Hanover Road, London, NW10

This exceptional five-bedroom Edwardian residence has been masterfully transformed, blending classic architectural charm with contemporary sophistication.

Extended and renovated with precision, the home encompasses approximately 2,500 sq ft arranged over three thoughtfully designed floors. Period features have been sensitively preserved while modern craftsmanship introduces a refined elegance. Rare for homes of this era, the property also includes the valuable asset of off-street parking.

A wide entrance hall welcomes you into a serene front reception room, where soaring ceilings, an ornate original fireplace, and a bay window adorned with stained glass bring a sense of history and grace. To the rear, a remarkable open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area takes center stage. A glass-roofed side return, punctuated by exposed charred timber and diagonally set metal panels, invites shifting light and shadow throughout the day, adding depth and movement to the interior. Large sliding glass doors provide uninterrupted views of the landscaped garden, forging a seamless connection between indoors and out.

The bespoke kitchen is a study in streamlined functionality. Its handleless cabinetry emphasizes clean lines, while integrated appliances—including a downdraft extractor, Quooker tap, and combination microwave—maintain a clutter-free aesthetic. A full-height quartz splashback and shelving extend to the ceiling, creating a continuous visual rhythm that enhances the feeling of openness.

Outside, the garden has been intelligently designed with clearly defined zones. The stone patio flows directly from the main living space, creating a natural extension for entertaining or everyday living. A central lawn adds softness, while a sunlit, elevated deck at the rear provides the perfect setting for quiet relaxation or al fresco gatherings.

Upstairs, the first floor is anchored by a luxurious principal suite, originally two rooms, now reconfigured to include a walk-through dressing area, subtle stained glass details, and an elegant en suite bathroom. Two further double bedrooms and a sleek family bathroom also occupy this level, along with a cleverly concealed utility cupboard. The upper floor houses two additional double bedrooms and a contemporary shower room, completing this beautifully balanced and versatile family home.

Kensal Rise and Kensal Green stations are both within easy walking distance, providing excellent connections via the Overground and Bakerloo lines. This makes commuting into central London or further afield fast and convenient. Meanwhile, Chamberlayne Road—the heart of the local scene—is just a short stroll away, boasting a curated selection of independent cafés, artisan bakeries, stylish boutiques, and renowned gastropubs including The Island and Paradise by Way of Kensal Green.

Families are drawn to the area for its excellent selection of schools, green spaces, and a warm, community-driven spirit. Nearby Queen’s Park and the open acres of Roundwood Park provide welcome greenery and room to roam, while Portobello Road, Notting Hill, and Golborne Road are within easy reach for weekend exploring.

Hanover Road itself is a quiet, residential street that reflects the best of Kensal Rise living: a close-knit neighbourhood feel, beautiful architecture, and all the energy of one of North West London’s most desirable postcodes just moments from your door.
