Holly Mount Dream Home Savills

Historically significant, this beautiful home is a beautiful example of Georgian elegance Nestled in the quaint heart of Hampstead’s old village, this enchanting Grade II listed townhouse captures the essence of Georgian elegance and charm. Holly Mount, where the property is situated, boasts a rich history that stretches back to the 18th century, contributing to the area’s distinct period allure.

The architecture of this freehold house is a testament to the unique Georgian back-to-back terracing style, a rarity that enhances its historical significance. Spread across five floors, the house offers a graceful blend of old-world charm and modern living. The lower ground floor houses a spacious kitchen and dining room, perfect for both family meals and entertaining guests, while the main entrance opens into a welcoming reception room, leading visitors into the beating heart of this historic home.

Ascending to the first floor reveals a beautifully appointed bedroom and a family bathroom, followed by a charming reception room and a spacious principal bedroom on the uppermost floors. Each space in the house is imbued with character, from exposed wooden beams to classic Georgian windows, which frame stunning views of the surrounding village and beyond.
