Fitzalan Road, Finchley, London N3

Set behind a generous carriage driveway on one of the area’s most established residential roads is this exceptional 5,516 sq ft (512.4 sq m) detached Arts and Crafts family home, comprehensively remodelled in collaboration with Stephen Marshall Architects to create an outstanding balance of period character and contemporary living.

The heart of the house is the impressive kitchen and family room, which opens naturally towards the rear garden and provides a wonderful space for family life and entertaining. The bespoke handmade kitchen features stainless steel worktops, custom cabinetry and a range of Wolf, Liebherr and Miele appliances, complemented by a generous pantry, extensive storage and utility space.

A particular feature of the house is the excellent flow between the principal reception rooms. Double doors allow the kitchen, dining room and formal living spaces to be enjoyed independently or opened to create a superb interconnected entertaining space. An impressive central atrium enhances the sense of volume and natural light, with exposed timber, natural materials and white-oiled solid oak flooring adding warmth and character throughout.

The bedroom accommodation is equally impressive. The generous principal suite incorporates a substantial walk-in dressing room and luxurious en-suite bathroom finished in book matched Arabescato marble. The remarkable vaulted upper floor provides further versatile accommodation, with soaring ceilings, an informal living area and additional bedrooms, ideal as a teenage suite, guest accommodation or family recreation space.

Externally, the house benefits from an exceptional landscaped rear garden providing substantial space for entertaining and family use, together with the carriage driveway to the front.

Fitzalan Road is conveniently positioned for the shops, cafés, restaurants and amenities of both Temple Fortune and Finchley Central, with Finchley Central Underground Station (Northern Line) approximately 0.8 miles away.
