Artistic secret garden adds to the magic of St John’s Wood residence
HAMILTON TERRACE in St John’s Wood is well known to many as the home of previous Chief Rabbis. But it is less well known, perhaps, as a place to enjoy green open space. However, a family home has come on to the market here that possesses a “secret gem” of a garden.
The spacious house is full of character and is laid out over four floors, with a comfortable and home-like atmosphere.
The established and secluded rear garden extends to 139ft and contains a sculpture entitled 2.5 Million Light Years, which the owners commissioned from Mariele Neudecker, an internationally esteemed German born artist, now living in Bristol.
Lee Koffman, head of north and north west London prime house and flat sales at UK Sotheby’s International Realty, says: “Hamilton Terrace is undoubtedly one of the premier roads in St John’s Wood — just 450 metres’ stroll from the vibrant high street with its fashionable boutiques, restaurants and cafés and only a stone’s throw from Abbey Road Studios and Regent’s Park.
“The 139ft-long garden is a real secret gem as it is very unusual to have so much outdoor space and privacy in such a central location. “Since the onset of the pandemic, and as a result of the various and prolonged lockdown measures, access to private outdoor space has become one of the most desirable amenities for buyers and — together with private parking and an integrated garage — this house really ticks a lot of boxes.”
The house comes with private parking and an integrated garage. It is priced at £10.5 million through UK Sotheby’s International Realty.
