3 bedroom house for sale

Overview

This elegant Victorian terraced house is built from classic London-Stock brick accented with original corbels, exterior finished with a Farrow & Ball Off-Black facade augmented with stunningly pendulous wisteria. The property unfolds over 4 floors and has been given new life through thoughtful renovation, a considered palette and an appealing mix of premium materials and exceptional taste.  The internal space has been carefully curated, creating a series of harmonious internal and external spaces, with a focus on tranquillity, wellbeing and quiet luxury. Considerate and tasteful attention to detail is evident throughout, with the space thoughtfully delineated into functional connected zones.    The ground floor is almost entirely open plan providing a vista from the shuttered front window to the fire-pit and gate at the back of the garden, creating a sense of flow and tranquillity between the spaces, but with clear and considered divisions, unified through the heated micro-cement floor elegantly juxtaposed with original period features.    The kitchen is unobtrusive, stainless-steel worktops accented with marble shelves displaying glassware; under-counter fridge and freezer units and high gloss white cabinets; integrated dishwasher, wine fridge and Smeg range cooker harmoniously finished in stainless-steel are complemented with original cornicing and exquisitely restored ceiling roses which beautifully blend a period tone with a clean, modern and functional feel.    The dining area is bordered with original shutters and a working flued fireplace with alcoves, creating a versatile and bright space for dining/entertaining.   To the rear is a cleverly concealed guest WC and coat storage housed under the stairs, beyond which is a utility room with functional cabinetry concealing tumble-dryer and washing-machine alongside useful storage.    Beyond the kitchen, a split-level versatile study, music or even play room with striking Crittal-style aspect double French doors that welcome the outside in. The micro-cement floors of the interior continue, creating a sense of visual coherence, seamlessly connecting to the outdoor space.    Thoughtfully delineated into two interconnected zones the outdoor space continues the cultured synthesis of function and form, augmented with a focussed horticultural palate of bamboo and banana trees. Adjacent to the glazed facade and French-doors is an open dining area screened from the Northern aspect by an established evergreen Magnolia, and bordered with open wood-stores and an outdoor kitchen comprising a gas powered stainless-steel BBQ, polished concrete work-top and butler sink. Beyond this and adjacent to the East facing aspect of the walled garden - more Marakesh than Kentish Town - you will find banquette benches surrounding a Corten fire-pit, cossetted with a wall of banana and bamboo; Davey lighting fixtures throughout provide flexible illumination forming an elegant escape - the perfect spot for morning coffee or evening suppers in warmer months.   A wall mounted fast-charger serves to charge an EV immediately outside of the back gate.   Subtle but visible Nest security cameras oversee the front and rear of the house, with Banham locks on front, rear and garden entrances all operated from a single passing key. Secure access from the front is facilitated by a Banham full colour audio-visual entry system, with terminals on ground, first and top floors of the house. Stylish wrought iron railings at the front feature a sliding mechanism designed and engineered to provide access for a large motorbike (with ground anchor), while rendering the bins directly accessible from the street, obviating the unpleasant and burdensome task of putting them out on collection days.    From the ground floor black painted balustrades with mahogany hand rail and jute covered stairs lead to an original stained-glass door on the half landing, housing a micro-cement wet room equipped with Effigibi sauna clad in fragrant dark wood, with Lefroy Brooks 1920 Ten-Ten overhead shower and wand, accompanied by a demure compact dark marble basin with an elegantly modern Lefroy Brooks 2000 XO mixer tap.     The first floor, originally bedrooms, is versatile and currently an open-plan living area with engineered oak floors. The rear space elegantly lends itself to an office, study or library, even a bedroom, or simply as is, an extension of the living room with it's extra height Parisian style balcony doors opening to a serene and secluded, decked terrace with concealed under-deck and up-lighting, and banquette seating overlooking the rear garden. The lounge room to the front interconnects to the rear room through stripped original full-width internal double French doors, harmonising with the 8ft external doors to the rear aspect which flood both rooms with natural morning light, while the West facing double sash windows to the front provide similarly spectacular illumination with the warmer evening light.    Both rooms feature original cornices, ceiling roses with thoughtfully conceived lighting, imbuing the spaces with atmosphere and elegance - as it is throughout the house.    On the way to the second floor, original stained glass dapple the stairs with light. The second floor houses two beautifully bright bedrooms, served by a connecting Jack & Jill bathroom, tastefully tiled with a heated floor and elegant Lefroy Brooks sanitary ware.    Secluded refuge and supreme comfort is found on the top floor. Occupied by the master-suite this space epitomises stylish functionality, tastefully extended with cohesive flow and considered design for living. Rich textured bespoke cabinetry is complemented by aged brass Forbes & Lomax hardware (throughout the home). The stunning West facing aspect is served by a panoramic horizontal five metre window, which floods the room with light and warmth from the afternoon sun and a vista of the evening sunset. Inside, an integrated projector screen descends in front of the dual closets to provide epic large screen viewing and ceiling mounted superior sound, from the comfort of your bed. The en-suite wet-room is screened by a full width Fabco reeded glass wall with integrated sliding door and heated floor. Lefroy Brooks sanitary ware is continued, with generous twin cabinets with hyper extending doors mirrored inside and out for full vision and versatility. Healey Street is a short, quiet residential cul-de-sac, ideally located between Camden Town, Chalk Farm, and Kentish Town and is one of the most desirable roads in the neighbourhood. Sufficiently quiet and uncongested to park your car immediately outside the front door on most nights, Healey Street is extremely well-connected for public transport, with Kentish Town West at the end of the road and four Underground stations within a mile. Nestled between the vibrant neighbourhoods of Camden, Primrose Hill, Belsize Park and Tufnell Park, Kentish Town offers a family-friendly community with tree-lined streets, renowned schools (including the Lycee and Camden School for Girls), excellent transport links and an array of local amenities. Within walking distance you'll find the wild tranquillity of Hampstead Heath and the manicured beauty of Regent's Park as well as the stunning vistas of Primrose Hill and bustle of Camden Town. The eclectic mix of independent restaurants cafes and shops on the high street creates a desirable but unpretentious atmosphere.  For more details and to contact: https://realtyww.info/houses_london-d196251/for-sale_i71472795
