behind this handsome red-brick façade on hamilton terrace lies a maisonette defined by its impressive breadth and warmth, where generous proportions have created a beautiful, well-proportioned home, ideal for entertaining.
the bedrooms are at raised ground level. the principal bedroom is very spacious, with an ensuite bathroom, ample storage, with direct access to a stunning terrace and a peaceful outlook over the garden, whilst two further double rooms are large, with plenty of storage and both have ensuite bathrooms. bathrooms are finished with clean contemporary lines, and the sense throughout is of space rather than compromise.
the lower ground floor forms the heart of the house. a broad dining room flows into a large reception, which in turn opens to a west-facing conservatory currently used as a relaxed family sitting room. huge windows extend along the full width of the elevation, drawing in light and creating a continuous connection with the garden beyond. leading from the dining area is an additional reception space that works equally well as a library or snug.
the kitchen and breakfast room was recently refurbished and is ideal for everyday family life. a central island anchors the room, with ample cabinetry and space for informal dining. a utility room, guest cloakroom and a further bedroom with ensuite bathroom sit to the rear, offering further accommodation for guests, staff or older children.
outside, the private west-facing garden stretches to over 130 feet, laid mainly to lawn, which provides a rare sense of depth and privacy for this central london location. at the far end of the garden, a detached studio and gym create a useful retreat for work or exercise, while a separate courtyard offers another quiet pocket for morning coffee.
hamilton terrace is one of the most distinguished addresses in st john’s wood, a wide tree-lined avenue known for its architectural elegance and unhurried atmosphere. the house lies approximately half a mile from st john’s wood station on the jubilee line and equidistant from warwick avenue and maida vale stations on the bakerloo line. clifton road and little venice are close by, with their independent cafés and waterside walks, while st john’s wood high street provides everyday shopping and a strong village feel that makes this corner of london so appealing.
