4 bed terraced house for sale

Dollis Hill Avenue, London NW2

A material-driven renovation has reimagined this spacious house on a quiet north-west London street. It was extended at the rear, creating a beautiful living and dining space with bespoke oak joinery and wide glass doors to the rear garden. Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a large principal suite that occupies the entirety of the top floor.

The Tour

The house sits behind a neat front garden bordered with mature hedges. Entry is to a hallway, where sliding doors on the left reveal a living room with a wide tripartite bay window. Walls are painted serene off-white, and oak floors begin here and continue throughout.

At the rear of the hall, steps descend to the open-plan kitchen, a remarkable space with plenty of oak joinery. The kitchen is on the right, with a concrete-topped island and matching splashback. Neat, almost seamless cupboards provide plenty of storage space, and all appliances are fully integrated.

There is a generous dining space in front, next to an additional sitting area; neutral-coloured exposed brick walls lend a subtle texture. Wide glazed doors invite plenty of natural light deep into the plan and open to reveal a large outdoor dining terrace.

A cleverly concealed utility is next to the kitchen, and there is an additional storage space and an adjoining WC next to the front door. Stairs ascend to the first floor, where a pristine bathroom lies. There are also three bedrooms here, one with a Juliet balcony, another with a bay window and built-in storage.

Stairs ascend again to the uppermost floor with a sublime principal suite. It has an expansive picture window and a beautiful en suite with marble-tiled floors and ceilings. Cleverly configured, there is a walk-in wardrobe and built -in vanity as well as access to generous eaves storage.

Outdoor Space

A generous garden lies behind the house. Immediately adjoining the kitchen is a concrete-tiled dining terrace, a configuration that comes into its own in the spring and summer, for long summer lunches or weekend barbecues.

Steps descend to an AstroTurf lawn, which is bordered by beds with ferns and a large maple tree in the centre. White-slatted fences enhance privacy and complement the home’s silhouette.

The Area

Dollis Hill Avenue is close to plenty of green spaces, including Gladstone Park, which lies just over five minutes’ walk away and has formal gardens, a duck pond, play areas, an art gallery and a café, Committee of Taste. Neasden Recreation Ground, Brent Reservoir, and Welsh Harp Open Space lie to the north. Hampstead Heath is also within easy reach.

There are plenty of places to dine nearby, along with friendly pubs like The Crown NW2. Cricklewood Broadway has plenty of shops, bakeries and everyday conveniences. The wonderful Kiln Theatre can also be reached on foot and has a wonderful programme of shows.

State and private schooling options lie within easy reach of the house. By bus or car, Mill Hill and University College School are easily accessible. There are good transport connections nearby. Brent Cross West on the Thameslink is approximately a 10-minute walk away, with services to King's Cross in approx. 12 minutes. Dollis Hill, Willesden Green and Neasden are all on the Jubilee line, and each sits around a mile away from the house.
