Built in the early 1960s by the pioneering architect James Gowan for furniture designer Chaim Schreiber, Schreiber House remains one of London’s most significant examples of post-war modernism. Set on an elevated site overlooking Hampstead Heath, this Grade II-listed home balances architectural precision with an inviting sense of comfort, making it as liveable today as it was visionary when first conceived. Behind its striking façade of blue Staffordshire brick, the house opens to a breathtaking double-height reception and dining space flooded with natural light. Vast windows frame leafy views across the Heath, while soaring ceilings and carefully considered proportions create an atmosphere of calm grandeur. Original details are preserved throughout, from the bronze lighting and Muhuhu hardwood floors to the bespoke built-in furniture designed by Schreiber and built in his own workshops. The kitchen, sympathetically updated, combines glass and bronze cabinetry with a sleek, functional layout. A sculptural bronze staircase anchors the heart of the house, leading to a galleried library and upper-level bedrooms. The principal suite is generous, with an ensuite bathroom and dressing area, while three further bedrooms share beautifully detailed bathrooms, one with a steam shower. On the lower level, a guest bedroom, utility room and double garage add practicality, while the landscaped south-facing garden feels like a private extension of the Heath. It features mature planting, ferns and flowering borders. Secure gates open to off-street parking for several cars, including EV charging. At the corner of West Heath Road and Redington Road, Schreiber House sits just moments from Hampstead Village and the Underground station, with its cafés, delis and independent shops. Transport is close by; it is 0.8miles to Hampstead Underground (Northern Line) and just under a mile and half to Hampstead Heath overground line.

On one of Holland Park’s grandest avenues, an unusually generous plot offers the chance to create a contemporary villa of rare scale and significance. With full planning permission granted for complete demolition and redevelopment, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build an exceptional home on one of London’s most prestigious streets. At present, the site is occupied by a derelict Victorian villa that extends to around 7,341 square feet, set within gardens of a similar scale. The approved plans allow for a new double-fronted residence of over 11,000 sq. ft, designed by 23 Architecture + Interiors, with a traditional façade giving way to contemporary, light-filled interiors. Importantly, the scheme is VAT exempt, offering a practical advantage alongside the creative potential. The proposed design sets the stage for a house of extraordinary proportions. On the raised ground floor, a series of formal reception rooms would flow together, designed with high ceilings and an emphasis on light. At lower ground level, plans include a vast open-plan kitchen and dining area, anchored by a double-height library, the heart of the home. Upper floors would allow for a series of bedrooms, including a grand principal suite with dual dressing rooms and bathrooms. Children’s bedrooms and guest suites are thoughtfully incorporated, while the basement level introduces leisure and wellness facilities on a scale rarely seen in central London. Here, a swimming pool, gym, spa and games room sit alongside staff accommodation, plant rooms and ancillary spaces, creating a self-contained retreat beneath the main house. In all, the scheme allows for approximately 11,081 square feet of internal accommodation, with landscaped gardens of over 8,000 square feet. The gardens themselves are unusually generous for Holland Park, with scope for sweeping lawns, planted borders and the addition of a summer house. A gated front drive provides off-street parking, ensuring privacy and convenience. Addison Road is one of West London’s most celebrated addresses. Lined with grand detached villas set behind sweeping drives, it has long been associated with artistic heritage. In the nineteenth century, the area was home to a thriving bohemian community, including Lord Leighton, whose nearby house and studio are now one of London’s most atmospheric small museums. The green expanse of Holland Park is moments away, offering formal gardens, woodland walks, tennis courts and even an open-air opera stage in summer. To the south, Kensington High Street provides flagship shops, international restaurants and a lively café culture. Transport connections are equally convenient, with Kensington Olympia a short walk away and both the Central and District lines within easy reach.

