Full Description

An elegant and beautifully maintained Victorian terraced house arranged over two floors and extending to approximately 133 sq m. The house balances period character — high ceilings, decorative cornicing, marble and cast-iron fireplaces, a stripped pine staircase and solid wooden floors throughout — with comfortable, updated living space.
At the rear, a large open-plan kitchen and dining room opens to a secluded, mature garden with an established, fruiting grape vine and palm. With four double bedrooms (one on the ground floor), a reception room opening to the garden, an en-suite, a separate shower room and a ground-floor WC — plus scope to convert the loft, subject to consents — it offers generous and adaptable accommodation in a sought-after Zone 2 location.

Living Spaces

A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone, with original cornicing, ornate corbels and a stripped pine staircase. The rear reception, with full-height glazed doors, opens directly onto a decked courtyard and the garden beyond, while a generous front room offers flexible use — a fourth double bedroom or a formal sitting room.

Kitchen & Dining

Spanning the rear of the ground floor, the open-plan kitchen and dining room features hand-painted Shaker cabinetry, granite-style worktops, integrated appliances and a characterful dresser — all framed by a bay window overlooking the garden. Ample space for a family table makes it a natural gathering point, and it could be separated again if preferred.

Bedrooms

Three well-proportioned double bedrooms occupy the first floor: the principal enjoys the front bay, a restored Carrara marble fireplace and its own en-suite; a second retains a handsome cast-iron register grate; and a third overlooks the rear. A fourth double on the ground floor — equally usable as a reception room — adds valuable flexibility. Stripped floorboards and generous natural light run throughout.

Bath & Shower Rooms

The house is well served throughout: an en-suite with a full bath, a striking slate-tiled shower room with a walk-in rainfall shower, and a ground-floor WC.

The Garden

A particular highlight: a secluded garden approaching 10.7 metres, wrapped in mature planting for privacy. An established, fruiting grape vine trained over a timber pergola forms a shaded seating arbour, with a Trachycarpus palm, lavender and a decked terrace completing a genuine outdoor retreat — a rarity so close to central London.

Location & Transport

Willesden Green Underground (Zone 2) — approximately 7-minute walk
King's Cross St Pancras in around 12 minutes — direct Thameslink from Cricklewood
Direct trains to Gatwick and Luton airports
West End reachable in approximately 15 minutes
Moments from the Mapesbury Conservation Area
Excellent local cafés, shops and green spaces

Development Potential

Scope to extend into the loft to create approximately 20-30 sq m of additional living space, subject to the usual planning and permitted-development consents — an opportunity to add a further bedroom and bathroom.

Investment

A strong investment proposition. This sought-after Zone 2 location, combined with the house's size and flexible configuration, supports robust rental demand and a gross rental yield of approximately 4.6% at the current guide price — an attractive return for the area, with scope to improve it further through the loft conversion.
