6 bed semi-detached house for sale

Clifton Hill, St John's Wood, London NW8

An exceptional opportunity to acquire a substantial six-bedroom semi-detached Grade II listed residence (299.23 sq m / 3,221 sq ft), set on one of St John’s Wood’s most prestigious and sought-after addresses. Constructed in the 1850s, this elegant period home combines timeless architecture with a rich and distinguished provenance.

The house has been home to several notable residents, including a prominent Marylebone official whose family remained in residence for over 60 years, and Dr Egbert Morland, former editor of The Lancet. From 1970 until 1996, it was also the home of Dr Romeo Vecht, a respected consultant cardiologist.

More recently, the property has served as a much-loved long-term family home. The current owners have enjoyed over three decades here, during which time the house has played host to many cherished milestones, from academic and professional achievements to a wedding and the arrival of grandchildren.

The property further benefits from gated off-street parking and a beautifully landscaped 52 ft rear garden, providing a private and tranquil setting for both entertaining and family life. The garden can be accessed from both the ground floor kitchen and directly from the basement sitting room via French windows, creating a wonderful connection between indoor and outdoor living. In the warmer months, the basement sitting room becomes an especially inviting space, with the doors open to the garden and views of the greenery beyond.

In addition, the lower floor offers excellent versatility and can be configured as a self-contained two-bedroom apartment, ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income.

Ideally located, Clifton Hill lies within easy walking distance of St John’s Wood High Street, with its collection of boutique shops, cafés, and restaurants, as well as St John’s Wood Underground Station (Jubilee Line).
