Well Road, Hampstead, NW3, £5,250,000

Whether it’s the library, stained glass window or expansive Garden, this grade II listed house has many features that make it special. Built by JS Nightingale for the civil engineer Edward Gotto, the five bed property has two reception rooms, three bathrooms and a 92” walled garden, an ideal property for a discerning buyer.

The charming property has numerous well-lit and spacious areas, with individual period features such as a unique fireplace, paneling and ceiling mouldings.The house also has opportunity for improvement as although it is a listed building, permission has been give to extend the ground floor layout. Considering planning permission has already been granted (something that is a continual headache for many homeowners), it would be a shame use the opportunity to put your own stamp on it. However, whether you love the period features and expansive rooms, or would prefer to add your own style to it, this house has it all.
