Milverton Road, London NW6.

This is a house that feels calm the moment you step inside. Thoughtfully designed, with just the right amount of drama - a curved concrete staircase quietly stealing the show as it rises through the centre.

The palette is simple but beautifully done: limewashed walls, oak floors, polished concrete and plenty of glass drawing in natural light. Everything feels considered, but never overworked.

The kitchen takes on a richer tone, finished with deep burgundy Higham cabinetry, paired with granite and a generous island. It remains open enough for everyday life to flow with ease, while offering softer corners for quieter moments. Large sliding doors open onto landscaped gardens and tucked away terraces.

Upstairs, the principal suite is its own retreat. There’s a dedicated dressing area, well-made Kingsbrook joinery and a bathroom that feels relaxed but luxurious - freestanding bath, walk-in shower, clean lines. A second bedroom suite sits across the landing, equally well resolved, with the added comfort of air conditioning.

Downstairs, the mood shifts slightly. Cooler in summer, more cocooned in winter. Three further bedrooms sit around a lightwell courtyard, alongside a family bathroom and utility. Terracotta pavers and a wall of shelving add warmth and depth.

Milverton Road is one of those addresses people hold onto — a quiet residential street, moments from the best of Queen’s Park. Tiverton Green and the park itself are close by, while Salusbury Road and Lonsdale Road offer a well-loved mix of cafés, restaurants and independent boutiques. Willesden Green (Jubilee line) and Brondesbury Park (Overground) are both within easy reach when you need to get across the city.
