This substantial four double bedroom semi-detached Art Deco house offers approximately 2,170 sq. ft. of exceptionally well-proportioned accommodation, arranged across three floors and designed to work effortlessly for modern family life.

Set behind a generous driveway with off-street parking for up to three cars, the house occupies a wide plot and retains attractive original Art Deco features, including characterful bay windows and excellent ceiling heights. Side access leads directly to the rear garden, adding further practicality for families, bicycles and outdoor entertaining.

The ground floor provides an impressive amount of flexible living space, with three reception areas offering plenty of room for both formal and informal family life. Herringbone flooring runs throughout the principal ground-floor rooms, creating a smart and consistent finish while complementing the original character of the house.

At the heart of the home is the semi-open-plan kitchen and dining area, fitted with contemporary appliances and arranged as a sociable space for everyday dining and entertaining. The room connects naturally with the landscaped garden, allowing plenty of natural light into the house and creating an easy relationship between the internal and external living areas.

There is also a versatile ground-floor study that could work equally well as a guest bedroom, playroom or additional reception space. A practical cloakroom and utility area complete the ground-floor accommodation.

The first floor is arranged around three generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en suite shower room, while the two further bedrooms are served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The loft has been thoughtfully converted to provide a fourth double bedroom, creating an ideal private space for an older child, guests or extended family.

Double glazing is fitted throughout, and the proportions across each floor are excellent. The layout provides the flexibility required by a growing or established family, with separate areas for working, relaxing, entertaining and spending time together.

The south-west-facing rear garden is a particular highlight. Beautifully landscaped, exceptionally private and filled with a variety of established planting, the garden enjoys excellent natural light throughout the afternoon and into the evening. It is a calm and secluded outdoor space with distinct areas for dining, entertaining and relaxing.

Positioned towards the rear of the garden is a substantial studio measuring approximately 5m by 3m. This provides an excellent home office but could also be used as a gym, creative studio, teenage den or occasional guest space.

Subject to the usual planning permissions, the wide plot and generous footprint may also offer further potential for future extension or reconfiguration, allowing the house to adapt as a family’s requirements change.

The location is a major part of the appeal. Gladstone Park is within easy walking distance and offers approximately 86 acres of green space, with children’s playgrounds, tennis courts, an outdoor gym, a duck pond, landscaped gardens, playing fields and cafés. It is a genuine hub for the local community and an important part of everyday life for families living in the area.

Cricklewood Library is also nearby and provides a popular café, children’s activities, classes and community events. Everyday shopping is straightforward, with a good range of local independent shops, cafés and delis, together with a large Sainsbury’s and Wing Yip supermarket within easy reach.

Waitrose has confirmed plans to open a new full-line supermarket on Cricklewood Broadway in autumn 2026, bringing another significant local amenity to the area.

The wider Brent Cross and Cricklewood regeneration is set to further enhance the neighbourhood. Brent Cross Town is being developed as a major new park town with new homes, schools, offices, shops, cafés, restaurants, leisure facilities and extensive parkland, centred around the concept of a walkable 15-minute neighbourhood.

Families are particularly well served by the choice of nearby schools and nurseries. Mora Primary School, Anson Primary School and Our Lady of Grace Catholic Infant School are all within the surrounding area, alongside The Mulberry House School and Living Spring Montessori Nursery. There are also established coach routes serving a number of Hampstead’s independent schools, while the Lycée International de Londres Winston Churchill in Wembley is easily accessible.

Transport connections are excellent. Willesden Green and Dollis Hill stations provide Jubilee line services into Central London, while Cricklewood Thameslink offers direct connections towards St Pancras International and the City. The North Circular and M1 are also within easy reach, making journeys out of London particularly convenient.

This is a house that has been properly considered. It offers the space and flexibility expected of a substantial family home, but it also has warmth, character and an excellent natural flow. With four genuine double bedrooms, extensive reception space, a large private garden, a garden studio and parking for up to three cars, it is a home capable of accommodating family life comfortably for many years to come.

Oli and Liana are delighted to be instructed on this lovely home.
