4 bedroom detached house

*SHORT LET*
A truly exceptional period home in Willow Road, a highly sought-after street in the heart of Hampstead Village facing Hampstead Heath. Arranged on four storeys (the lower ground floor is not included), the property is presented in beautiful condition with a spacious kitchen, two reception rooms, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, downstairs WC and a dining terrace leading down to one of the largest gardens in the street.

The south-facing garden is home to what is widely regarded as the tallest climbing rose in London, and a summer house inspired by the famous Hampstead modernists Barbara Hepworth and Ben Nicholson. Each year in May, swifts from the Congo return to this part of the Village and swoop the gardens all summer long.

The top two floors host an outstanding modernist reception room with a mezzanine level library. Two further terraces offer picture book views of the Heath, the Village and an elevated view of the City of London.

Willow Road is a particularly quiet street. The bells of Christchurch ring out on Sunday mornings and weekdays are punctuated by the chatter of schoolchildren as they process past the house to and from the local primary school. At night, owls can be heard hooting on the Heath. In Spring the house looks out onto a sea of wild daffodils, and cow parsley spills off the heath like a country lane. In the autumn, the chestnut tree across the road peppers the street with conkers.

Available furnished. EPC: E
