4 rooms house of 492m² in London

From the outside, this inconspicuous house in Kensal Rise isn't one you'd double-take at. You wouldn't think it's any different from its neighbours...but how wrong you'd be. The exterior of this Thirties terraced home in North London has remained the same but the interior is awe-inspiring. With an award-winning design by Andy Martin, the "Ugly House" creates every interior designer's dream. Walking through the front door, you're greeted by the open plan ground floor. Looking through, you can see the south-facing, serene garden, smart swimming pool, grass-topped sauna. The ground floor is bright, contemporary and perfect for family living. You'll immediately notice the black-painted, wooden feature wall behind the wood-burning stove which is made up of the property's original floorboards. The kitchen is lined with second-hand steel units, wooden shelves and a white marble countertop. The first floor is home to three bedrooms. All flooded with light, the bedrooms offer a simple design and share a bright white bathroom. The converted attic is now a bright master suite. With an egg bath under the window, this is the perfect sanctuary at the end of a busy day. Ample storage and an entirely glass-walled en-suite complete the master bedroom. The result is an effortlessly-chic family home in an area renowned for its quick transport links into the city and beyond. Whitmore Gardens is a popular residential street within easy reach of all the shops, bars and cafes of both College Road and Chamberlayne Road. Also nearby are Queens Park, Kensal Green Station (Bakerloo Line) and Kensal Rise Overground stations that offer excellent links to and from the city.
