Leverton Street, Kentish, London, NW5

Guide price: £1,800,000 to £1,900,000

Leverton Street is one of the established areas of Kentish Town which prides itself on colourful, pastel façades and this corner home slots in perfectly with its mauve frontage complemented by cream sash windows and a vibrant mint door.

Inside, the playful use of colour continues. The front door opens to a welcoming hallway, where bespoke joinery provides generous storage. At the front of the plan is a charming curved reception room, with oak parquet flooring underfoot and a log burner forming the focal point. Built-in bookshelves painted in a trio of pastel tones line one wall, while café curtains offer privacy without compromising natural light. Beyond, views extend through to the bright kitchen extension, where chequerboard flooring adds further character. A few steps lead down to an area used for studying and playing the piano, passing a hallway cupboard with integrated seating that creates a practical spot for removing shoes and coats.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully extended. Banquette seating makes efficient use of the footprint, while a series of overhead skylights draws sunlight deep into the room. Pale-pink shaker cabinetry is paired with marble worktops and antique-brass hardware. A large picture window frames views of the garden, while mint-green timber French doors open directly onto the outdoor space. Completing the ground floor are a WC and a separate utility room, both discreetly positioned to support day-to-day living.

The first and second floors have a series of generously proportioned bedrooms that continue the home's thoughtful design. Occupying the space above the reception room, the principal suite benefits from bespoke plywood wardrobes providing ample storage, with a cleverly designed en suite, finished with tongue-and-groove panelling. Another bedroom on this floor also benefits from its own en suite bathroom.

On the second floor are two further well-sized bedrooms, along with additional built-in storage and a family bathroom, making the layout well suited to both family life and visiting guests.

Outside, the paved garden has an established feel, with mature planting including clematis, jasmine and evergreen shrubs softening the boundaries. There is also a climbing rose on the south-facing back wall. Built-in seating creates a comfortable spot for outdoor dining, while side access provides a practical route for bicycles and gardening equipment without the need to pass through the house.

Leverton Street is ideally placed for enjoying the best of Kentish Town. At the end of the street sits local favourite The Pineapple, while the Michelin Guide-recommended Parakeet, celebrated for its wood-fired cooking, is less than a five-minute walk away. Excellent independent cafés are also close by, including Kossoffs, The Good Mews and Koncept Coffee.

For green space and recreation, Hampstead Heath is less than a 20-minute walk from the house, offering swimming ponds, a lido and expansive parkland for walking, running and exploring. In the other direction, Primrose Hill provides another much-loved outdoor escape with sweeping views across the city. There are also several fitness studios nearby, including Reformer Revolution and The Movement Studio.

Leverton Street is particularly well placed for a number of highly regarded local schools, including Eleanor Palmer, Kentish Town C of E, Torriano and Rhyl at primary level, with Parliament Hill, Acland Burghley, William Ellis and Camden School for Girls among the nearby secondary options.

Kentish Town Underground station, served by the Northern line, along with the Thameslink station is a 2-minute walk from the house. There are also numerous bus routes providing convenient connections across London and beyond.
