Regent’s Park Terrace, NW1, £4,835,500

Considering how near Primrose Hill’s substantial parkland is to this house, the diminutive garden is hardly an off-putting factor. And there’s an adorable terrace, which is a perfect spot for a morning coffee on a sunny day.

The five-bedroom house has been impeccably decorated offering just the right balance between character and neutrals with stand out entertaining space in the reception room and open plan kitchen and dining room.

The rooms are filled with light from the elegant sash windows. Period features are in good nick and have been carefully highlighted by the white-toned walls and painted wooden floors. Otherwise, it’s a toss up between the original fireplaces and the three gorgeously appointed bathrooms for the most covetable feature crown.

Perfect for the first timer with their heart set on a Kentish Town pad, but perhaps a budget that won’t quite stretch to a period conversion, this apartment is part of a development of five new homes close to Queen’s Crescent market.

The homes have individually designed kitchens and bathrooms (the image used here is of a differently priced unity), underfloor heating and high quality appliances. Not bad for your first home.
