4 bed terraced house for sale

Camden Mews VI, London NW1

This handsome four-bedroom home lies on Camden Mews, a sought-after pocket of north-west London, renowned for its vibrant creative community and architectural diversity. Set over three levels, the interiors have been masterfully renovated and extended by the current owners with a refined palette of colours and materials. A south-facing top-floor terrace and generous rear garden extend the footprint of the house in the warmer months. Served by excellent public transport connections, the house is equidistant from stations at Camden Town, Kentish Town and Caledonian Road.

The Mews

One of London's most architecturally intriguing streets, Camden Mews demonstrates a variety of building styles. Much of it was constructed in the 1840s, when it was used as a coach house and stables for the larger houses surrounding Camden Square and Cliff Road.

In the 20th century, it became a popular spot for artists and architects to set up their studios. Several established architects built homes on the street, including Edward 'Ted' Cullinan and Tom Kay. Today, it lies within the Camden Square conservation area.

The Tour

Positioned on a quiet, residential street, the house is defined by a mottled brick façade punctuated by new, black-framed glazing. A green-painted door creates a welcoming first impression.

Entry is to the hall, with a direct line of sight toward the back garden. To the left, the utility room is fitted with a plywood wardrobe and a washer/dryer unit topped with terrazzo-effect surfaces by Claybrook. There is also a guest WC. Next door is a compact room that currently serves as a tranquil study.

Across all three floors, crisp white walls enhance the impression of openness and are grounded by dark, brushed oak veneer floorboards in muted tones. New solid oak pocket doors, black-framed windows, sleek cast-iron radiators and bespoke plywood joinery create a sense of cohesion throughout.

Steps ascend to the dining and living area, arranged as an open-plan; Crittall-style doors along the southern elevation invite natural light to pour in while providing access to the garden.

The plan flows to the adjacent kitchen, where the gaze is drawn to the splashback wall clad in elegant 'Baroque Opera' tiles by Mandarin Stone. Bespoke units are designed in a u-shape with streamlined fronts and quartz surfaces, offering plenty of space for food preparation. There is a range cooker by Rangemaster, and integrated appliances. A south-facing clerestory window maximises natural light.

The original staircase has been reinstated and painted in a deep shade of brown, 'Cordoba' by Little Greene. It rises to the first floor, home to three double bedrooms. The largest of these overlooks the back garden. The family bathroom has a roll-top bathtub and is finished with a combination of terrazzo-effect cement tiles underfoot and a tiled accent wall in earthy tones to an atmospheric effect, the former by Claybrook and latter by Mandarin Stone.

Quietly removed to the top floor, the principal suite is set within the eaves. Abundant natural light enters through glazed double doors that lead to a secluded terrace, and a built-in corner wardrobe provides additional storage. The beautiful en suite wet room has high vaulted ceilings and a rainfall showerhead, with tiling by Mandarin Stone and Ca'Pietra.

Outdoor Space

A south-facing suntrap ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, the paved garden is accessed from the reception room. It has high fencing ensuring wonderful privacy and calm, and a door at the back that provides direct access to a quiet cul-de-sac. Crowning the house is a secluded decked terrace; also facing south, it offers a perfect spot for reading a book or relaxing from sunrise to sunset.

There is off-street parking for up to two cars.
