Ivy Road, NW2

Guide Price: £1,050,000 to £1,150,000

This beautifully presented four-bedroom, two-bathroom semi-detached Art Deco home spans three levels and has been thoughtfully extended and updated to create the perfect family house. Blending original character with modern upgrades, the property offers generous proportions, a full-width dormer, and a spectacular south-facing garden with a garden house/man cave, an ideal retreat or play space.

As soon as you step inside, the home’s charm is apparent. Original pine wood floors flow through the hallway and front living room, where a bay window, fitted shutters, and clever alcove storage frame the chimney breast. The hallway also hides practical touches, including under-stair storage and a guest WC.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room to the rear a bright, inviting space with original wooden floors and bifold doors that open onto the decked terrace. The south-facing 16m garden is a true suntrap, with lawn, children’s play area, and a versatile garden house that can serve as a man cave, gym, or home office. This space is made for entertaining, with room for large gatherings and summer barbecues.

The kitchen is ergonomic and well-specified, featuring granite work surfaces, AEG appliances, a double oven, and an American-style fridge/freezer. Air conditioning ensures comfort year-round.

Upstairs on the first floor, you’ll find two generous double bedrooms with excellent fitted storage, a third bedroom ideal as a nursery or home office, and a family bathroom with bath and separate shower. The master bedroom enjoys views over quiet Ivy Road and retains its original pine floors.

The top floor was expertly converted by previous owners to create a full-width dormer bedroom with soaring three-metre ceilings, fitted storage (perfect for suitcases), and Velux windows with fitted blinds. Air conditioning and clever lighting make this a calm, comfortable retreat. The en suite bathroom features attractive tiles and a bath, while a discreet sliding door reveals a laundry area with space for a washer, dryer, and a cleverly concealed boiler with a Megaflow system.

Ivy Road is a peaceful street of low-rise Edwardian and Art Deco homes, allowing natural light to flood the area. The house enjoys open views towards the historic Thames Water pumping station and sits moments from Olive Road. Local favourites include Gladstone Park with its tennis courts and café, as well as the independent shops and cafés of Willesden Green and Cricklewood. Excellent transport links put Central London within easy reach via Willesden Green (Jubilee Line), Cricklewood Thameslink, and frequent local buses.

This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special family home that has been designed with comfort, storage, and practicality at its heart, a house to grow into and enjoy for years to come.
