Summary - 38A ABERCORN PLACE LONDON NW8 9XP
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Spacious family house with internal garden and gated parking by Regent’s Park.
Over 3,200 sq ft of architect-designed living and entertaining space
An architect-designed family house framed by a classic St John’s Wood façade, offering more than 3,200 sq ft across three floors. The house centres on a striking 33 ft by 29 ft reception with full-height glazing and an internal garden that floods living space with light — ideal for entertaining or relaxed family days. The layout places the principal bedroom suite on the ground floor, while four further bedrooms and flexible living areas occupy the lower ground level.
Practical benefits include gated off-street parking, a wine cellar, gym and a private landscaped front garden. The property is freehold and sits close to St John’s Wood High Street, the Jubilee Line and open green space at Regent’s Park — convenient for schools, transport and leisure. An EPC rating of C and mains gas heating provide reasonable running efficiency for a home of this size.
Notable points for buyers: records show both 'new build' and 'constructed before 1900,' so the property merges historic fabric with contemporary architectural work; walls are listed as solid brick with no insulation assumed and the glazing is secondary — further insulation work may be needed to improve thermal performance. Council tax is described as very expensive and the plot is modest in size, so outdoor space is private but limited compared with larger suburban gardens.
This home suits a family seeking generous, well‑designed accommodation in a prime London neighbourhood, with the potential to tailor thermal upgrades and decorating to personal taste. The rare convenience of gated parking and the low-crime, highly affluent area add lasting appeal for buyers prioritising location and privacy.
