WELL WALK, HAMPSTEAD VILLAGE, NW3

  • Medium 236602 rec rgb Freehold

##SOLD## A gorgeous three bedroom Grade II Listed Georgian home in the heart of the Village located between Hampstead Heath and High Street occupied between 1922 and 1945 by the well known poet and Punch editor, E V Knox.

This elegant property underwent an extensive refurbishment several years ago and is still presented in stunning condition throughout. The house retains a wealth of period features including the original window shutters, fireplaces and cornice works alongside a recently added garden room/conservatory with floor to ceiling concertina doors opening out onto a secluded South facing garden.

Well Walk was in former times the fashionable morning lounge for the visitor to the "Wells;" and here the gallants of the period could enjoy the fresh air in the shade of the tall lime-trees, which still remain along the edge of the raised pathway. In Well Walk, between the "Long Room" and the "Wells Tavern," lived and died John Constable, the painter. Like Gainsborough and Crome, Constable always proved himself a heartfelt lover of an English homestead. "I love," he said, "every stile, and stump, and lane in the village; as long as I am able to hold a brush I shall never cease to paint them."
