5 bed terraced house for sale

Hanover Road, London NW10

In the heart of residential Queen’s Park, this five-bedroom Edwardian home has been reimagined with a discerning eye. Punchy modern design enhances a handsome period framework, while a considered renovation brings together original features, a minimalist rear extension and a landscaped garden tailored for contemporary family living.

Bold from the outset, the home’s charcoal-black façade stands out against its red-bricked neighbours. The driveway offers off-street parking and an electric car changer, while a chequerboard tile walkway leads to the front door. Inside, the reception room speaks to the home’s refined heritage – ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose and an original working fireplace are all illuminated by sunlight streaming through a bay window, reflecting off pale herringbone floors and warm-toned walls. A sliding pocket door reveals a dedicated bar area finished in a muted red by Francesca Paints, with integrated mirrored cabinetry and wine fridges.

Beyond, the open-plan kitchen and dining room is a masterclass in contemporary design. Pale walls are grounded by black ceiling beams that extend into the side return, where glass panels flood the space with natural light. The bespoke German kitchen is a sleek, clean-line composition featuring quartz worktops, a wood-topped breakfast bar, fully-integrated Siemens appliances and a Quooker tap. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground level, offering year-round comfort. At the rear, a vast picture window slides open to the garden, framing a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience.

The garden has been immaculately conceived by Erin Schanen of The Impatient Gardener. Surrounded by wooden fencing, the space is zoned between a dining terrace, a grassy lawn and a secluded patio area set beneath mature trees. Throughout, an array of structured evergreens and seasonal blooms lends texture and rhythm.

A black-painted staircase, in keeping with Hanover Road’s design-forward edge, leads to the upper floors. The principal suite is quietly elegant: Light green walls, herringbone flooring, a working Edwardian fireplace, plus a pair of original oval stained-glass windows framing a bay seating area. A dedicated dressing area with integrated wardrobes leads to a soothing en suite. Here, pale pink walls and tonal shower tiles surround a freestanding bath, set on speckled Mandarin Stone flooring.

Across the first and second floors, four additional bedrooms echo the home’s tonal palette and sensitivity to light, texture and materiality. Serving these rooms are two further bathrooms, crafted with the same Hansgrohe fixtures and Duravit fittings as the principal en suite.

One of Queen’s Park’s most sought-after residential streets, Hanover Road sits within easy reach of the neighbourhood’s vibrant cultural and culinary scene. Chamberlayne Road — just a short walk away — is a thriving local hub, home to independent cafés, design-led boutiques and acclaimed restaurants such as Ida, Mr Fish, Parlour and Michiko Sushino. Green space is abundant, with Queen’s Park itself offering tree-lined walks, tennis courts and a weekend farmers’ market that draws a loyal local following. The nearby open expanse of Kensal Green Cemetery provides a more contemplative retreat, while Little Venice and the Grand Union Canal are just a cycle away.For families, the area is well served by a selection of highly regarded schools, plus efficient transport links provide swift access into central London.
