Heart of Hampstead, by Veeve

Fall head over heels with captivating Hampstead at this four-bedroom home, centred in the beating heart of this family-friendly neighbourhood. Only a short distance from the Underground station and benefiting from excellent connections to the city centre, this luxurious home allows you to enjoy laidback family living in one of the capital’s most creative enclaves. Inside, the exquisite design flair on show across all four floors certainly reflects Hampstead’s well-deserved reputation as a hub of artistic inspiration...

Illuminated by the natural light from the patio doors, the open-plan living and dining room manifests contemporary elegance with its crisp white walls and delicate spot lighting. Statement furniture adds to the enlightened atmosphere, including an Aztec camelback sofa and the banquet-style chairs that grace a refined dining area surrounded by discerning paintings. Two tones tell the story of the stylish kitchen which luxuriates in its shades of white and grey. Combining practicality and good taste with its wood cabinetry, marble backsplash and under-cabinet lighting, the kitchen boasts top-of-the-range facilities including a walk-in refrigerator pantry and glossy black range cooker with induction hob.

Enlivened by oriental and abstract artwork, the first floor living room offers a relaxing environment in which to unwind in front of a flat screen TV and cosy modern fireplace. Minimalist in style, the master suite exudes relaxation with its plush king-sized bed and understated interior styling. It’s a harmonious atmosphere that equally transcends the adjoining en-suite bathroom, offering an opulent free-standing bath and separate shower. A pared-back aesthetic also pervades the second suite, hosting a woven wood king-sized bed, built-in cupboards and a walk-in dressing room. Marble tiling brings a lavish air to the adjoining en-suite bathroom which offers a spacious walk-in shower and mirrored bathtub. Chandelier lighting and shuttered windows bring a light and airy atmosphere to the third suite, home to a king-sized bed, TV and en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. Capacious in size, the fourth bedroom is located on the basement level and offers a trundle bed with two further sleeping spaces, as well as a massage table should you require some R&R after a busy day taking in the tourist sights. On this level, you’ll also find the fourth bathroom, contemporary in style with a walk-in steam shower and a stylish single wash basin, as well as the utility room.

Stepping outside, an enchanting walled garden enshrines the sense of serene suburban living with the soothing green wall surrounding the seating area reminding you of your location in one of London’s leafiest neighbourhoods. It mirrors the uplifting mood that abounds as you exit the property to admire the impressive exterior; classically British with its climbing ivy and potted plants yet subtly European in style with its elegant whitewashed façade and sensuous shuttered windows. Nestled down a quiet tree-lined road, it’s moments from the cafes and boutique shops of Hampstead.

The clue’s in the title – the enviable location in the leafy and artistic neighbourhood of Hampstead, steps from a whole range of artisan cafés, cosy gastro pubs and high-end boutiques.

Home Truths:
Please no smoking or parties. Your own pets are welcome on request. Basil the tortoise lives on the patio - he's very friendly but can be removed if requested. He hibernates during winter, so you won't see him during November to April. Whilst the winding stairs are a great feature care should be taken with younger guests.There is a cot available in the home for our tiniest of guests which can be set up in any room. Donna, your host's cleaner, will attend 3 times per week mornings-Monday, Wednesday, Friday (except holidays and bank holidays) and will clean common areas (living rooms and kitchen) and water the plants, feed the tortoise and assist guests with any queries. This home is in a vibrant, popular area and occasionally there can be some good natured noise on summer weekends. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.
