Kendal Road, NW10

A family home like this simply doesn’t come along very often.

Renovated from the ground up to the exacting standards of its architect owner, the attention to detail is uncompromising. Every finish, every sightline, every material has been considered and chosen with thought and precision. It’s not just renovated, it’s been reimagined.

Positioned directly opposite Gladstone Park, this property offers a lifestyle. Eighty-six acres of open green space literally on the doorstep, tennis courts, woodland walks, football pitches, rolling lawns and a cafe for that post-dog-walk coffee. It has that authentic neighbourhood feel people talk about, community-led. The surrounding lettered streets, part of the area’s late Victorian planning, give this pocket its distinctive character and quiet sense of identity.

The layout is intelligently designed for modern family life.

A smart, generous entrance hall invites you straight in, wide, welcoming and ideal for meet-and-greet moments. Beyond it, floor-to-ceiling doors open into the heart of the home: a warm, expansive open-plan living, kitchen and dining space overlooking the private south-facing garden. Full-width sliding glass doors flood the room with light and create seamless indoor-outdoor living.

The brand-new architecturally designed kitchen is finished to meticulous detail. Full-height fridge and separate full-height freezer, integrated appliances, sleek cabinetry, layered lighting and clever storage solutions, it’s a space designed to function beautifully and look effortless doing it. Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire property, adding comfort beneath the clean architectural lines. A separate utility room with excellent storage keeps the practical side of life neatly tucked away.

On the ground floor, two versatile rooms offer real flexibility. They work equally well as additional bedrooms, a TV snug, office or a dedicated nanny or multi-generational living suite, supported by a beautifully finished full shower room on the same level. Adaptable space like this is becoming increasingly invaluable. Outside, the private south-facing garden is bathed in sunlight and offers privacy, while the private driveway comfortably accommodates two cars.

Upstairs, a striking staircase with metal balustrades leads to three further double bedrooms, two with en-suites. The principal suite enjoys a bay window framing open views across Gladstone Park, alongside a walk-in wardrobe and a stylish en-suite with double sinks, marble finishes and subtle Art Deco references. Clever lighting within the vaulted gable enhances the architectural drama while keeping the feel warm and inviting.

The top floor delivers yet another substantial versatile living space with vaulted ceilings, Velux windows and extensive eaves storage make it an ideal teenage retreat, guest suite or creative studio.

Living here means you’re opposite the wonderful Gladstone Park, with its tree-lined avenues leading up to one of London’s finest views: the sun setting beyond Wembley’s iconic arch. The much-loved Stables Cafe makes the perfect weekend pit stop, while tennis courts, sports fields, playgrounds, wild areas, and woodland make it a true children’s paradise.

Families are spoilt for choice with excellent schooling. The sought-after Living Spring Nursery is close by, along with Anson Primary School, Mulberry House. Many private schools in Hampstead also operate coach pick-ups from the area.

Local shops are within walking distance, morning coffee and weekend pastries are taken care of by Gail's, a firm local favourite and natural meeting point for neighbours. For dinner, Sanzio offers well-regarded Italian cuisine and a relaxed atmosphere, ideal for family meals or an easy midweek supper. Everyday essentials are covered by a large Sainsbury's, while New Care Pharmacy provides a reliable and well-run local pharmacy, adding to the practical ease of the location.  

Brent Cross and Staples Corner are a short drive away, and the significant Brent Cross Town regeneration continues to transform the wider area with new retail, leisure, green spaces and improved infrastructure, a long-term positive for connectivity and investment.

Kendal Road is exceptionally well connected. Nearby Willesden Green & Dollis Hill (Jubilee Line) offers fast and direct services into Central London (Bond Street in just 13 minutes) and the City. Cricklewood Thameslink is around a 10-minute walk, with trains to London St Pancras, Wimbledon, Sutton, Luton and St Albans. A wide choice of London bus routes also serve the area, making it easy to reach destinations across the capital.

This is architecture with heart, directly opposite one of Northwest London’s most cherished parks. Positioned perfectly and ready for its next chapter.
