Most houses grate, this house is great.

Few properties come to market that so perfectly capture the spirit of Hampstead—where period character and cultural heritage combine with family-friendly practicality. Pointed arch sash windows, wood floors, panelled doors and working fireplaces reflect the home’s Regency origins, while a light-filled rear extension opens onto a mature and secluded garden. Enter, and the old timber and design details offer a sense of seasoned wisdom, creating a retreat that feels far removed from the bustle of London life.

As you move through the house, glimpses of the garden framed by elegant windows, or a cosy reading room tucked away, evoke Elizabeth Bowen’s words: “Nothing can happen nowhere. The house shelters day-dreaming, the house protects the dreamer, the house allows one to dream in peace.”
