Ellerdale Road, London, NW3

An historic Hampstead coach house reimagined as a timeless home of character and distinction.

Description

Superbly positioned on one of Hampstead’s most desirable roads behind a walled and gated front garden, Stables Lodge is a home (3240 sqft / 301 sqm) of exceptional charm and heritage. Once a distinguished 19th-century coach house to the grand residence at No. 9 Ellerdale Road, Stables Lodge is a remarkable Queen Anne revival home designed circa 1880 by Theodore K. Green, one of London’s leading Victorian architects.

Originally conceived as a high-status detached coach house complete with elegant stabling, a billiard room, and a glass conservatory, the building soon evolved into a graceful private residence by the early 20th century. Many original architectural features remain, blending historic character with modern comfort — from the handsome red-brick façade and classic sash windows to traces of the original oak panelling and parquet floors.

Extensively and sensitively restored in recent decades, the house retains its distinctive historical form while offering an incoming buyer an opportunity to personalise to their taste an style.

Over the years, Stables Lodge has been home to an array of notable residents, including Sir Joseph Beecham, heir to the famous Beecham family; Sir Percival Liesching, a distinguished civil servant and diplomat; and Group Captain Kaj Birksted, a decorated WWII Spitfire pilot. Each era has left its mark, weaving a rich tapestry of heritage, character, and timeless charm.
