Willow Road, Hampstead, London

A stunning Victorian house facing the Heath, uniquely positioned on Willow Road, a quiet and highly sought-after street in the heart of Hampstead. Its views of the surrounding village are quite exceptional. This is only the second time in 80 years the house has been on the market.

This film director’s home is beautifully presented. A large Edwardian glass entrance porch leads into a spacious hallway, a high ceilinged kitchen and living room and downstairs WC. A dining terrace opens to a south facing garden – the largest in the street, a modernist summer house, a lily pond, and what is reputed to be the tallest rose in London.

Over the first and second floors there are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Across the top two floors there is an outstanding modernist reception room with a mezzanine library and study. Two terraces - front and rear – offer picturesque views of the Heath, the Village, and an elevated view over the City of London.

In recent years the house has been rented by leading Hollywood actors, writers and directors.


The house further benefits from a self-contained two-bedroom basement flat. The entrance hall leads into a bright, south facing living room/dining area with an enclosed private terrace. There is a large windowed kitchen, a principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom, a second bedroom, and a guest WC and shower room.

N.B The owner of the ground floor apartment would like to retain the right of use, giving vacant possession in ten to fifteen years.

Willow Road is one of Hampstead's most desirable residential streets and is perfectly positioned between Hampstead Heath, (a vast expanse of 800 acres comprising open parkland, trails, woodlands, and open-water swimming ponds) and Hampstead Village, approximately 0.3 miles distant. The area - famously the home to artists and writers since the 18th century - boasts an array of boutiques, beautifully enriched local pubs, fine eateries and excellent connections to the city and the West End, the Underground (Northern Line). Additionally, Hampstead Heath Overground Station, is approximately 0.4 miles away.
