Summary - 38 HEATH HURST ROAD LONDON NW3 2RX
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Rare five-bedroom Victorian detached home near Hampstead Heath with garage and loft potential.
Approx. 3,334 sq ft of period family accommodation
A rarely available five-bedroom Victorian detached house set over three floors, offering generous family accommodation and strong period character. High ceilings, bay windows and decorative cornicing create bright, elegant living spaces; the ground floor provides two large receptions, a kitchen/breakfast room and direct access to a decked patio and 21' roof terrace with wide outlooks. The property includes a garage, off-street resident parking and use of a nearby private residents' garden.
The house extends to approximately 3,334 sq ft and includes a large entrance hall with stained glass, a corner study, utility room and a substantial loft (approx. 942 sq ft) with scope for conversion subject to permissions — useful potential to add value or create additional living space. Three double bedrooms occupy the top floor while two further principal bedrooms and a sizeable family bathroom are on the first floor; there is also a ground-floor shower room adjacent to the secondary entrance that was previously used for a therapy practice.
Practical considerations are straightforward but material: the building is solid-brick Victorian construction with no assumed wall insulation and mains gas boiler heating, so energy-efficiency upgrades may be needed. The house sits in a very affluent inner-city location moments from Hampstead Heath and local transport, but it carries Council Tax band H (very expensive) and the local area records above-average crime statistics. These factors should be weighed against the property's size, location and scope for improvement.
Well suited to a family seeking space, character and proximity to top schools and green space, or to a buyer planning sympathetic refurbishment to maximise the large footprint and loft potential. The house’s scale, garage and parking in this part of NW3 are genuine strengths; buyers should budget for modernisation and energy upgrades before expecting lower running costs.
