Positioned on a peaceful leafy street is this handsome four-bedroom Victorian house in Archway, only a few minutes walk from Dartmouth Park. Characterised by clean architectural lines and pared-back period features, the current owner has used warm and inviting colours throughout, which seamlessly combine with understated materials, such as oak and granite. The house is excellently located and within easy walking distance of several beautiful green spaces, including Hampstead Heath and Waterlow Park.

The Tour

The house is set back from the pavement behind an immaculate front garden with a variety of mature bushes. Steps lead up to the front door, which opens onto a long central corridor with tall ceilings, painted a muted grey. A grand double living area sits to the left via double doors. Generous timber-framed sash windows sit at one end with bespoke slatted shutters for privacy. The current owner has carefully retained the fireplace, which acts as the room’s main focal point, surrounded by bespoke joinery. Midnight blue walls add a calm and relaxing atmosphere.

A spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room leads from here, illuminated by plenty of skylights and sliding glazed doors at the rear, which open onto the garden. Open shelves at the front and rear add easily accessible storage while creating a sense of volume and height. The kitchen comprises sleek grey cabinetry and white Corian worksurfaces; the cooker sits within the island, offering an excellent vantage point for cooking and entertaining. Oak floorboards traverse the length of the room.

The main bedroom sits on the first floor; triple sash windows allow an excellent quality of light to pour through. The en suite has been arranged in an open plan, with a striking roll-top bath in the centre and a walk-in shower tucked neatly in the corner. Original floorboards have been painted grey to match the soft tones of the walls. There is also a separate study on this floor with French doors, which frame views across the flourishing garden beyond.

Two double bedrooms and an immaculate bathroom lie on the second floor. Both rooms have large sash windows, original fireplaces and plenty of storage space in the form of full-height wardrobes and bespoke shelving.

An additional bedroom with a kitchenette and en suite crown the top of the house via a spiral staircase. Skylights frame far-reaching views across the city to the south.

Outdoor Space

A peaceful split-level garden unfolds from the kitchen, bordered with a broad variety of evergreen and perennial plants to ensure it stays in bloom throughout the year. A wide, open patio sits at the front, cleverly levelled to provide a sense of flow between indoors and out. Steps lead up to an immaculate lawn with a decked veranda at the rear, which receives the best of the evening sun and is perfect for alfresco dining,

The Area

Tremlett Grove is wonderfully positioned close to Dartmouth Park and only a short walk from the green expanses of Waterlow Park, Hampstead Heath and Parliament Hill. The latter has tennis courts, a lido and a weekly farmers market. The Heath is one of London’s most popular public parks; the men’s and women’s swimming ponds, which offer year-round freshwater swimming, are also within walking distance.

The area has several excellent gastropubs, including St. John’s Tavern, The Bull and Last, The Flask, The Lord Palmerston and The Southampton Arms. The much-loved Norman’s Cafe is a short walk away, as is the wine shop Theatre of Wine.

Tufnell Park is also easily accessible, where there is a butcher, fishmonger, cafe, and charming French bistro with a deli.

Archway and Tufnell Park Underground stations (both on the Northern Line) are only a five and ten-minute walk, respectively. Upper Holloway Overground is also nine minutes on foot and runs direct lines to Barking and Gospel Oak.
