A tulip fringed garden, impressive contemporary artworks and an oh so dreamy home office set-up allow this Hampstead Heath home to stand in a league of its own. Stylish and refined, the interiors of this space may present a laid-back and carefree ambience. Still, it's clear from the get-go that careful selection and meticulous attention to detail went into its design – and we're completely obsessed. Immense natural daylight flows through the white-washed walls of the home, bringing energy and life to the statement accessories and artworks throughout. From the sunken sofas and cosy throws to the minimal earthy palette and juxtaposing Persian style carpets – the living areas invite you to unwind and clear your head away from the buzz of the city. Upstairs, a mezzanine office and library juts above another sitting area, providing the perfect nook for those who need to work from home while staying here. Bathed in natural light, it's a creative's den, writer's paradise and reader's sanctuary – all in one. When the weather is kind, however, you'll undoubtedly want to use the manicured garden at the back of the home too. Featuring a little pond (a real rarity in London), the garden area...

About Hampstead

Hampstead is pretty irresistable. It's not right in the centre of London but it's a real oasis to come back to at the end of a day of hectic sightseeing and there's plenty to explore here in its own right. Your neighbours will be a mix of affluent intellectual types: London's top psychiatrists, book publishers, writers etc. They are attracted by Hampstead's village atmosphere, vast array of characterful period houses, independent shops and restaurants and, last but by no means least, the delights of the vast green expanses of Hampstead Heath, with its much-loved wild swimming ponds.
