Description
Tucked away in a peaceful cul de sac, surrounded by nature, number 1 Hampstead Avenue is a beautiful end of terrace period home built in the 1930's and heavily influenced by the Art Deco style. This property has been refurbished and decorated with incredible style by the current owners and comes to the market for the first time in 35 years. The house is filled with original features such as fireplaces, polished wooden floors and picture rails which give it great charm and character. The location is directly opposite Albert College Park which means there are terrific woodland views to the front of the house while the south facing rear garden is a gardener's dream and very private, a rarity so close to the city. Extending to approx. 34m the rear garden will please the most decerning buyer. The boundary to the side with the neighbouring property is a belt of mature woodland which means No.1 is surrounded by majestic and magnificent trees front, side and rear.

The original floors have been polished and other features include stained glass hall door and interior door insets, picture rails and ceiling roses. The living room is located to the rear with feature fireplace, polished wooden floor and French doors to the garden. The kitchen and dining room have been combined to create a large open space with dual aspect. The kitchen is fitted with a great range of floor and wall units with a view of the park opposite, the dining area offers plenty of space for a large dining table and French doors to the garden. A solid fuel stove 'Stovax in design' creates a lovely focal point. A door leads from the kitchen to the garage and a utility room is located off the garage. Upstairs there are three generous sized bedrooms all with polished wooden floors and two with original cast iron fireplaces. A modern family bathroom completes the accommodation.
While the property is a comfortable family home it offers enormous potential to extend (subject to pp) as many of the neighbouring house have already done so.
The gardens are undoubtedly an incredible feature of the property. The front garden offers off street parking for several cars and mature planting while the south facing rear garden is laid in lawn with matures trees including a 90 year old apple tree, herbs, and many flowering plants ensures an there is abundance of colour and fruit. There is a large decking area adjoining the house with steps down to the large lawn and a pebble pathway which winds through the garden to a Garden Room approx, 24sqm which is currently used as a home office, there is a patio area laid in grey granite with inserted LED lights, and a barbeque area. A huge bonus are the double gates which lead to a wide gated laneway which then leads to The Rise (off Griffith Avenue) with local restaurant and various shops including a pharmacy.
The garden room was built in 2022 and has the benefit of electricity and plumbing, internet connection, and is independently alarmed.
