Think soaring ceilings, intricate wood paneling, open fireplaces and an entrance hall that feels downright\u00a0Downton Abbey. The drawing room, with its bay window and stately fireplace, is as refined as they come, while the kitchen, fitted with a Chalon design and classic Aga range, spills into a conservatory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s something undeniably special about this house \u2013 it\u2019s not just the possible link to Charles Rolls, though that certainly gives it a unique provenance. It\u2019s the feeling you get when you step through the door,\u201d says Geoff Wilford, founder of Wilfords London.\u00a0\u201cThe proportions are majestic, the detailing exquisite, and there\u2019s a sense of quiet confidence in every room. The sweeping carriage driveway wasn\u2019t just for show \u2013 it was designed with early motorcars in mind, back when the automobile was still a marvel. And that spirit of innovation, of elegant practicality, runs through the entire house.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/celebrity-homes\/mick-jagger-former-london-apartment-1236474034\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/celebrity-homes\/mick-jagger-former-london-apartment-1236474034\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> Mick Jagger\u2019s Former London Flat Hits the Market for $7 Million<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-robbreport-2017-v2\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Woodborough-Road-SW15-Hi-12.jpg\" alt=\"rolls-royce co-founder home\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tThere are bay windows and multiple fireplaces throughout the six-bedroom home.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWilfords London<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tUpstairs, there are six bedrooms spread across two floors, including a luxurious primary suite with a spa-like en-suite and a dressing room that wouldn\u2019t look out of place in a boutique hotel.
