Located on one of North West London’s most prestigious streets, this substantial five-bedroom freehold house offers exceptional scale and period character for a family seeking space and privacy. The principal suite and three further en-suite bedrooms provide flexible, private accommodation, while a separate fifth bedroom and additional bathrooms suit guests or live-in staff. Chain free sale and automated security gates add practical convenience and security.
The layout includes four reception rooms—a formal lounge, sitting room, conservatory and study—plus a large kitchen/breakfast room and utility/boot rooms. Outside, a very large plot features a landscaped rear garden and courtyard, off-street parking for multiple cars and a double garage, making the house well suited to family life and entertaining.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations: broadband speeds are reported as slow; the property sits on solid brick walls likely without cavity insulation (constructed 1930–1949), and council tax is very expensive. These factors may require investment to upgrade services and improve energy efficiency.
Overall, the house blends Tudor Revival character and generous proportions in a highly sought-after, affluent area with excellent local schools and easy access to Hampstead Heath and East Finchley Underground. It will appeal to families who prioritise space, privacy and a prestigious address and who are prepared to carry out selective modernisation to improve comfort and running costs.
