Generous proportions, lofty ceilings and welcoming natural light characterise this elegant three-bedroom apartment in Willesden Green. Spanning over 1,360 sq ft, the home is arranged across the first and second floors of a beautiful Victorian terrace on leafy Dean Road, a short walk from Willesden Green Underground station. A door from its uppermost level provides access to a large elevated terrace, at once private and with far-reaching views.

Setting the Scene

Dean Road lies within the Willesden Green Conservation Area, renowned for its period architecture and historical landmarks. Set back from the street behind a well-kept front garden, the building's red brick façade rises over three storeys, with large windows a traditional pitched roof.

The apartment has been sensitively renovated by the current owners, who have carefully preserved its wealth of original features while introducing a cohesive palette of soft, neutral tones. High-quality materials and thoughtfully chosen finishes run throughout, creating a strong sense of continuity.

The Grand Tour

The front door of the apartment opens into a generous hallway used as a useful entrance space. Solid wood floorboards extend throughout, imbuing the home with tonal warmth. Thoughtfully arranged and carefully finished, the interiors are enriched by an abundance of natural light.

From the hallway, large French doors painted with rich 'Railings' by Farrow and Ball open into the inviting kitchen and breakfast room – the heart of the house, well-appointed for both daily life and entertaining. A south-easterly light bathes the space, which is centred around a generous island. Bespoke white cabinets are arranged in a practical L-shape, topped with Arabescato quartz worktops. There is also a butler sink with a brass DeVOL tap and matching fixtures, and a Britannia range cooker.

The reception room lies at the front of the plan, organised to accommodate both sitting and dining areas. Walls are painted in a soft 'Green Smoke' by Farrow and Ball. On one side, a cast-iron fireplace with decorative tiled surrounds adds warmth and character. A tall box bay window draws in natural light and is the perfect spot for a dining table.

A bright and peaceful guest bedroom is next door, with high ceilings, egg and dart cornicing, and timber floorboards. There is a guest shower room accessible from the hallway, with floral 'Artemis' wallpaper by House of Hackney and marble chequerboard floors. A walk-in shower is enclosed by a Crittal glass screen and lined with beautiful 'Hoxton Green' gloss porcelain tiles from Mandarin Stone.

A staircase with a sisal runner ascends to the top floor, where two spacious bedrooms lie. The principal bedroom is flooded with light from windows set in a box bay. There is a large cast-iron fireplace on one side, and an en-suite bathroom with a bold, floral wallpaper. The charming third bedroom is perfectly serene, making it an ideal space for a child’s bedroom or home office. Its pitched ceiling creates a voluminous atmosphere, adding to the room’s allure.
