Chetwynd Road, London NW5

This beautifully finished four-bedroom Victorian house lies on a peaceful road in Dartmouth Park, close to Hampstead Heath, Swain's Lane and Tufnell Park. The attention to detail throughout is exceptional, evident in the refined material and colour palette and the high-specification appliances and fixtures. On the ground floor, an open-plan living space extends to a peaceful rear garden enclosed by densely planted borders.



The Tour



Chetwynd Road sits in Dartmouth Park, a quiet area between Tufnell Park and the south-eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. Occupying a mid-terrace position, the house rises behind a neat front garden, its handsome stock-brick façade punctuated by a marine-blue front door. Inside, a hallway grounded by geometric Darkroom tiles leads through to the main living spaces.



Two steps descend to the kitchen at the front of the house. An elevated platform and a window seat beneath a bay window with California-style shutters create a distinctive setting. Cabinetry, finished in steel blue and grey with marble worktops, extends across both levels and conceals extensive storage, including a pantry cupboard and utility area as well as a guest cloakroom. Appliances are neatly integrated; most are by Miele, alongside a Fisher & Paykel fridge-freezer.



Honey-coloured parquet flooring with underfloor heating continues into the dining room, where bespoke cabinetry lines one wall. Beyond, the sitting room is anchored by a wall of bookshelves. A deep rooflight brings in natural light from above, while slate-grey-framed glazing opens onto the garden. In warmer months, a large bifold door can be folded away to create a seamless connection between inside and out.



Storage is cleverly concealed beneath the staircase. Dressed with a grey runner and hardwood handrail, the stairs rise through the centre of the house. Four bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, each with built-in storage and original sash windows. Three occupy the first floor, including one currently used as a study. A bright bathroom on this level has a walk-in shower, a separate bathtub and a wall-to-wall mirror.



The uppermost floor is dedicated to a serene principal suite. Reached via a landing with further bespoke storage, it comprises a spacious bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en suite bathroom. Parquet flooring runs throughout, while sash windows at both ends of the house draw in natural light. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a separate shower.



Outdoor Space



The rear garden is a peaceful retreat with densely planted borders, a lawn and a dedicated dining terrace. During the summer months, the doors can be left open to create an effortless flow between the sitting room and garden. Texture and scent are provided by a variety of planting, including sweet honeysuckle.
