Stunning Chiswick Property Listed For £6.95M

Nestled on Stamford Brook Road in Chiswick, this grand former vicarage might trigger déjà vu. Recognized as the property of multi-millionaire developer Kam Babaee, you may recall it from the BBC’s Crazy Rich Agents or the glossy pages of social magazines. The opulent residence has played host to a myriad of Hollywood and royal A-listers, including Eva Longoria, Will.i.am, and Antonio Banderas.

Now on the market for £6.95 million, the residence spans an impressive 7,075 square feet, blending bold contemporary design with an abundance of character and heritage charm. Boasting seven bedrooms, four reception rooms, a courtyard garden, lower ground floor leisure space, and off-street parking, the property is tailored for entertaining and can effortlessly accommodate up to 100 guests.

Occupying a substantial corner plot on Stamford Brook Road and Flanchford Road, The Vicarage, crafted by architect Chas J Gladman in 1886, initially served the neighboring church of St Mary’s. After being converted into flats in 1984, Kam Babaee acquired the property in 1999, transforming it into a familial abode.

In 2003, architect and heritage specialist Anthony McGuire, along with skilled artisans, meticulously renovated the space, enlarging and modernizing it, including the addition of a new lower ground floor. The refurbishment accentuated existing period features while introducing new interior elements. The ground-floor entrance hall, adorned with an original limestone fireplace from AD1886 and granite flooring, leads to a Gothic-style staircase guiding to the upper floors, where original stained-glass windows bathe the landings, stairwell, and hall in natural light.

At the heart of the home lies a breathtaking 40ft long reception room flooded with light. Oak parquet flooring, arched Gothic windows, an original Victorian fireplace, and an intricately detailed high ceiling define this space. The room also features a bespoke cocktail bar by the renowned furniture designer Smallbone, whose craftsmanship extends throughout the house, from the kitchen to the bedrooms.

The extensive restoration project became the catalyst for Kam Babaee's acclaimed property company, K10 Group, established in 2008. The Vicarage serves as a precursor to the lavish luxury heritage restorations and new-builds that have since become synonymous with K10's reputation.
