A spectacular and generously proportioned contemporary house designed by the acclaimed Australian architects Denton Corker Marshall, with a stunning position overlooking Kilburn Park Grange. The building is currently used solely as a residence, but it would also make an ideal live/work property. It was originally built for a photographer, and the ground floor, which has its own separate entrance, incorporates a vast 64ft studio with a darkroom, office and kitchen facilities. The first floor houses the living quarters, including 3 bedrooms, a TV room, two bathrooms, and an awe-inspiring kitchen/living room with full-height retractable glass doors offering magnificent views across the park. The house also benefits from concrete floors and under-floor heating throughout.

Kilburn Underground station (Jubilee Line) and Brondesbury National Rail station are both a short walk away. The high street offers plentiful shopping and leisure facilities, and Kilburn Grange Park, which has tennis courts, is situated directly behind the property.

The property is set back some distance from Kilburn High Road and is entered through a driveway with parking space for several cars. It was built on the site of a former brick stable block, adjacent to what used to be a stately home with parkland (now Kilburn Park Grange). The narrow front elevation belies the amount of space within, and consists of a zinc-clad first floor raised on pilotis with a small court and full-height timber folding doors to the studio beneath. The majority of the accommodation faces the tree-lined park at the rear. The park is locked at sundown, giving the house total privacy at night.

The practice Denton Corker Marshall was founded in Melbourne in 1972. Its most renowned commissions include Stonehenge Visitor Centre, the Manchester Civil Justice Centre, the Australian embassies in Beijing and Tokyo, and the Melbourne Museum. In 1996, founder members John Denton, Bill Corker and Barrie Marshall were jointly awarded the Royal Australian Institute of Architects’ most prestigious honour, the Gold Medal.
