Wellgarth RoadLondon, NW11 7HP

A rarely available detached Arts and Crafts residence, built in 1920 and thoughtfully extended to the rear in 1925, occupying an unusually wide plot within the Suburb. Offering close to 4,000 sq ft of predominantly lateral accommodation, the house combines impressive proportions, architectural character and a magnificent mature garden.

Having been cherished by the present owners for more than 40 years, the property has been meticulously maintained and possesses a wonderful sense of permanence and understated elegance. Original architectural details sit comfortably alongside the generous proportions, creating a home of considerable warmth and distinction.

The ground floor is particularly impressive, with four principal reception rooms providing an exceptional degree of lateral living and entertaining space. At its heart is the original 26' x 20' vaulted billiards room, a remarkable and characterful room of scale and presence. This is complemented by an elegant drawing room, formal dining room and family room/study, allowing for both grand entertaining and more relaxed everyday living. A generous kitchen/breakfast room with adjoining conservatory provides a natural hub to the house, while a utility room and guest cloakroom complete the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor is arranged around a particularly attractive dual-aspect principal bedroom suite, incorporating a substantial en-suite bathroom. There are three further well-proportioned double bedrooms and a family bathroom.
At garden level, additional accommodation offers considerable flexibility and could be arranged as a fifth bedroom with bathroom, ideal for guests, older children or independent living. There may also be scope to extend into the loft, subject to the necessary HGST and local authority consents, providing an opportunity for a future owner to further enhance the house if desired.

The garden is undoubtedly one of the defining features of the property. Measuring approximately 80' x 78', it has been beautifully planted and nurtured over many years to create a wonderfully established and private setting. A broad terrace adjoining the house provides an elegant space for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, with steps descending to an expansive lawn framed by mature trees and thoughtfully composed planting.

Adding to the sense of seclusion, a discreet gate at the rear of the garden provides access to an exclusive communal garden, an unusual and highly desirable privilege enjoyed by a limited number of neighbouring residents. A double-depth garage, together with additional off-street parking, completes this exceptional home.

This is a house of rare character and considerable charm, distinguished by its unusually generous lateral proportions, beautiful Arts and Crafts architecture and exceptional garden. After more than four decades in the same ownership, it presents a wonderful opportunity for its next custodian to create a new chapter
