Detached house for sale in Turners Wood, London NW11

Located in one of the premier turnings off Wildwood Road and positioned directly opposite the Hampstead Heath Extension, this beautiful 'Arts and Crafts' house dates from 1917. This six bedroom link detached family home, designed by architect George Lister Sutcliffe sits on one of the most unique plots of land in the suburb.

The property, which spans over 4000 sq ft, sits on 0.45 of an acre garden and is arranged over three floors. It also backs directly on to The Turners Wood Bird Sanctuary, a 5.9 acre ancient private woodland only accessed by a handful of residents. The garden features a terrace, tiered and well-planted beds, a formal lawn with a small olive grove of 8 trees, leading on to a less formal, more meadow-like area complete with gravelled French-Style outside dining and a 30ft children's rope swings and play area.

Internally, you are welcomed by an octagonal-shaped entrance hallway with stone flooring and an incredible wooden oval staircase sitting centrally through the house. The accommodation comprises a kitchen breakfast room, a laundry room, a cloakroom, a well-proportioned family room/gym, and a huge, lateral 38' wide drawing room, spanning the entire width of the house that also leads out on to a terrace and the magnificent rear garden.

On the first floor, there is an opulent 20' x 15' principal suite, a bedroom that leads into a large dressing room which in turn leads into an oversized en suite Aston Matthews bathroom with views over the rear garden and the woods. There is a library/reading room, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom on this first floor. The second floor offers three further bedrooms, two of which are en suite plus a 'sleepover room' in the eves.

Turner's Wood is a cul-de-sac that is ideally located off Wildwood Road opposite the Heath Extension and backing on to Turner's Wood which is designated as a private natural woodland and bird sanctuary. The closest tube is Golders Green (Northern Line).
