A striking Victorian semi-detached house overlooking Hampstead Ponds and the Heath, arranged over five floors and extending to approximately 3,592 sq ft. The property retains many period features — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, bay windows and original fireplaces — offering a rare combination of character and scale in NW3.
The raised ground floor offers a traditional double reception with large bay windows and decorative detail, while the lower ground floor leads from a sizeable kitchen/diner to a mature rear garden with uninterrupted pond views. Bedrooms occupy the upper floors, including a generous first-floor principal suite and a top-floor room with a balcony and wide outlooks.
The house requires renovation and modernisation, which presents clear potential to configure living spaces, improve energy performance (walls are solid brick, assumed uninsulated) and install contemporary services. Council tax is very expensive and the plot is relatively small for the house’s overall footprint — important practical considerations for families.
Well placed between Hampstead and Belsize Park with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and a strong local school offer including top independent options, this rare period home will suit buyers seeking a large family residence with significant character and the scope to refurbish to modern standards.
