5 bed semi-detached house for sale

Dartmouth Road, London NW2

Built in 1906 and cherished by the same family for the past forty years, this exceptional semi-detached house is one of the Mapesbury Conservation Area’s most beautifully preserved Edwardian houses. Full of period character and craftsmanship, it stands as a fine example of the architecture that defines this treasured enclave.

Distinctive period detailing defines the exterior. The porch woodwork and timber detailing have been carefully maintained, complemented by the front gable beams and repointed brickwork. Occupying one of the more favoured positions along Dartmouth Road, it enjoys a natural sense of light, space, and calm that enhances its period grace.

The original front door provides the first glimpse of the home’s Edwardian craftsmanship, with its curved glazed panel, stained glass, and leaded detailing offering a fitting introduction to what lies within. The tessellated tiled hallway, solid white oak floors in the front reception and dining room, traditional Anaglypta walls, and feature fireplaces all remain in remarkable condition, forming a timeless interior that has been lovingly cared for.

At the rear, three large, free-flowing reception rooms of around 19 to 20 feet interconnect across one level with a central kitchen linking the spaces and opening to a terrace that flows down to a beautifully landscaped garden with patio, winding path, and ornamental pond – an ideal layout for entertaining and everyday living.

A downstairs cloakroom adds practicality, while upstairs are five bedrooms: Four generous doubles and a single currently used as a study with peaceful views over the garden. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite, with a further family bathroom serving the remaining rooms. The central staircase is a striking original feature, reflecting the scale and symmetry of Edwardian design.

With side access, a mature front garden, two boilers, and a 726 sq ft loft offering scope for two further double bedrooms (subject to the usual consents), this is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully preserved period home in the heart of Mapesbury.
