Mapesbury Road, Kilburn

An exquisite detached Edwardian villa, offering 3,808 sq ft of living accommodation over three floors. This property could be considered an exemplar Mapesbury Conservation Area family home and presents a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial house in a coveted location.

The property redefines ‘kerb appeal’; it’s set back 30 ft from Mapesbury Road, boasting a gated horseshoe driveway that’s lined with low-lying privet hedgerows on either side. The proportions of the driveway are a defining feature of the property and it should be noted that these are extremely rare in the Conservation Area.

Upon entering the house, it becomes immediately apparent that the current owners have retained a plethora of original Edwardian architectural features, including a ceramic tiled hallway (laid in an ornate ‘Chatsworth’ fashion), stained-glass windows in the entrance vestibule and gorgeous ceiling cornicing / picture railing in the front reception rooms.

The property boasts a design scheme that’s contemporary yet sympathetic to the property’s original character.

The Ground Floor has an internal arrangement that’s expansive and distinctly pragmatic. The left side of the property benefits from a continuous corridor of natural light that runs the entire length of the house. The kitchen/diner at the rear is particularly impressive and has been fitted to a high specification, featuring a modern electric AGA with full digital control. This space looks out onto the 106 ft secluded rear garden. The Upper Floors offer six bedrooms, all of which are presently serviced by three bathrooms.
