Property Insight:

Built by Redrow as part of its Heritage collection, The Hampstead is a striking family home that effortlessly combines timeless elegance with the practicalities of modern living.  Designed in the classic Arts and Crafts style, its charming exterior—featuring intricate brickwork and characterful leaded windows—sets the tone for an interior that more than lives up to expectation.

Upon entering the spacious hallway, the first thing that strikes you is the immaculately styled interior but also its calm atmosphere, contributed to by the warm neutral colour palette.  The downstairs provides all the space you need for busy family life.  At the heart of the house is the stunning open-plan kitchen/dining/family room – the perfect space for entertaining friends or simply spending time as a family. 

The bespoke kitchen is set up for those who take their cooking (and entertaining) seriously.  Featuring sleek, forest green shaker-style cabinetry with white marble-effect worktops, the kitchen design is both classic and striking.  With plenty of storage space, a double-sink and integrated appliances (including dishwasher, fridge-freezer, double-oven and induction hob with wall-mounted stainless-steel hood), it’s a light-filled room thanks to the bifold doors which open on to the garden.  It’s easy to picture yourself perched at the kitchen peninsula enjoying that first freshly brewed coffee of the morning, or perhaps a well-earned glass of wine in the evening. 

The open-plan dining room is a superb space for both enjoying family meals and entertaining.  There’s plenty of room for a large dining table and chairs and the bifold doors can be opened up during the summer months for seamless indoor-outdoor living.  A perfect set-up for hosting summer gatherings with family and friends.  The adjacent family room is a cosy, informal room with calming sage-green walls and plenty of space for comfy sofas.  It’s a welcoming spot to sit back and relax or perhaps enjoy a film together.

Situated behind the family room is a stylish sitting room – an elegant and grown-up space featuring a large bay window, which floods the room with natural light, and a feature fireplace.  The plush cream carpet and tonal grey colour palette creates a tranquil ambience - it’s a perfect room for enjoying a quieter moment in the midst of hectic family life.  Completing the downstairs is a handy utility room - with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus outside access - and a cloakroom.  Both indispensable additions for any busy family.

Upstairs, leading off from the large landing area, are five well-proportioned bedrooms – four double bedrooms and a comfortable single.   All bedrooms are stylishly decorated and wouldn’t look out of place in a boutique hotel.  The principal bedroom is located to the front of the house and enjoys a beautiful bay window as well as a contemporary ensuite shower room.  There is a further ensuite shower room to one of the other double bedrooms, and each room has ample space for additional furniture.  The single bedroom would also make a fantastic nursery or study for home working.  The whole of the upstairs feels airy and calm – a delight to escape to and relax after a hectic day.  The family bathroom is modern and features a contemporary white suite with full-size bath and separate shower.

Outside, the back garden is mainly laid to lawn and provides plenty of space for children to enjoy time outside playing or a spot of football practice.  At the front of the house is a paved private driveway and double garage.

The Hampstead offers sustainable modern family living with a timeless aesthetic.  If you’re looking for an outstanding property that you can move straight into, this remarkable family home offers an impressive amount of thoughtfully designed living space crafted to the highest of standards.
