Holly Walk, London, NW3

A rare and elegant home in the heart of Hampstead Village

Description

A superb three-bedroom garden apartment occupying the raised ground and first floors of Moreton House, a distinguished Grade II-listed neo-Gothic mansion designed by the eminent architect Thomas Garner in 1896. Presented with meticulous care, this exquisite residence combines outstanding period detail with contemporary comforts, offering an exceptional living experience in one of Hampstead’s most coveted locations.

The heart of the home is the grand reception room: an extraordinary entertaining space that epitomises the character and craftsmanship of late-Victorian design. The room features original wood panelling, decorative plaster ceiling work, stone mullions with leaded lights and an impressive period fireplace. Large windows and direct access open onto the mature private garden, creating a rare and beautiful connection between formal interior and secluded outdoor space. A bright, modern kitchen sits on the ground floor and has been thoughtfully arranged to retain the apartment’s historic integrity while meeting contemporary needs. The kitchen includes an informal seating area ideal for casual dining or morning coffee. A convenient guest cloakroom completes this level.

Arranged across the first floor, the principal bedroom enjoys a sunny south-west aspect, an elegant bay window and far-reaching views over the neighbourhood. Two further well-proportioned bedrooms provide flexible accommodation for family, guests or home working. Two stylish bathrooms and generous built-in storage complete the first-floor layout.

A beautifully established private garden offers a tranquil retreat: mature planting, screened borders and a sense of seclusion uncommon in the centre of Hampstead. The apartment benefits from the highly unusual advantage of off-street parking for two cars, a truly rare amenity in this location.
