Dunmore Road, London, NW6

Behind its traditional brick façade, this three-bedroom family home pairs period character with a thoughtful contemporary design palette. Step inside to a bright double reception room, where a bay window floods the space with natural light. Arranged as both living and dining areas, it’s perfectly suited to everything from relaxed evenings to entertaining guests. Wooden flooring and original cornicing lend a sense of elegance, while the open, sociable layout creates an inviting atmosphere throughout. At the rear, French doors draw the eye towards the garden and allow light to filter deep into the room.

Beyond, the open-plan kitchen balances warmth and functionality. Wooden cabinetry is complemented by stainless-steel worktops, while bi-fold windows open directly onto the private garden. Framed by lush planting, the outdoor space offers a peaceful setting for unwinding in the warmer months.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a calming retreat defined by natural textures and soft, earthy tones. Parquet flooring and wood-panelling bring character, while a generous dressing room features a wall of floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and a bay window that fills the space with daylight. The en suite bathroom is particularly striking, finished in pink-toned marble. A freestanding green basin, floating vanity and brass fittings add a playful yet refined finishing touch.

Along the landing, a guest bedroom offers a more understated aesthetic, enlivened by raspberry-toned cabinetry. A family bathroom, finished in whitewashed mosaic tiles, serves this floor.

Occupying the second floor, the final bedroom feels both cosy and airy. Timber floors add warmth, while three sash windows and an overhead skylight bring in an abundance of natural light. Cleverly integrated storage follows the line of the vaulted ceiling, painted in a soft blush pink. Continuing the home’s confident approach to colour and design, the en suite bathroom makes an impression with jade-green metro tiles and a generous rainfall shower.

Location
A hub for creatives, commuters and families, Queen’s Park is a neighbourhood brimming with eclectic eateries and a keen sense of community. The eponymous Queen’s Park is on your doorstep, complete with tennis courts and a petting zoo. On Sunday mornings, head to the Farmers’ Market to pick up local produce. Just around the corner is Chamberlayne Road, once coined London’s ‘hippest street’ by Vogue where local favourites include Wildcard. Kensal Green Cemetery takes its cue from Père Lachaise in Paris – an atmospheric backdrop for your morning stroll, as is the adjoining Grand Union Canal. Spend an evening at The Lexi, the much-loved independent cinema.
