A substantial art deco house in north-west London, perfect for families and friends alike.
This original 1930s art deco home is the ideal entertaining space, taking sociable living to the next level both inside and out.
The central reception room at the front of the house is a symphony of curves, featuring Crittall bow windows, parquet floors and cast-iron radiators. The furnishings are brimming with character; navy velvet seating, a marigold piano and 1950s tiger-print cocktail bar do all the talking. It won’t take long to note that music plays a big role around the home. Artwork of Jim Morrison and Ziggy Stardust pay homage to the rocking seventies, and an original 1970s Juke Box is filled with danceable hits.
Head over to the kitchen, which effortlessly unites functionality with hospitality. Sophisticated cabinetry and a curved central island are placed alongside banquette seating – a nod to a classic American diner. It offers access to the tiered garden, where a dining table sits on a charcoal-grey terrace. Down the steps, a seating area and room for sun loungers by the heated pool. If you do find yourself working in the garden office, you can reward yourself with a few lengths, a spell in the hot tub or time relaxing in the beautifully fitted-out sauna. Nor are the youngsters neglected, with a full-sized trampoline.
Up to the first floor, a continuation of the eclectic glamour. A Murano Tulipani glass pendant makes for a dramatic centrepiece above the staircase. The master suite pays homage to the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel; a velvet bed with a scalloped headboard and banana-leaf feature wall updated in a soft blush hue. This colour carries through to the beautifully-fitted dressing room and deco-inspired tiles in the en-suite’s walk-in shower. If you needed a clue as to the homeowner’s profession, an electric guitar might just give the game away.
A second bedroom is a masterpiece in monochrome, with its Crittall windows leading out to a balcony. There are two further bedrooms, one currently used as a music room. The family bathroom is inspired by Ibiza, with striking blue and white tiles and a large Lusso Stone bath.