Built in 2011 for the current owners, the architecture is deliberately pared back, allowing proportion, light and materials to take precedence. The result is a house that feels composed and practical, with each part carefully considered in relation to the whole. The plan is organised around the courtyard, which sits at the centre of the house and is visible from most of the principal rooms. Full-height glazing runs along its edges, drawing natural light deep into the interior and creating a consistent outlook throughout. It also gives the house a sense of privacy, with views directed inward as much as outward towards the gardens. The main living spaces are arranged across the ground floor, where scale and ceiling height are used to strong effect. The kitchen, dining and family room forms a single, open-plan space with a generous footprint, designed to accommodate both daily life and larger gatherings. Wide glazed doors open directly onto the terrace and garden, while the vaulted ceiling above introduces height without disrupting the overall simplicity of the architecture. Finishes are clean and understated, allowing the space to feel open rather than overworked. Alongside, the drawing room provides a more contained setting, positioned to overlook the courtyard and benefiting from the same considered proportions. It offers a natural alternative to the open-plan living area, whether for quieter evenings or more formal use. The bedroom accommodation is arranged across the main house, with five bedrooms in total. The principal suite is well proportioned, with a dressing room and en suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms are also en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a family bathroom and separate shower room. The layout is straightforward and functional, with a clear distinction between shared and private areas. A study is also positioned on the ground floor, providing a dedicated workspace. A substantial lower ground floor extends the versatility of the house. Here, a large games room or studio offers space that could be adapted for a range of uses, from leisure to work or fitness. Alongside sits a self-contained staff or guest flat, with its own access, allowing it to operate independently from the main house when required. A laundry room, plant room and additional storage are also located on this level, supporting the day-to-day running of the house without impacting the main living areas. The house sits within grounds of approximately one acre. A broad lawn extends out from the house, bordered by mature planting that softens the clean lines of the architecture. The setting feels established and private, with the property backing directly onto the Wentworth Golf Course. The clubhouse lies within easy reach, placing the house within one of the estate’s most established and well-regarded pockets. The Wentworth Estate remains one of Surrey’s most enduring residential settings, known for its wide, tree-lined avenues and a sense of space that is increasingly hard to find so close to London. Virginia Water itself centres around the lake and its surrounding parkland, with Windsor Great Park just beyond, offering miles of open landscape. Day-to-day amenities are close at hand in the village, while more extensive shopping and dining can be found in nearby Ascot and Windsor. Rail connections from Virginia Water provide a direct route into London Waterloo, making it a practical base as well as a distinctly green one.

This contemporary country house is all about light, landscape and clean architectural lines. Set within approximately 4.3 acres of private grounds, it was conceived as a series of flowing white spaces framed by glass, where every room opens to the garden and far-reaching views form a moving backdrop to daily life. The entrance hall makes a statement from the start, with a bespoke staircase forming a striking architectural centrepiece. Beyond, the ground floor unfolds into a vast open-plan kitchen, dining and family area featuring a walk-in fridge, Miele appliances and expansive sliding doors leading to the terrace and gardens. Thassos white marble has been laid throughout this level (except the cinema room), creating a cool, seamless sense of luxury. On this floor are a study, cinema room, guest suite, boot room, powder room and a games room/gym, complete with its own ensuite bathroom and sauna. Upstairs are four bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom. The principal bedroom is particularly special, with two ensuite bathrooms, twin dressing areas and a private balcony overlooking the gardens. A second study is also arranged upstairs, offering a peaceful workspace away from the main living areas. Smart home technology runs throughout, including an RTI control system, Lutron blinds, Legrand lighting, underfloor heating, air conditioning, PV solar panels and a whole-house music system. The separate gardener’s cottage is self-contained, with its own kitchen, dining and reception space opening onto a patio, together with two further bedrooms, a utility room and bathroom – perfect for guests or extended family. Outside, the landscaped grounds are as impressive as the house itself: a walled garden, pond, orchard and sweeping lawns bordered by trees, all approached via a secure gated driveway. For car enthusiasts and collectors, there is garaging for up to nine vehicles. The house is surrounded by open countryside yet close to excellent transport links. There are regular trains to London Waterloo from nearby stations, while the M25 and Heathrow Airport are within easy reach. The area is renowned for its outstanding schools, world-class golf clubs such as Wentworth and Queenwood, and proximity to Ascot Racecourse, making it one of Surrey’s most desirable addresses.

