Set in the heart of Hampstead, a beloved London village with a rich cultural past and present, this gorgeous family abode blends antique furnishings with modern elements to create a space that’s fresh and homely. There’s an open-concept living area at its core – make yourself comfortable on the elegant camel-back sofa as the appointed cook of your clan gets to work in the glossy kitchen. In the mornings, if it’s nice out, take your breakfast beside Basil the tortoise on the jungle-inspired patio. When the weather takes a turn, retreat to the sitting room and curl up on the squishy couch with a milky cup of tea and a novel plucked from the bookcase. Before ticking off the blue plaques that adorn the walls of local buildings, take a gentle stroll through the heath, just thirteen minutes from your doorstep. Mosey along Hampstead High Street for trendy coffee houses, acclaimed gastro-pubs, one-of-a-kind homeware boutiques and treasure trove bookshops. Should you need to nip into central, it’s a fifteen-minute tube ride to Tottenham Court Road.
