This remarkable three-bedroom house lies on the corner of a peaceful, treelined street in Gospel Oak. Beautifully executed by Flawk the house unfolds across three storeys, with a rooftop terrace extending from the top floor. Its curved, idiosyncratic plan creates an organic sense of openness and movement, while infusing the living spaces with natural light. A pared-back palette and bespoke joinery throughout underscore the interiors’ quiet sophistication and playful attention to detail. Gospel Oak station is a three-minute walk from the house and Hampstead Heath is a short stroll beyond.

The Tour

Set at the end of a row of mid-century terraces, the house is approached via a gated entrance that opens onto a carefully planted front garden, with a Hawthorne tree in the centre. Recognisable for its sculptural form, the understated brick exterior is animated by a curved, tower-like volume and glazing in a variety of shapes.

The front door reveals a bright hall on the ground floor level, with a cloakroom immediately to the left. Deliberately spare and generously proportioned, the interiors are defined by a restrained colour palette and a considered selection of materials and finishes. Crisp white walls are complemented by rich oak-wood floorboards, while natural light infuses the space with clarity and depth. Across all floors, bespoke joinery lends a sense of cohesion while also providing abundant space for storage.

The plan unfolds naturally onto a sociable open-plan reception area, which occupies the entirety of this floor. The sitting room is at the front, framed by a tall window overlooking the front garden. A pivot door swings to close this area from the front door, while a WC with marble sink lies just behind.

The kitchen and dining room are positioned to the rear, where bespoke wood cabinets arranged in a L-shape configuration are topped with slim brushed-steel work surfaces. Integrated appliances include a Smeg oven, Miele dishwasher and a Bosch fridge-freezer.

From the hall, a striking staircase with a sculpturally executed balustrade and sleek steel handrail ascends to the upper floors. In the stairwell, large circular windows frame views of the surrounding greenery. Natural light spills in through a large skylight above, allowing the communal spaces to softly glow.

The principal bedroom crowns the top of the house, offering a private and quiet retreat. It has a walk-in wardrobe with handles by STORE projects and glass doors sliding open to a private terrace with views across the heath. The en suite is well appointed with a large walk-in shower and finished with Tadelakt-coated walls. Tactile, square stone tiled flooring extends underfoot, warmed by underfloor heating.
