Set on the coveted Elsworthy Road, this beautiful detached red brick house is defined by expansive volumes. In need of modernisation, the house unfolds over three floors, served by a passenger lift, and has beautiful period features and large living spaces. The large and verdant south-facing garden has direct access to Primrose Hill. The house is 6,838 sq ft and currently has planning consent to expand it to 10,634 sq ft.
Set behind a carriage driveway, you enter via a welcoming entrance hallway with a vast sculptural staircase that runs through the heart of the home. The house has fantastic potential to create a spectacular family home and has the benefit of two garages.
Currently, two reception rooms occupy the rear of the ground floor, each with south-facing French doors that open to the garden, flooding them with natural light. Perfect for entertaining, a large dining room is found at the front of the house adjacent to the breakfast kitchen which opens into the garden. Also on the ground floor is a utility room and cloakroom.
The master suite with a separate dressing room is found on the first floor along with three guest suites. On the second floor, there are three bedrooms and a further utility room. The house has the added benefit of a roof terrace on the top floor overlooking Primrose Hill.
The house is one of the few properties with direct access to Primrose Hill, which is popular with dog walkers and those trying to catch the best view of the London skyline. The area is well known for its boutique shops, brilliant restaurants, and cosy local pubs. Schools in the area are excellent, Primrose Hill Primary School is close, and just at the end of the road is St Paul’s C of E Primary. The house is excellently connected; Swiss Cottage Underground Station (Jubilee Line) is 0.6 miles away, while Chalk Farm Underground Station (Northern Line) is 0.7 miles away.
