Introduction

Wells House is a generously proportioned, exclusive family home newly constructed in the manner of a fine Edwardian villa and designed on a grand scale. Its substantial ceiling heights and capacious accommodation evoke the extravagance of the early twentieth century, while an abundance of features ranging from the health and entertainment suite to the impeccable design details are in keeping with the most luxurious levels of twenty-first century living.

In a quiet discreet turning off The Bishops Avenue, London’s most affluent street, Wells House is set in newly landscaped grounds and is closely connected to the stunning natural landscapes of nearby Hampstead Heath. Completed to impeccable standards and with exacting attention to detail, Wells House is the ultimate home for those who seek the very best in location and luxury.

Wells House

Visitors to the property will be received into an opulent entrance hall flooded with natural light. A marble clad staircase, lit by a stunning crystal pendant lighting feature, leads to a galleried landing.

With an internal floor area exceeding 10,225 sq ft (950 sq m), Wells House competes with some of its grandest neighbours. The six bedroom villa provides extensive opportunities for leisure and entertainment - including a 37 ft (10.9m) pool, health suite and cinema - while also including staff accommodation. Impeccably high standards in the specification and an extensive range of modern appliances by internationally renowned brands ensure an uncompromising regard to comfort and security.

To invest in Wells House is to invest in the ultimate London lifestyle.

Accommodation

Beyond the impressive entrance hall lies five equally capacious ground floor reception rooms. The dining room, drawing room and study each have direct access into the garden through imposing French doors, which provide generous levels of natural light.

Each of the six bedrooms includes both dressing rooms and en suite bath / shower rooms, with the master bedroom suite, which includes his and hers bathrooms and dressing rooms, both complete with polished Italian marble floors, THG bathroom fittings and Aquavision TVs set into mirrors.

The master bedroom suite, with full height windows, offers views across the garden and to the leafy landscape beyond.

With a sizeable second floor balcony and terraces, the house benefits from seamless connectivity to its gardens and to the natural beauty that is the essence of this highly desirable location.

An internal lift provides access from the ground and first floors to the basement, where residents and guests can enjoy extensive spa and fitness facilities including a gym, mosaic pool, sauna, Jacuzzi and treatment room; then complete the day relaxing in the cinema which is located in easy reach of a sizable wine cellar.

The house has a video entry system and external multi‐angle CCTV security cameras for 24 hour surveillance.

Design

The exterior architecture of Wells House is synonymous with the popular Arts and Crafts movement which flourished in London during the early 1900s, inspiring many of its most desirable residences, and becoming an enduringly popular domestic style. Excellence in craftsmanship, connection with nature and with natural light are defining features of the style, and are abundantly present here.

The grey and red brick exterior with intricate detailing and stone surrounds to windows and doors, glazed fan detail above front door and feature windows (including circular ‘port hole’ windows on upper floors) are elements of the Arts and Crafts style which can be found at neighbouring Hampstead Garden Suburb, one of the best examples of the movement.

The quality of the interior is in keeping with that of the exterior. The property’s sumptuous character is conveyed through the highest quality fixtures and fittings, which include satin lacquered American black walnut veneer internal doors, polished Italian marble floors, oak timber flooring, marble clad fireplaces, discreet recessed lighting in ceiling surrounds and velvet carpets throughout.

Built‐in media joinery is in high gloss lacquered American black walnut, while the kitchens, with their extensive marble work surfaces, feature Miele appliances.

All rooms include under‐floor heating for ultimate comfort and convenience, with seven day scheduling and energy saving options.

Situation

Facing south, the approach to the house includes an in / out carriage driveway with ample capacity for off-street parking.

A number of mature trees have been incorporated into the bespoke landscape proposals, creating gardens which belie the age of the house and evoke those of an established stately property. With elegant stone patios to rear and the west, external lighting with power and water supply, the garden is an entertainment suite in its own right.
