This expansive five-bedroom Edwardian family home in the genteel urban village of Muswell Hill is an interior triumph, showcasing the enduring simplicity and versatility of the neutral home.
Spanning some 2300 sqft internally, with five bedrooms and voluminous, lateral living spaces, the interiors have been expertly curated under current ownership. The ground floor offers two reception rooms, each filled with charming period features and lofty ceilings exceeding 3 meters, and a sprawling kitchen family room that overlooks the garden. Crittall doors are deployed intelligently to separate the three spaces into distinctive zones, without compromising seamless views throughout the house to the garden beyond. The ground floor further benefits from a pantry, utility cupboard and downstairs WC.
On the first floor, there is an exceptional principal bedroom suite, with abundant storage and a luxurious en-suite bathroom clad in Emperador marble and tadelakt. The bathroom offers a further dressing area, a large shower, a double vanity unit and a contemporary roll-top bath. To the rear of the first floor, there is another bedroom suite, with vaulted ceilings, fitted wardrobes and en-suite shower room. There is also a sumptuous family bathroom to the front of the house, attired decadently in marble and with another freestanding bath.
On the second floor: two further double bedrooms with an adjoining snug; a single bedroom; and shower room. The roof of the property has been laid with artificial grass, offering enviable views of Highgate Woods and the rooftops of Muswell Hill.
Impeccably finished throughout, with true handle-less kitchen cabinetry, hand-finished oak parquet floors, Crosswater and Aquaroc bathroom fittings, commanding feature fireplaces, bespoke joinery, and underfloor heating, this home is a masterpiece.
For centuries, Muswell Hill endured as a rural area of lush pasture, woods and open spaces overlooking the Thames valley. It is now an affluent neighbourhood, centred around the lively Broadway, with its delis, fashion boutiques, chic cafes, and international restaurants. Nearby Alexandra Park has a boating lake, as well as the hilltop Alexandra Palace; a 19th century edifice with panoramic city views.
