this wonderful three-bedroom home is located on one of hampstead’s quaintest streets and represents the best of both worlds: peace, and tranquillity on a village-like street, while simultaneously being twenty minutes from central london.
the grade ii-listed property, which unfolds over three floors, has been thoughtfully designed to honour the history of the building while also having all the comforts and conveniences suitable for modern living. in the eighteenth century, this street was known as cloth hill because local laundresses who used hampstead wells hung their clothes out on the holly bushes to dry; these bushes still line the street today.
the ground floor comprises a generously proportioned reception room with wooden floors, a downstairs bathroom, a utility room and a characterful kitchen. this has slate floors and exposed brick walls with a dining area under a curved brick ceiling. on the first floor, there is an additional reception room, and a sunroom, both of which open onto a terrace. there is also a study accessible via the terrace, perfect for a separate working space.
fabulous wooden beams define two of the three bedrooms and the principal bedroom benefits from its own balcony and an ensuite bathroom.
holly hill is less than a five-minute walk from hampstead high street which has wonderful shops, cafes and restaurants as well as hampstead underground station which takes you to central london in 20 minutes. furthermore, the home is within walking distance of london’s largest green open space, hampstead heath.
