Set on one of Hampstead’s most desirable streets, this substantial Grade II listed Georgian semi-detached house offers grand family living across circa 3,356 sq ft. The house retains period proportions, high ceilings, sash windows and original timber floors, and includes a celebrated top-floor artist’s studio with sweeping views over London and a commemorative Blue Plaque.
Accommodation is arranged over multiple floors and works well for family life and home working: a double drawing room, separate dining room, eat-in kitchen opening to a Yorkstone terrace, family room, two studies and a south-east facing landscaped garden – one of the largest on the street. Practical spaces include a pantry, utility room and secluded front courtyard.
Buyers should be aware this is a listed building within a conservation area. That status will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or modernisation. The EPC of E and assumed solid brick walls with no insulation indicate energy-efficiency work will likely be needed. Council tax is very expensive.
This is a rare opportunity for a household seeking a large, characterful family home in walking distance of Hampstead Heath and excellent local schools. The property suits purchasers who value historic provenance, generous entertaining spaces and a substantial garden, and who accept the responsibilities of owning a listed period home.
