House For Sale £2,300,000
Positioned on one of Hampstead’s finest residential streets is this beautiful four-bedroom house, extended and refurbished in recent years to a design by architect Jason Devaney. The expansive, bright interiors open out to a peaceful garden – also home to a studio – via large glazed doors that let in brilliant amounts of natural light. Lisburne Road is minutes from the green spaces and swimming ponds of Hampstead Heath, as well as the amenities of Hampstead Village and Belsize Park.
The Tour
The house presents a typically Victorian façade to the street, with an elegant redbrick bay on the ground floor and full-height glazing on the second floor. Set partially back from Lisburne Road, behind a small front garden, the house forms part of a charming terrace running south from Hampstead Heath towards Belsize Park. Upon entry, a truly modern approach to space, light and flow is apparent. The finest contemporary materials have been used and the overall configuration of the house has been thoughtfully enacted with modernist principles firmly in mind.
The kitchen can be found at the front of the house, nestled within the grand bay window; this has a window seat and an unbroken sightline that extends to the foot of the garden. This arrangement allows natural light to spill across the plan, resounding off the beautiful marble floors and sleek Corian worktops. The linear nature of the striated marble further accentuates this sense of seamless flow. Adjoining the kitchen is a cosy breakfast room with a marble fireplace and a pocket door leading to the hallway and cloakroom area.
Arguably the most impressive space is the large open-plan living and dining room, which is positioned three steps down from the kitchen and breakfast room. This area is fantastically bright, illuminated by light that streams in through a long row of skylights over the dining area. It extends out towards the back garden via an area that the current owners refer to as “the conservatory”; a living space with large-scale skylights above and glazed doors that open directly to the garden patio.
The first floor comprises three double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. The largest of the three occupies a wonderful position at the front of the house, with two large sash windows that draw in natural light from the west-facing aspect. There is also a large family bathroom on this floor.
The main bedroom and en suite occupy the entire top floor. High ceilings and a mono-pitched roof with two skylights ensure these spaces are exceptionally bright and airy, and there are built-in wardrobes which provide ample storage space. The en suite has marble tiles arranged in a herringbone pattern underfoot, as well as marble micro-tiles on the walls, twin sinks and a freestanding bath.
Outdoor Space
The east-facing garden is mostly paved, surrounded by raised beds with mature plants and shrubss. The current owners have set up two seating areas, one just beyond the conservatory’s glazed doors and another just outside the beautiful garden studio. This versatile space is perfect for a home gym, study, or even an artist’s studio. It has glazed doors oriented towards the house, as well as running water and electricity.
The Area
Lisburne Road is situated just three minutes walk from the open spaces of Hampstead Heath, and is a short walk to the shops and restaurants of Hampstead Village and Belsize Park. The fantastic Parliament Hill Lido is within five minutes walk. Nearby are the independent retailers of Fortress Road and the weekly farmers’ market at Parliament Hill. The boutiques and restaurants of Hampstead are within easy reach, while just across the Heath is Swains Lane and its wonderful array of shops, including Bourne’s Fishmongers, Fam Greengrocers, Primrose Hill Butchers and Gail’s. The area is also home to some of London’s best independent schools.
Gospel Oak station (London Overground) is around three minutes’ walk and Belsize Park Underground station (Northern Line) can be reached in around 12 minutes.
