2 bed Flat For Sale £795,000
Positioned on a quiet street a short walk from Queen's Park, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment exemplifies a considered, pared-back approach to design. Recently renovated by the current owner, the interior spaces are calm and welcoming. There is a secluded rear garden, as well as a private patio off the main bedroom. Queen's Park is a much-loved corner of northwest London, with a range of excellent delis, markets and pubs, plus pockets of greenery, including Queen's Park itself and Paddington Recreation Ground.
The Tour
The apartment lies within a traditional Victorian terraced house set back from the street behind a well-maintained front garden. A monochrome, diamond-patterned tiled path paves the way to the front door, which opens to a communal entrance hall; a second door here opens to the apartment itself, which is arranged across the ground and lower-ground floors.
At the front of the plan lies the living room. A beautifully bright space, this is oriented around a large fireplace. Original to the house, the cast-iron mantlepiece frames colourful glazed tiles within, while square glazed tiles clad the hearth in front of the working, open fire. The south-facing room is flooded with light that enters through a three-bay window, illuminating original pine floorboards that have been carefully restored.
The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the plan, a few steps down from the other living spaces. A voluminous extension with two large skylights has been added, increasing the already excellent levels of natural light. A glazed door to the garden and a large, vertical window above the sink complements this. Within the kitchen itself, a simple palette of grey porcelain floor tiles, dark grey worktops and white cabinetry has been used, creating a sleek, pared-back aesthetic. Appliances have been built in and include a Neff oven. A dining area is currently positioned below the skylights, ensuring the room is a sociable space where cooking and entertaining can happen at the same time.
The two bedrooms each have a bright, fresh atmosphere, with white walls and original pine floorboards. The main bedroom has direct access to a private patio through a glazed door, which also welcomes light into the space. A slim cast-iron fireplace works in clever contrast with the larger fireplace in the living room. The second bedroom has a window onto the patio and would work equally well as an office.
In the bathroom, terracotta floor tiles from Fired Earth bring a subtle texture to the interior scheme. Glazed ceramic tiles in a pale green, also from Fired Earth, clad the walls around the bath. A large cupboard in the hallway works as a storage and utility area.
Outdoor Space
The garden is a peaceful, secluded space that receives a beautiful quality of afternoon light. Steps ascend to a decked area at the rear where there is ample space for a seating area, and ivy clambers over timber trellises to add a textured dash of greenery. Raised beds extend around the borders.
There is also a private patio accessed directly from the main bedroom, which makes for an excellent alternative outdoor option.
The Area
Victoria Road is positioned only a seven-minute walk from Queen's Park. Salusbury Road is home to a branch of Gail’s bakery, Planet Organic, Provenance Butchers, Queens Park Books and both the Salusbury Wine Shop and The Salusbury Deli. A weekly farmer’s market is located at the primary school on the same road, while the popular Alice House and Salusbury Pub are recommended for food and drinks. The vibrant Lonsdale Road offers further provisions from the likes of Bread Ahead bakery, coffee roasters Milk Beach and brewery/bar Wolfpack; there is a street food market on Sunday mornings that runs alongside vintage markets. The Kiln Theatre is also close by.
Queens Park provides a wonderful pocket of greenery nearby, with its tennis courts, playground and children’s petting zoo. Paddington Recreation Ground is also close at hand, with a running track where Roger Bannister trained (renowned for his four-minute mile), tennis courts, a nature trail and a children’s play area.
Several renowned secondary schools, such as University College School, South Hampstead, Channing, St Margarets and Arnold House, are around a 10-minute drive from the house. For younger children, the highly-rated Mulberry House School is a short walk away. Also within walking distance are the excellent Malorees, Christchurch, North West London School, Emmanuel C of E Primary School and Beckford School.
The house is a short walk from Queens Park Underground station (Bakerloo Line), where there is also an Overground service that runs to Euston in approximately ten minutes. Kilburn Underground station (Jubilee Line), and Brondesbury Overground station, with direct lines into East London, are both nearby. The A5 is close for easy routes to the north circular and out of London.
