WINDMILL HILL, HAMPSTEAD VILLAGE, NW3
An exquisite four/five-bedroom Queen Anne, Grade II Listed family house discreetly positioned behind a gated drive and deep front garden, situated on one of the highest points of London at the summit of Hampstead Village.
Originally built c1710 this is an extremely rare opportunity to acquire such a beautiful property that extends to 3099 sq ft (288 sq mt) which still retains a plethora of original detail including working shutters, wall panelling, two splendid kitchen stone fireplace surrounds, one with an original ornate iron range and a rare fanlight on the front door with an ornate protruding lamp holder.
The property has been meticulously maintained and refurbished by the current owners over the last 14 years and has been re decorated throughout within the last 8 weeks.
On an historical note, the house is at the end of a terrace of three important houses, Bolton House and Windmill Hill House that were built at or around the same time with a later addition, Enfield House.
The terrace which sits next to the National Trusts Fenton House has a wonderful history of literary and artistic residents, namely Joanna Baillie, the Scottish ‘literary lioness’ who lived next door at Bolton House where visitors included Byron, Wordsworth, Keats and Sir Walter Scott, and Hannah Gluck, a society portrait artist who used adjoining No 7 Windmill Hill as her studio during the 1920s and 1930s.
The house benefits from a good size private rear garden and at the front of the house is an enclosed private dining patio and a communal garden and gated off street parking shared with Bolton House.
