Haus, Wrentham Avenue, London

From the outside, this house is classic Queen’s Park – a picturesque façade that sits comfortably within its tree-lined street. Inside, interiors have been carefully reworked to favour connection, with a family-orientated layout that unfolds across three expansive floors.

At the front, a reception room leans into its period framework. Bespoke storage rises to the ceiling, while a large southeast-facing window draws in soft, consistent light. The palette is calm and restrained, allowing proportion and materiality to take precedence.

The focus naturally pulls to the rear, where the home opens up into an informal, sociable setting. Here, a concrete-topped island anchors the kitchen, framed by grey shaker cabinetry, a Mercury range cooker and playful pendant lighting. An original fireplace defines the adjoining lounge, while skylights and glazed doors extend sightlines out to the garden, reinforcing the home’s easy sense of flow.

Beyond, a private garden provides a welcome sense of retreat. At the far end, a self-contained studio offers flexibility – guest accommodation, workspace or home gym. Set alongside, a sauna, cold plunge and outdoor shower introduce a quieter, wellness-led layer.

Upstairs, five bedrooms are arranged with adaptability in mind. The principal suite is well-proportioned and understated, with a cast-iron fireplace and thoughtful en suite. Four additional bedrooms lend themselves equally to family life, served by a family bathroom and shower room.

A hub for creatives, commuters and families, Queen’s Park is a neighbourhood brimming with eclectic eateries and a keen sense of community. Chamberlayne Road – just a five-minute walk away – was coined London’s ‘hippest street’ by Vogue: local favourites include Wildcard Coffee, Mr. Fish and The Salusbury wine store. The eponymous Queen’s Park is on your doorstep, complete with tennis courts and a petting zoo. On Sunday mornings, head to the Farmers Market to pick up local produce.
