Summerfield Avenue, London, NW6

Rows of stock brick period homes line Summerfield Avenue, a tranquil residential street that leads directly to Queen’s Park. Echoing its verdant, family-oriented neighbourhood, this four-bedroom home has been thoughtfully imagined with organic tones and tactile materials across its three spacious storeys.

The home opens into a spacious double reception room, which has been given a contemporary spin with greenscale walls, rattan accents and considered furniture. An arched brick fireplace forms a cosy focal point, while natural light beams in through a large bay window. Patterned curtains work to gently divide the first living area from a study and relaxed sofa area beyond. Additional sunlight is drawn in through a glazed door, which leads directly out to the private garden.

At the end of the entrance corridor, a door with a porthole window and chequered floor tiles make a playful introduction into the kitchen and dining room. There’s a modern country feel to the culinary space: ink-blue shiplap cabinets are topped with sleek marble worktops, rattan panels bring an earthy texture, and appliances are neatly integrated throughout. Backdropped by full-height bi-folding glass doors, the adjacent dining area has a bright, uplifting feel that naturally extends outside to the private garden. With its lush planting and immaculate lawn, it’s a refined setting to soak up London’s warmer months.

Fern green walls and warm timber floors make a bold statement as you enter the principal bedroom, located on the first floor. Large windows illuminate the space, while full-height wardrobes keep things streamlined. The en suite bathroom continues the engaging interior scheme, with geometric floor tiling and a reclaimed double vanity.

On the second floor, a second bedroom has a restful atmosphere with reams of natural light and ample storage. The third bedroom, currently configured as a nursery, is finished in bluescale hues across the walls, curtains and ceilings. A fourth bedroom on the top floor maintains the sense of calm. A family bathroom serves these spaces.

Location
Leading straight to Queen’s Park, Summerfield Avenue is found in one of London’s most community-minded neighbourhoods. Start the day with a coffee and pastries at Dark Habit on Salusbury Road, before taking a stroll around the eponymous green space, where a weekly Farmer’s Market is replete with seasonal produce and artisanal delicacies. The mews street of Lonsdale Road is one of the neighbourhood’s best-kept secrets, lined with modern co-working hubs, studios and restaurants – including Don’t Tell Dad, Carmel and PYRÁ. After sourcing new bottles from The Salusbury Winestore, head to The Lexi, an independent cinema with a host of new and classic screenings.
