Life In London’s First Garden Suburb

  • 12 hours ago

Our Founder and CEO, Alisa Zotimova, is featured in the latest issue of Mayfair magazine, published this January, presenting a landmark property in Bedford Park. In the article, Alisa highlights a beautifully preserved Grade II listed six-bedroom detached house originally designed by Norman Shaw in 1878. You can read the full piece below.

Envisioned over 150 years ago, London’s garden suburbs began as bold experiments in healthy, family-friendly living, reshaping the capital by fusing nature, architecture and community. The whole movement was built on the belief that a well‑designed environment could nurture stronger households and a more balanced society.

Fast forward to today and AZ Real Estate is proud to present a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural and cultural heritage in Bedford Park, London’s first garden suburb.

Located at Queen Anne’s Gardens, this beautifully preserved and sensitively updated Grade II listed six-bedroom detached house is available for sale with no onward chain. Designed in 1878 by the celebrated architect Norman Shaw, the property was once home to Jonathan Carr, the visionary cloth merchant and developer who helped shape Bedford Park into the leafy, family-friendly enclave it is today.

Spanning over 4,132 square feet, this freehold residence offers a harmonious blend of historic charm and modern living, featuring one of Bedford Park’s largest west-facing gardens. Inside, elegant period details include open fireplaces, wooden flooring, and decorative cornicing. There is a large loft room perfect for a home office, cinema, or playroom, while two cellars and off-street parking complete the rounded offer.

Alisa Zotimova, founder and CEO of AZ Real Estate (pictured), says:

This is a truly special Chiswick family home, steeped in architectural pedigree and historical significance, with incredibly generous proportions and a serene garden setting. It’s a rare chance to live in a house that embodies the spirit of Bedford Park while offering all the comforts of contemporary family life, in one of the most sought-after enclaves of the capital.

Located on one of the area’s most prestigious roads, the property is just minutes from Chiswick Common and Turnham Green Terrace, known for its vibrant mix of independent cafés, restaurants, boutiques and top performing schools. Residents also enjoy proximity to La Trompette, a Michelin-starred restaurant, and excellent transport links via Turnham Green, Stamford Brook, and Chiswick Park Underground stations. This exceptional home is ideal for families seeking space, character, and community in one of West London’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

On the market for £6,250,000. Please contact AZ Real Estate on +44 2038 714 074 or visit azrealestate.uk.
