28, Blenheim Gardens, London, NW2 4NS

Spanning over 3,700 sq. Ft. From the cellar through to the raised ground, first and second floors, this fully detached family home is a true one-off for Willesden Green.

Believed to have once been the original farmhouse for the area, the house sits proudly on Blenheim Gardens, a quiet residential street just a short walk from Willesden Green Station and the Jubilee Line, giving superb access into Central London.

From the moment you arrive, there is a real sense of occasion. A generous front driveway with EV Charging comfortably accommodates three cars, a rare and valuable feature in this part of London.

The handsome red brick façade, bay windows and characterful architectural detailing immediately set the tone, with decorative angels watching over the entrance as though the house knows it is something special.

Built around the turn of the last century, it has all the presence and charm of a home from a more graceful era.

Stepping inside, the house opens with original floor tiles, beautiful wooden flooring and a magnificent central staircase that rises through the heart of the home.

This staircase is not just functional; it is a showpiece. Rooms and landings branch naturally from it, creating a wonderful sense of flow and grandeur.

Original panelling, stained glass windows, cornicing and period detailing give the house depth and soul, while the current owners have brought warmth, colour and artistic flair to the interiors.

The raised ground floor offers two impressive reception rooms, both with superb proportions and ceiling heights of approximately 3.6 metres.

The principal reception room features a striking bay window, the kind of space made for a Christmas tree and, frankly, a little neighbourhood envy.

The second reception room opens through French doors onto a flagstone patio, which then steps down into the glorious southwest facing garden. The garden is a complete sanctuary.

Mature planting, thoughtful landscaping and a real sense of privacy make it hard to believe you are in Zone 2 London.

The current owners clearly have green fingers, and the result is a lush, calm and beautifully established outdoor space, ideal for entertaining, summer barbecues, family life or simply sitting quietly and enjoying the birdsong.

To the rear of the house, the kitchen and dining area form the everyday heart of the home.

A timeless shaker-style kitchen sits beautifully within the space, with granite work surfaces, excellent storage and a central island that naturally draws people in.

The Lacanche range cooker, positioned within the original fireplace, is a serious focal point and gives the room both character and purpose.

The dining area is dual aspect and overlooks the garden, making it a wonderful place for family meals, long lunches and relaxed entertaining. Practicality has also been carefully considered.

There is a separate laundry area and guest WC, ideal for busy family living and entertaining.

A boot room off the main hallway provides the perfect everyday drop zone for coats, shoes, school bags and all the clutter that real life insists on bringing with it.

The lower ground cellar offers excellent additional storage and currently houses the boiler and large 250 litre Megaflow water tank, while also providing flexible space for hobbies, wine storage, workshop use or a proper man cave.

The first floor continues the sense of scale. Arranged across the main landing and half landings are four double bedrooms, with ceiling heights of approximately 3.5 metres.

The principal bedroom is particularly special, with an original fireplace, a large bay window overlooking the garden and an en suite bathroom with a roll top bath as its centrepiece.

A Juliet balcony adds another charming detail, allowing you to look out across the garden and start the day with a proper sense of calm.

The family bathroom is generously arranged with both a large separate shower and a separate bath, making it well suited to family life.

The remaining bedrooms are comfortable doubles, each with the proportions and character rarely found in more modern homes.

The second floor reveals one of the property’s most valuable and unusual features: A self-contained three-bedroom annexe. With its own separate side entrance, it offers genuine flexibility.

It could work beautifully for teenagers, live-in help, extended family, guests or as a potential income-generating rental space, subject to the necessary consents.

The privacy of its own access makes this part of the house particularly useful and sets it apart from most family homes in the area.

This is a house full of character, scale and charm, but it also works for modern life.

It combines Victorian and Edwardian elegance with practical family features, including double glazed sash-style windows to much of the house, usb points, excellent storage and flexible living space across multiple floors.

Homes like this rarely come to the market, not just because of their size, but because they have a personality that cannot be manufactured.

Willesden Green station (Jubilee Line) is just two minutes away on foot, offering fast connections to Bond Street, London Bridge and Canary Wharf.

Cricklewood Thameslink is also close by for access to King's Cross, St Pancras, and Luton Airport.

For families considering private education, the area is well-connected to many of North London’s top independent schools.

School coaches serving Hampstead's leading schools including ucs, South Hampstead and The Hall operate from nearby Chichele Road, while Belmont (Mill Hill) is also accessible via dedicated transport links.

Green spaces are plentiful, with Gladstone Park nearby for tennis, children’s play areas, café pit stops and open views ideal for morning jogs or weekend strolls.

Outstanding-rated local schools such as the Convent of Jesus and Mary rc School and popular Gladstone Park Primary are close by, while highly regarded independents like Maple Walk School offer further options for younger families.

Local shops are a short walk away including Newman’s Pharmacy with the amazing Auntie Bavna and her holistic remedies, Sanzio a delicious local Italian Restaurant, Beer and Burger and Gail’s Bakery just to name a few.

Fitness – ZeNW2 Yoga, Nuffield health Brondesbury Park and David Lloyd Cricklewood with a huge variety of classes, swimming pool and spa facilities, multi-club access and Free parking.

This is not just a large, detached house. It is a landmark home with history, heart and a level of flexibility that is genuinely hard to find in Northwest London.

Oli and Liana are very proud to help this family move and a new one to move into this truly wonderful home.
