5 bedroom terraced house for sale

Kate Brookfield presents this very special five bedroom family house on Burns Road, NW10.

Rich with original period details and lovingly renovated, this house offers over 1,600 sq ft of beautifully presented space across three floors.

From the street, the house offers a very attractive frontage, with clean brickwork and white masonry. The windows are dressed with shutters, and a gate leads you to the blue front door. Entering into the hallway, you have a clear line of sight to the pretty garden, and the staircase with its cornflower blue detail catches your eye and makes a strong case for the interior which lies ahead.

The double living space to the front features high ceilings, an original fireplace, and floor to ceiling fitted shelves, perfect for large book and vinyl collections.

The living spaces connect to the extended kitchen/dining area, which has a real country home feel. Skylights illuminate the space above the work areas, with a fixed window at the end, and double doors opening to the walled garden. The kitchen flanks both sides, with space in the centre for a farmhouse dining table, and the large limestone style floors complete the room. Flowing back through the main hallway, there is a guest WC, a large understairs utility space, and further storage.

The original wooden floors of the house, which have been kept in excellent condition, run throughout the property (with the exception of the kitchen and loft conversion), and all windows have been replaced with double glazed wooden framed sash windows.

On the first floor half landing there is a generous family bathroom with a tub and shower, and a double bedroom set to the rear with views over the garden. On the first floor there is a double bedroom in the middle with an original fireplace, and to the front, the former principal bedroom of the house, with generous proportions, high ceilings, and a fireplace.

The converted loft space offers a good-sized double bedroom (currently utilised as a walk in closet) and a large, light filled main bedroom with a gorgeous en suite shower room. There are also two areas for loft storage (one in each of the second-floor bedrooms).

Burns Road sits among the most popular collection of roads in Harlesden, desired for its close proximity to local primary and independent schools (John Keble CoE and Maple Walk), as well as being a short walk to Park Parade with its selection of lovely cafés such as Alma’s, Kaleo and Rubio, as well as Nilly Florist, which transforms weekly into a supper club with jazz evenings and a cocktail club.

For local green space, Roundwood Park — with its Grade II listed status and Green Flag award — is much loved by local residents, offering flower gardens, children’s play areas, wildlife areas, an aviary, café and sports facilities.
