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.
