set back from heath drive behind tall hedging and a gated carriage driveway, this imposing double-fronted, detached, red-brick house offers generous, beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over four main floors, with the added benefit of a large cellar, loft rooms and a garage. the house has a quietly authoritative presence, typical of this particularly coveted stretch of nw3, and is framed by mature gardens that create a strong sense of privacy.
the ground floor is arranged for both family life and formal entertaining. a welcoming central hallway leads through to a series of elegant reception rooms, including a large reception with direct access to the garden, a separate dining room and a library or drawing room, each enjoying classic proportions and excellent natural light. a well-sized home office sits discreetly alongside the main living spaces, ideal for working from home. to the rear, the modern, fully fitted kitchen and breakfast room opens directly onto the garden and connects seamlessly to a separate utility room, making it as practical as it is sociable.
on the first floor, the principal bedroom forms a generous suite, with a separate dressing area leading through to the ensuite bathroom. three further double bedrooms are arranged across this level, each served by well-appointed ensuite shower rooms, offering excellent flexibility for family living or guests.
the second floor provides three additional bedrooms and further bath and shower facilities, alongside access to large loft rooms. these upper levels offer clear potential to reconfigure or further enhance the existing accommodation, subject to the usual consents, allowing a purchaser to maximise usable space or adapt the layout to suit changing needs.
beneath the house, a substantial cellar adds further versatility. with its generous footprint, this level offers scope to create additional usable accommodation such as leisure, wellness or ancillary spaces, subject to requirements and permissions.
outside, the mature garden and patio extend the living space in warmer months, while the gated driveway and garage provide secure off-street parking.
