Charm abounds at this beautiful home, owned by a documentary maker whose travels are reflected in the artefacts and prints dotted throughout. The period house sits on a quiet tree-lined street in Kensal Rise and boasts the feel of an English country cottage despite its London townhouse exterior. Convenient transport links put you within fifteen minutes of Hampstead Heath and central London, and just a ten-minute walk from Queen’s Park and its Sunday morning farmers’ market. The plant-filled house is a haven of eclectic style, with open-plan layouts, two gardens, and a balcony.
