Kentish Town Road, London, NW5

The Property
Charming two-bedroom home ideally situated on Kentish Town Road, only moments from both Thameslink and Northern Line stations. Meticulously updated by the current owners, the interiors feature a tranquil aesthetic defined by a curated palette of Little Greene tones and the added advantage of a generous loft.


What the owners love about the property.

We’ve really loved living here, especially because of the space itself. The tall ceilings, douglas fir floorboards and large sash windows make it a bright, uplifting space to live in. The sunsets in the reception room and front bedroom are especially special, flooding the rooms with warm light in the afternoon and early evening. We’ve used non-toxic Little Greene paints throughout, and the bespoke built-in joinery and ample hidden storage have made the flat feel both practical and calm.

The area has been just as much of a joy. Hampstead Heath is close by, and the local farmers’ market has been a favourite for our weekly shop. There are great pubs, restaurants, cafés and coffee spots in every direction, and Kentish Town has a genuinely friendly neighbourhood feel. We’ve loved the mix of residential and commercial neighbours, and it’s an easy walk to King’s Cross, Regent’s Park, Highgate and more. A wonderful location for getting around on foot.
