Chudleigh Road, London, NW6

On a leafy street in community-focused Queen’s Park, this six-bedroom family home has been curated with an eye for contemporary design. With only five other houses on Chudleigh Road, this property enjoys a real sense of privacy.

A private gated driveway — complete with a separate garage — sets the home back from the street and offers parking for up to four cars. Its wide portico entrance is framed with climbing greenery and offers a welcoming tone. The entrance hallway is capacious and accentuates its modern framework with rustic accents: the brick fireplace is complete with a log burner, while white ceiling beams contrast with dark wood floors. To the left, a formal reception room has a classic feel with patterned glazing, a stone fireplace surround and opulent chandelier.

The hallway continues down into the home’s sweeping social heart; an open-plan kitchen and breakfast area to one side, and an open-plan living and dining room to the other. Darsupal floors and whitewashed walls span the entire space, affording a neutral canvas for creative interior design. The culinary setting is modish with dark wooden cabinetry and an industrial-esque range oven. Set beneath glass pendant lighting, a smooth-topped island makes for a casual eating spot. Behind it, a home bar is complete with two wine fridges. Next door, find a quiet study and separate utility room.

Beyond a large archway, the spacious living and dining room is flooded with natural light through a large picture window. The glass folds open to create synergy with the 30 metre-long private garden beyond. A decked patio spans the width of the property, leading to the tiki hut — imagined for alfresco entertaining. The long stretch of lawn is surrounded by a variety of planting, affording privacy and verdancy in equal measure.

Six bedrooms are spread across the upper two floors, each finished with a soothing palette of colours and materials. The principal bedroom is filled with sunlight through a bay window, complete with floor-to ceiling curtains. A row of wardrobes leads to its en suite bathroom, featuring a dual vanity, bathtub and inviting waterfall shower. This bedroom enjoys a dedicated dressing room next door, which can be reimagined as an additional bedroom. Three additional bathrooms, one of which is en suite, complete the property.
