Buchanan Gardens, Kensal Rise, London, NW10

An extremely handsome Edwardian house, situated on Buchanan Gardens in Kensal Rise, NW10.

This impressive six bedroom home is brimming with original character and stands as one of the wider houses on the road, offering views directly onto the Elmwood Lawn Tennis Club.

From the road, its striking façade has been beautifully maintained, with a manicured front garden and hedgerow providing extra privacy. The original tiles line the ground-floor hallway, where period cornicing and detailing are immediately on show. Two generous living spaces sit to the front of the home, both with high ceilings and charming period fireplaces. The ground-floor guest bathroom is a full suite, including a bathtub, and the utility space is separate, with a full pantry located ahead of the kitchen. The kitchen/dining room opens onto the south-facing garden and offers comfort and charm, featuring a shaker-style kitchen and original wooden floors.

French doors lead out to the garden, where there is first a sun deck, with a mature grapevine draping over an archway to the side-return area, followed by a perfectly sized garden with shrubs and trees providing much-needed shade.

On the first floor are four bedrooms and a full family bathroom. The second floor offers two further bedrooms and an ensuite bathroom.

Offering 2,264 sq ft, with the opportunity to extend the footprint further on the ground floor (STPP), this very special home has been loved by the current owners for many years and is a rare gem in the neighbourhood.
