Favourably located on one of the most sought-after roads in Kentish Town, Wallend is a very special three-bedroom modern house designed by Malcolm Smith of the renowned design practice Arup. Originally built in the 1970s, it was remodelled and extended in 2009.

The house is entered via a gate from the street and a small courtyard. Accommodation is arranged over two floors, with the sleeping accommodation downstairs and the living spaces upstairs to make the most of the outstanding natural light.

There is an entrance hall with a coat cupboard, with an original spiral staircase leading to the upper floor. One end is dedicated to a wonderful double-volume reception room, with full-height south-facing windows looking onto a mature cherry tree. At the other end is a dining area, and between the two is a modern kitchen with Corian doors and stainless-steel worktops. A neat piece of joinery surrounds the kitchen – a blue ‘tower of books’ – which can close off the space or open it up to the reception room.

This storage unit carries through to the lower floor, and conceals the bathroom. To one side is a master bedroom containing a built-in bed with storage beneath, and a walk-in wardrobe. To the other side there are two further bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study / guest bedroom, with a fold-down double bed and built-in storage system. A lovely garden wraps around the property on the south and west sides, with a lawn, bay trees, an acer and a wall of ivy.

The house has been built to a high specification, with bamboo floors, Vola taps and Duravit fittings in the bathroom, double-glazed Idealcombi windows and an alarm system. There is a large storage area beneath the entrance hall. Externally, the house is clad in oxidised zinc with a slate roof.

Ospringe Road is a quiet residential street predominantly containing large Victorian villas. It is close to the amenities of Kentish Town, Tufnell Park, Hampstead, Camden Town and Islington. Tufnell Park Underground Station (Northern Line) is a short walk away, which provides links to the City and the West End. The vast open spaces of Hampstead Heath are situated to the West.
