 and is in an immaculate condition throughout, benefitting from a wealth of period features. The ceilings on the ground floor are high, with original fireplaces and decorative cornicing and plasterwork throughout.

The garden is attractive and well maintained, with a covered walkway which spans the length of the garden, which is accessed via the lower ground floor, and also via an external metal staircase from the ground floor.
