Priory Terrace, South Hampstead, London, NW6

A substantial Victorian semi-detached villa with an attractive warm yellow brick façade, contrasting stucco detailing and a raised entrance, occupying a prominent position on Priory Terrace. Extending to approximately 2,768 sq ft (257 sq m) and arranged over four floors, the house retains high ceilings, sash windows and original fireplaces alongside a layout that works well for modern family life.

The raised ground floor provides the principal reception and entertaining space, with a front reception room retaining its original fireplace and a rear reception room opening directly onto a private terrace overlooking the west-facing garden. The adjoining kitchen completes the accommodation on this level.

The lower ground floor has its own private entrance and direct access to the garden. It comprises a family room, independent kitchen, utility room, fourth bedroom and bathroom, providing a genuine degree of independence and flexibility for older children, visiting family, an au pair or multi-generational living.

The upper floors provide the principal bedroom suite with dressing area and adjoining bathroom, together with two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and mezzanine areas providing useful space for study or storage.

To the rear, the mature west-facing garden combines lawn, established planting and areas for outdoor seating and entertaining. A separate garden studio provides valuable additional space away from the main house and lends itself naturally to use as a home office, gym or creative studio.

The east-to-west orientation brings morning light to the front of the house, while the rear terrace and west-facing garden benefit from afternoon and evening sun.

Priory Terrace is a quiet residential road on the South Hampstead and St John’s Wood border, within easy reach of the amenities of West Hampstead, St John’s Wood and Abbey Road. The area is well served by transport connections and a number of highly regarded schools, including The American School in London.

The property is offered chain free and benefits from secure wrought-iron gates.
