3 bed terraced house to rent

Hampstead Grove, London NW3

Tenure: Leasehold

Positioned on one of Hampstead Village’s most established ridges, New Grove House is a semi-detached 18th-century residence, remodelled in the mid-19th century in the Tudor Revival style and later home to illustrator and satirist George du Maurier (1874–1895). The Blue Plaque acknowledges his time here, during which he produced some of his most recognised work for Punch

The exterior has a distinctive architectural presence: Yellow stock brick with stone and red brick dressings, a full-height stucco entrance bay with patterned fanlight, and a frontage articulated by 2- and 3-light pointed windows with dripmoulds. A square stair tower with lancet openings introduces vertical emphasis and creates a recognisable silhouette from Admiral's Walk and the Grove.

Accommodation balances scale with contemporary living. The first floor forms the main living level, with a double reception room, dining room and separate kitchen, benefitting from generous ceiling height and west-facing light. The ground floor provides a family room and study, offering adaptable secondary living and private workspace. Several rooms take in open aspects of the courtyard gardens of neighbouring Fenton House, a quintessential Hampstead view that reinforces the property’s place within this historic Village setting.

The principal bedroom suite spans the width of the red brick wing and includes a dressing area and en-suite. Two additional bedrooms and a further bathroom complete the floor. A private roof terrace crowns the house, with open village views that underscore the property’s orientation and setting. Few homes in this central Village position are able to offer comparable external space and skyline draw.

The property also includes a private garage and secure off-street parking for one car, a meaningful offering for convenience in the postcode.

This is a well-located, architecturally distinctive village house with strong proportions, practical layout, and the sought-after combination of roof terrace and parking, all moments from Hampstead High Street and the sprawling Heath.