Set on a quiet street in North Kensington, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom house with an additional guest restroom carries an unusual story. Built in the Victorian era as a cattle shed, it was converted in the late 1990s and has since been shaped with care over two decades by its artist owners. What was once a working building has become a home defined by light, scale and bold architecture. Theo Otten of Otten Partners Architects led the transformation, approaching the structure almost as a piece of sculpture. Double-and triple-height spaces open up the interior, soaring to over 30ft and linked by glass-sided walkways and steel-framed Crittall doors. Original timber trusses are lit like artworks by discreet ERCO lighting, while polished concrete floors and a vaulted skylight draw the eye upwards. The mood is part industrial, part contemporary gallery: clean lines softened by dark, textured finishes. The ground floor centres on a pared-back kitchen, its white surfaces a counterpoint to the vast living and dining space beyond. Here, daylight falls from above, shifting through the day, while a matt-black snug offers a smaller, more private corner. Upstairs, two calm ensuite bedrooms bring warmth with oak floors and soft grey tones. A third bedroom sits at the top of the house, alongside a generous newly built roof terrace, which has planning permission but currently no direct access; however, an easy access solution could be created. Hewer Street has always had a creative undercurrent. Once home to dairies and a post office, it has gradually become a cluster of studios and distinctive houses, each shaped by its industrial roots. This former dairy sits quietly within that story, carrying the marks of its past while standing firmly in the present. A few minutes away, Golborne and Portobello Roads bring a different kind of energy – antique markets, small cafés, restaurants that draw people from across the city. The Grand Union Canal and Kensal Green Cemetery offer long, tree-lined walks, while North Kensington as a whole balances neighbourhood life with a spirit of independence and artistry.

The front door opens into a welcoming hallway with a storage cupboard, cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. Just inside the door is a study that is ideally positioned for anyone working from home as it provides easy access to business visitors while opposite is a sophisticated bespoke library designed by Clive Christian that could also make an excellent dining room for more formal occasions. There is an elegant and bright dual aspect sitting room featuring full height windows and a cast iron fireplace as an attractive focal point, while the dual aspect family room has French doors to the terrace and is just the place to relax or enjoy a game with the children.

The charming and secluded rear garden includes a terrace for al fresco dining and a particularly large lawn ideal for a game of cricket or football. This is interspersed and surrounded by trees and shrubs and backs onto farmland. What the Owner says: 'We bought this property from new some 30 years ago as we loved this particular house and also the surroundings which, were designed to reflect the character of a traditional English village, with individually styled homes arranged around landscaped greens and communal spaces, creating a unique and established setting. Also, as it is in a cul-de-sac and a gated community, it is very secure, as well as being safe for children and pets. The security aspect has been particularly important as we are often away so it can be of benefit to those with a lock-up-and-go lifestyle. It is also great to be so close to the 6000 acres of Epping Forest where we can go for walks or cycle rides and feel we are in the country, yet we are not far from the centre of the town. Loughton is a charming town with plenty of pubs, restaurants and independent shops as well as sports and entertainment including golf courses and the Loughton Leisure Centre with an indoor swimming pool. There is a wide selection of schools in the area including Hereward Primary and Debden Park High School, both rated Outstanding by Ofsted, as well as good independent schools. The town is on the Underground's Central Line that can whisk you to Stratford in 20 minutes and Liverpool Street in about half an hour, so is ideal for commuters wanting to travel to the City or the West End. As far as road travel is concerned it is only a short distance to the M11 for the M25 as well as access to Stansted, Heathrow and Cambridge.'

This is a home designed not simply to impress visually, but to enhance day-to-day living through intelligent design, technology and connection with its environment. Market Trends - The premium market within Keston Park continues to benefit from sustained demand driven by security, plot sizes, architectural individuality and fast London connectivity. As buyer priorities increasingly focus on privacy, wellness, flexible accommodation and energy-conscious design, architect-designed homes of this calibre remain exceptionally scarce. Properties combining secure gated living, contemporary architecture and proximity to Central London continue to attract domestic and international buyers alike, particularly within the upper tiers of the South East market. Sylvan Glade's architectural provenance, television recognition and advanced construction technology position it as one of the area's most distinctive modern residences.

