Set on Mapesbury Road, this detached red‑brick Edwardian residence offers generous living over 4,533 sq ft, with eight bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large kitchen/breakfast room opening to an 83 ft private garden. Original period details survive — ornate cornicing, cast‑iron fireplaces and distinctive monochrome stained glass — giving a strong foundation for a sympathetic refurbishment. The southerly rear aspect brings good daylight to the garden and rear rooms.
The house benefits from a long, 40 ft driveway providing off‑street parking for several cars and a sense of seclusion behind mature hedging and a horse‑chestnut tree. Transport links are strong: Kilburn (Jubilee Line, Zone 2) and Brondesbury Overground (Zone 2) are nearby, making central London commuting straightforward.
Practical points: the layout is largely compartmentalised and dated in parts, so the property will reward a buyer prepared to modernise or reconfigure the internal plan. Walls are solid brick with no assumed insulation and some decorative areas and kitchens appear in need of updating. Council tax is very expensive and local crime levels are high; the area is also recorded as relatively deprived, which buyers should factor into long‑term running costs and resale considerations.
This is a rare chance to acquire a substantial freehold plot in a sought NW2 conservation‑edge location. For a growing household or an investor seeking a conversion/refurbishment opportunity, the scale, period character and private garden create strong potential once modernisation and possible insulation/efficiency works are undertaken.
