Beautifully presented and arranged over three floors, the house offers outstanding family accommodation, exceptional entertaining space, extensive off street parking and a magnificent landscaped garden.

Approached via a sweeping carriage driveway, the house immediately makes an impression, with substantial frontage and comfortable parking for four to five cars in addition to an integral garage.

Moving through the house, the accommodation opens into an extraordinary extended kitchen, breakfast and family room. This is the real heart of the house and has been designed on an exceptional scale, with a large chef’s kitchen, extensive preparation and entertaining space and a substantial central island.

Full height glazing and doors run across the rear, bringing in an abundance of natural light and opening directly onto the garden. A separate utility room sits conveniently alongside the kitchen.

To the rear is a beautifully landscaped and notably generous garden, offering an excellent degree of privacy and providing a fantastic setting for both family life and entertaining. A substantial raised terrace immediately behind the house creates a natural extension of the living accommodation, with steps leading down to the lawn beyond.

At the far end of the garden sits a superb detached summer house and adjoining store, extending to approximately 398 sq ft and offering excellent flexibility as a gym, studio, games room, home office or entertaining space.

The first floor provides an outstanding family bedroom level, with five substantial bedrooms and three bathrooms arranged around a generous central landing. The scale of the bedrooms is particularly impressive, with several enjoying proportions more commonly associated with principal suites.

The entire upper floor is then devoted to an exceptional principal suite. Enjoying far reaching views, this is a fantastic private retreat. At its centre is a substantial principal bedroom, complemented by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, two large dressing rooms and a separate study which could also provide additional sleeping accommodation if required.

A private terrace provides a wonderful outdoor extension to the suite and a particularly special vantage point across the surrounding neighbourhood.

Rarely does a house combine this level of space, width, parking, garden and principal accommodation in such a complete way.


Location

Hocroft Road occupies a particularly desirable position within the Hocroft Estate, one of North West London’s most established and highly regarded residential areas.

Characterised by substantial detached houses, generous plots and wide tree lined roads, the area has a wonderfully peaceful and private feel while remaining extremely well connected to Hampstead, West Hampstead and Central London.

The property is superbly placed for the cafés, restaurants, boutiques and everyday amenities of Hampstead Village, West Hampstead and Finchley Road, while the open spaces of Hampstead Heath are also within easy reach.

The area is particularly popular with families, with access to many of North West London’s leading schools as well as the numerous recreational and cultural amenities associated with Hampstead and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Transport connections are excellent, with Finchley Road providing access to the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines and fast connections into the West End, City and Canary Wharf.
West Hampstead provides an additional transport hub with the Jubilee line, London Overground and Thameslink services, offering excellent connectivity across London and beyond.
Despite this excellent accessibility, Hocroft Road retains the calm, leafy and predominantly residential character for which the Hocroft Estate is so highly regarded, making it an exceptional setting for a substantial family home of this calibre.