Background Boath House has a distinguished and atmospheric past that perfectly complements its graceful architecture. Standing on a site once occupied by “the great stone house” recorded in the era of Mary Queen of Scots, it is widely regarded as one of Scotland’s loveliest Regency country houses, designed by celebrated Aberdeen architect Archibald Simpson, whose portrait still hangs in the interior. The surrounding landscape has witnessed moments of real historical drama. In 1645, during the turbulent covenanting wars, part of Montrose’s Royalist army is believed to have assembled on the rising ground in front of the present house as they awaited the opposing forces led by the Duke of Argyll. At that time, a tower dating from the midsixteenth century stood here, and local tradition holds that soldiers camped on land now just beyond the lower edge of the walled garden. Created for Sir James Dunbar, Boath House remained in the Dunbar family for generations, right up until the early twentieth century. Thereafter, it passed through several owners and, by the early 1990s, had sadly slipped into serious disrepair. It was then that Don and Wendy acquired the property and embarked on an extensive, sensitive restoration, carefully reviving the house and reinstating much of its original elegance and charm. The estate’s historic character is echoed in its surviving features. A period dovecote linked to the old house still stands in the nearby village of Auldearn and is now preserved under the care of the National Trust for Scotland. The walled garden, informed by historical research into its original layout, has been thoughtfully replanted in the spirit of a traditional kitchen garden and once again supplies the house with fresh herbs and vegetables, honouring the self-sufficient traditions of earlier centuries. Description The main house is arranged over three floors and offers generous, versatile accommodation. On the ground floor there are 5 reception rooms, currently set up as a dining room, a bar area, a reception lounge and a two further more intimate reception areas. There is also a professional kitchen on this floor. Upstairs are five beautifully appointed bedroom suites and extensive ancillary space. In its most recent guise, the house has successfully operated as a luxury boutique guest house with an acclaimed restaurant, demonstrating clear potential for future use as an intimate hotel, exclusiveuse venue or refined private residence. The basement area has two further bedrooms and a number of further rooms which could be adapted to be used as a spa area or home cinema. For over two decades, significant investment and sensitive restoration have transformed Boath House from a nearderelict building into an exceptionally wellpresented property. Its scale, setting and layout mean it could be enjoyed either as an outstanding private country home or as a distinctive boutique hotel or hospitality venture, giving an incoming owner valuable flexibility over future use. Cottages & The Café Within the grounds, two stylish cottages, the four hundred year old Apple Cottage and Meikle Cottage, provide additional flexible accommodation, suitable for guests, staff or extended family. The house is framed by mature, landscaped gardens, and the historic walled garden has previously accommodated a café and shop, offering potential buyers the opportunity to reestablish a destination element if desired. The wider estate includes an orchard, productive kitchen garden, ornamental pond, bog garden, sauna and areas of established woodland, creating a classic country setting with a strong sense of privacy. Location Boath House enjoys an idyllic setting on the beautiful Moray Firth coastline, just a few minutes’ drive east of the popular seaside town of Nairn and within easy reach of Inverness Airport. Surrounded by picturesque Highland scenery, it offers an appealing blend of peaceful country living and excellent accessibility for both local and longdistance travel. Nairn is a vibrant coastal town, long favoured as a holiday destination thanks to its golden beaches, charming harbour and welcoming atmosphere. The town provides an excellent selection of amenities, including independent shops, an art gallery, two museums, cafes and restaurants, alongside a sports centre, swimming pool, cricket pitch, tennis club and riding facilities. The harbour and marina form a lively focal point, with a small fishing fleet, sailing club and moored leisure craft reinforcing the town’s strong maritime character. Education is well catered for, with local primary and secondary schools, and the renowned Gordonstoun School situated around half an hour’s drive away. The Highland capital of Inverness, approximately 18 miles from Boath House, offers a full range of city facilities, including major supermarkets, retail parks, cultural venues and comprehensive medical services. Inverness also benefits from a mainline railway station with regular services to Aberdeen, Perth and Edinburgh, as well as a sleeper service to London, while Inverness Airport provides frequent flights to London, Bristol, Manchester, Birmingham and a number of other UK and European destinations.
