Storied streets with a village-like appeal, Hampstead is a trove of heritage homes set for well-heeled family living. Well Road is no exception, with its handsome red-brick exterior, considered use of space and proximity to the pastoral plains of Hampstead Heath. Behind its period façade, this family home has been reimagined with T G Studios’ contemporary architectural vision.

An open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is united by blonde floors and reams of natural light. To one side, striking artwork makes a bold statement against neutral walls, whilst sculptural chairs are focused around a marble coffee table. Wooden banquette seating affords a relaxed atmosphere to the eating area, illuminated by an oversized pendant light. The skylit kitchen pairs dark-blue cabinets with whitewashed Corrian worktops; Gaggenau appliances are integrated for a streamlined environment.

A staircase finished with immaculate glass balustrades invites you upstairs to a double reception room. Light pours in through sash windows, generating an atmosphere that’s both uplifting and soothing. To one side, a living space is imagined for cosy evenings, with a large sofa and sleek television. To the other, floor-to-ceiling storage accentuates the room’s high ceilings, with a Carrara marble bar area carved inside. From here, head out to the private terrace. Complete with integrated bench seating, Weber barbecue, pizza oven and teal-toned marble fireplace, it’s a suntrap sanctuary for alfresco entertaining.

Sleeping quarters are spread across the fourth and fifth floors, enjoying sweeping views across London. Nestled at the top of the home, find the serene master bedroom suite. Its pale carpets and walls lend attention to custom fabric wall panels. Through a sliding door, the ensuite is a showpiece of bathroom design. Greyscale marble sets the stage for a free-standing tub and walk-in shower. Downstairs, two further bedrooms are calming with pared-back tones. A family bathroom – wrapped in granite-toned tiles – sits next door. A fourth double bedroom can be found on the lower-ground floor, with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite shower room and an airy feel courtesy of French doors. Next door, form meets function in the utility room, featuring two large American-style machines. Verdant window boxes of self-watering flowers complete the exterior of this beautiful central Hampstead home.
