A five bedroom Edwardian family house in Willesden Junction

An encaustic tiled hallway and light falling through stained glass on the stairs set the tone for a home where period craftsmanship and a confident modern finish sit comfortably together.

Chosen by Raffle House
This year the house was selected by Raffle House as the prize for their London dream home draw and featured across the national press from August to October. Raffle House give away only a handful of homes each year and the bar is set high. They look for homes that feel luxurious yet welcoming, that are ready to move straight into and that combine real character with light and a layout that works. Many beautiful properties are turned away. The draw has now closed and the winner chose the cash prize, so the house is available to buy once more.

Living space that flows
Herringbone oak runs through the ground floor and ties each room together. At the front a formal reception keeps its original cornicing and generous Edwardian proportions, a lovely room for evenings and entertaining. A second lounge faces the garden for everyday family life. The heart of the house is a bespoke 19ft x 18ft kitchen and dining room built around a large island with an induction hob and space for a long table. Three beautiful Crittall doors open onto the garden and fill the room with light. A utility and boot room takes care of muddy boots and laundry and a designer cloakroom completes the floor.

Room for everyone
There are five bedrooms in all. On the first floor three double bedrooms share a handsome family bathroom with a freestanding roll top bath. Alongside sits a fifth bedroom with its own en suite, currently fitted out as a walk in wardrobe. It would make an ideal guest suite, nursery or study.

A retreat at the top
The loft is given over to a principal suite with skylights overhead and a freestanding bath set within the room. A private en suite makes it a true hideaway at the end of the day.

The garden
Through the Crittall doors the professionally landscaped garden stretches around 50ft and faces south/west to catch the afternoon and evening sun. Thoughtful lighting carries it into the evening and a covered brick pergola means you can dine outside long after summer has gone.

The detail
The house has been fully rewired and replumbed. Off street parking and a garage are a real rarity so close to the station. In all the house offers 2,345 sq ft including the garage.
