5 bed detached house for sale

Gayton Road, London NW3

Set behind electric gates, ensuring complete privacy, the house benefits from a private front courtyard with off-street parking. Extending to approximately 6,000 sq ft, the accommodation is organised around a spectacular 40-foot double-volume reception room, illuminated by a pair of vast retractable glass rooflights and opening seamlessly onto the garden via full-height glazed sliding doors. Running alongside this dramatic space is a striking, bespoke glass swimming pool, forming a unique architectural centrepiece.

An open-plan kitchen and dining area sits at one end of the reception room, complemented by a raised sitting / TV area, while a fully equipped gym occupies the opposite end. Overlooking the pool, the principal bedroom suite features a dressing room and indulgent his-and-hers bathrooms.

There are four additional bedrooms, including two suites beyond the gym, each with private sitting rooms, kitchenettes and access to a secluded garden patio; a guest suite on the first floor; and a self-contained studio or guest annexe with its own entrance, ideal for staff or visiting guests. A media room is located on the lower ground floor.

The house is the most recent and arguably the finest of renowned architects, Paxton Locher's, residential projects. Paxton Locher's work is rooted in clarity of structure, generosity of light and volume, seamless integration of indoor and outdoor space and precision of detailing and materials.
The house was designed in collaboration with the renowned engineers Max Fordham, ensuring exceptional environmental performance and comfort throughout.

Gayton Road lies just off Hampstead High Street and is one of the very best addresses in Hampstead. Despite its complete privacy and invisibility from the road, the house is only moments from the boutiques, cafés and restaurants of the village, and within easy walking distance of the open expanses of the beautiful Hampstead Heath.
