What the owners love:

Despite its considerable size, to us The Cedars has always felt a cosy house. We love the feel that it’s been firmly standing here in Brentford for about 300 years. We still enjoy its quirkiness and different shaped arches and variety of fireplace designs. Our children and their friends used to find wonderful hiding places as they rushed up one flight of stairs and down another. We love its quaint attic cupboards and moving from some rooms essentially those of a country cottage, to others that have the elegance of a Georgian town house. How can one house be all those things? Best of all are the views over the walled garden – always relaxing to look at, much of it green throughout the entire year.

Whilst the pair of cedars of Lebanon dominate, the horse chestnut, Spanish horse chestnut, ceonothus, mimosa and laburnum each have their weeks of glory as the year goes round – as does the ancient wisteria snaking along the front wall unusually flowering at least twice each year. We have always had excellent neighbours within the Conservation area, many of whom have become good friends. Within a quarter of a mile’s flat walk we can be at the train station, the library, the GP and dental surgeries and the local shops, restaurants and cinema.

Close at hand are Boston Manor, Gunnersbury Park, Osterley, Syon Park, the Grand Union Canal and the Thames – for walks, nature and even more history! And yet we are only 30 minutes by train from Waterloo and the South Bank.
