The Modern House Agent Valuation of this property is £1,200,000
This striking four-bedroom home is in the middle of an attractive terrace on Wakeman Road in Kensal Green. Thoughtfully extended and refurbished, the current owners have used a muted palette throughout the interior, complemented by pops of colour. The open-plan and versatile kitchen/dining space is flooded by light from a full-width sliding door that opens out onto the garden. Outside, there is a built-in barbeque area and room for entertaining in the summer months.
The Tour
Set back from the road behind a low-level rendered wall, the sage-green façade is punctuated by black-framed fenestration. The home unfolds behind a muted grey door set within a storm porch with a white arch.
Once inside, the line of sight stretches along a hall laid with eye-catching Solus Ceramics Terrazzo Fouta and out into the garden. A step leads into the kitchen/dining room at the rear; the eye is immediately drawn to the full-width sliding doors to the garden. Grounded by a salt-and-pepper concrete floor and painted in Fuji by Paint & Paper Library, the space is demarcated into two zones by the lightwell and the solid oak structural beams over the dining area. Here, a built-in bench seat and cabinet with a European oak veneer give way to allow ample space for a large dining table and chairs; pendant lights by Hand and Eye Studio hang above and in the kitchen.
A white stone Silestone island extends from a painted brick wall and bounds the kitchen; an overhang allows for stools to be placed underneath. The worktops in the kitchen, made from the same Silestone, incorporate a Fisher and Paykel induction hob, a stainless steel sink and a tap; white cabinetry flows above and below, and handmade Zellige tiles form the splashback.
To the left of the hall, at the front of the plan, is the living room. Here, walls are finished in Hicks Blue paint by Little Greene to contrast with the white ceiling; one wall is given over to open shelving. A utility room is laid with Terrazzo Fouta echoing the hallway; a WC, painted in the same Hicks Blue, lies across the hall.
The stairs ascend from the hall to the first floor. The main bedroom has a wide-framed window overlooking Wakeman Road and a set of full-width muted-green wardrobes run across one wall; an en suite has a shower with white tiles, black sanitary wear and a black framed shower screen. A second bedroom is finished in Salix by Little Greene and overlooks the garden. Next door is a family bathroom, where the lower section of the walls and the bath panel are tiled in Milan Bossi by Fired Earth; there is a storage cupboard in the hall.
The stairwell to the loft is bathed in light, welcomed in through a large roof light. The attic has been converted into two further bedrooms, one with an en suite. Walls are painted a muted grey in both rooms; the rear bedroom has a large window and the bedroom at the front has a Velux window built into the pitch of the roof.
Outdoor Space
Through sliding doors at the rear, there is a private garden with a patio laid with the same concrete as the kitchen floor. This creates a seamless flow and blurs the boundary between inside and out. A central lawn and raised brick planters surround the perimeter; a brick bench seat sits opposite the barbeque area and is set in a brick patio. A brick wall bounds the garden, topped by slatted timber trellis and red-leafed creepers, which form a verdant screen.
The Area
Wakeman Road is located a short walk from the Grade i-listed, 72-acre open space of Kensal Green Cemetery. Just a 10-minute walk from Queen’s Park, it is also close to the northern end of Ladbroke Grove and its cafes, bars and restaurants. Local favourites include the independent Whippet Inn Pub, The Parlour pub, The Paradise bar and restaurant, Sacro Cuore Pizza for a bite to eat or the popular Wildcard for a speciality coffee. The Grand Union Canal towpath is also close by, a natural walkway filled with greenery and stretching 137 miles from London to Birmingham and is the longest canal route in England.
The nearest underground station is Kensal Green (around a five-minute walk), which has access to both the Bakerloo Line and London Overground services. Other Overground services run from Kensal Rise station and Willesden Junction (10 and 20 minutes walk respectively), with connections to Richmond in one direction and Highbury & Islington in the other. The area is well served by a wide range of bus services into central London and elsewhere. There is quick road access to the West via the A40/M40.
