6 bed detached house for sale

Elm Walk, Hampstead, London NW3

Built in a neo-Georgian style, the handsome proeprty is situated on one of the area’s best and most desirable roads, within a short distance of Hampstead Village and Hampstead Heath. The double fronted house has sash windows, a grand pedimented entrance and pleasingly symmetrical elevations under a hipped roof: All the hallmarks of a Georgian home but in a modern construction, with no expense spared internally. A dark, moody aesthetic is achieved by the complementary dark wood floors, doors and wooden trim, feature lighting and a background palette of cool, neutral shades. The kitchen is a particular highlight, with marble work surfaces, ample cabinetry, and a range of appliances including a Rangemaster stove.

The expansive accommodation is arranged across three floors, extending to almost 4,000 sq ft with generously proportioned rooms throughout. Downstairs, an inviting entrance hall leads to a formal dining room, office with bay window and dual aspect reception room which opens to the rear garden via a set of French doors. The kitchen is open plan, with a central island serving as a breakfast bar and an adjoining family room in a later extension. A utility room with space for laundry machines is tucked in a corner of the garage.

Upstairs, first floor accommodation is arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom is a fantastic space, the bedroom leading to its own private sitting room, dressing room and en suite bathroom. There is a further en suite bedroom ideally suited to guests, and two further double bedrooms – which interconnect – sharing a family bathroom. On the second floor, the two remaining bedrooms are en suite and built-in storage.

The layout and size of the bedrooms lends the house well to larger families and multi-generational living. The house is set behind a pretty front garden: Two parcels of lawn bisected by a pedestrian path, behind a low fence. Shrubs and mature hedging and trees border the house, adding colour and interest, while a private driveway sits to the right of the lawned area, leading up to an attached garage.

The rear garden faces south-west and measures 60 x 40 feet, arranged across two levels and laid to low-maintenance astroturf. A deck adjoins the back of the house providing an outside space for dining alfresco.

Elm Walk is arguably one of the area’s loveliest no-through roads, a secluded and leafy close leading north from West Heath Road. On the east side of the road, the wide and open expanse of Hampstead Heath extends north and east; both West Heath and Golders Hill Park are easily accessible being nearby, walk, leading to the wider expanses of the Heath.

Hampstead Village is within easy reach, with its independent shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants and pubs, while Finchley Road provides a wide range of everyday amenities, including Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and the O2 Centre. Hampstead Heath is also close by, offering extensive open space, woodland, bathing ponds and access to Kenwood House.

The area is exceptionally well connected, with Hampstead and Golders Green Underground Stations, both on the Northern Line, under one mile away.
