From the outside, this property looks like any other early twentieth century suburban home.
From the inside, however, it’s another story: the only glimpse you’ll get of the original Arts & Crafts architecture is when looking out of the leaded windows.

Following its complete renovation by Eldridge Smerin Architects, this Hampstead house would be unrecognisable to its original Victorian inhabitants.
The lateral extension is built in a style that is harmonious with the original building but entirely contemporary and the interior is a lesson in slick minimalism.

The low-rise property is spread over 5585 sq ft and is made from two buildings joined together, resulting in two quite distinct styles in the home: from one side it resembles a bungalow, while the other end of the building is taller.
The spacious, open-plan home is currently configured for family life and has a large decked roof terrace with views over London, while a garage and patio complete the Californian vibe of this sprawling hidden gem.
