Within the eclectic tapestry of Hampstead’s streets, a period home pairs an elegant framework with rich design. Spread across four sprawling floors, Denning Road takes cues from its calming surroundings.
Past a picturesque red-brick façade, a sophisticated dining and reception room unfurls. Against pristine white walls and warm wooden floors, a majestic marble fireplace commands attention. Flooded in light from a tall bay window, there’s an uplifting feel to a formal dining area. Across the rear of the room, a generous lounge is drawn together with artful finishes. Curated pieces from French artist Silvia Calmejane infuse a touch of whimsy, while furnishings from Ligne Roset and Soho Home add an eclectic touch. Offering glimpses of the manicured garden below – French doors beckon to intimate balconies.
Descend to the lower ground floor to discover a culinary masterpiece — an open-plan kitchen and dining room bathed in light sage hues. Minimalist white cabinetry and integrated Miele appliances grace the space, while a one-of-a-kind Corian kitchen island steals the spotlight. A slanted skylight casts a soft glow across the dining area beyond, backdropped by a wall of glazing that opens to the private garden.
Serving as a seamless extension of the space, a serene, decked terrace promises a verdant retreat from the urban bustle. Imagine alfresco dining and afternoon drinks in London’s sunnier seasons. Steps lead down from here to a lush expanse of greenery; a vibrant landscaped space that feels worlds away from the city.
Ascend to the first floor to retreat to the principal bedroom — a cocoon of calm enveloped in inky walls. Natural light streams through a white bay window, illuminating a wall of fitted wardrobes and light wooden floors. An en suite bathroom awaits, complete with a dual vanity, and inviting bathtub. Arranged across the top floor, three further bedrooms are equally considered and calming, served by a serene family bathroom. The home also benefits from a study – a quiet spot to work remotely.
