About this property

Lovely, spacious home with huge rear garden

This is a gorgeous, spacious, well-appointed, warm and welcoming contemporary house in an affluent north London suburb, sitting on a very quiet road directly opposite a nature reserve.

We’re delighted to have hosted TV & film celebrities, sports-people, families welcoming their first-born child into the world (the most heart-warming stay to date!) along with scores of families, business people, individuals and groups from all over the world.

And now you can enjoy it too.

The space
--------------
The home is a bright and airy detached house offering 2,000 square-foot (200 sq m) of internal living space over two floors.

All the bedrooms are large, with three of them having king beds (one – the master bed – is a super-king) whilst the fourth bedroom has a double bed. There’s also a double sofa-bed in the second living room which means there’s a total of five separate sleeping spaces.

The master bedroom also features a separate dressing area featuring multiple built-in wardrobes.

Two of the bedrooms – the master bed upstairs and the downstairs bedroom - have ensuites. There’s also a separate family shower room upstairs and a guest WC downstairs.

The downstairs bedroom can be handy for less mobile people or people who don’t want to be walking up the stairs. Please note that the ensuite for this bedroom has a bath with shower attachment rather than a shower cubicle. Both showers are upstairs.

There are two separate living spaces that can either be closed off via bi-fold doors or opened up to provide one huge through-lounge and dining area that’s around 36 feet (12m) long.

The large gourmet kitchen-breakfast room has underfloor heating, a walk-in pantry, solid granite work surfaces and European appliances including an induction hob.

Both upstairs bathrooms have underfloor heating.

Outside, there’s a private, secure, fully-fenced 180' (55m) rear garden for you to enjoy.

Finishes and furnishings are all to a high standard yet the place still has a very homely and welcoming feel. 20mm solid oak floors, granite worktops in the kitchen and ensuite bathroom, natural stone surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms, 400 thread count 100% Egyptian cotton bed linen and many other features all add together to make the house feel solid, calm, comfortable and overall, a very welcoming home away from home, whether you're staying for a holiday, for business or anything else.

There's also a travel crib and mattress available for those families travelling with an infant.


Guest access
------------------
You'll have full use of the entire house.


Other things to note
-----------------------------
Parking at the property is easy. There's space for two cars in the driveway and additional free parking available on the quiet street in front of the property.

Finally, a short note to guests coming over from North America and other overseas destinations: it's been our pleasure to open the home to overseas visitors and we know that your flights quite often arrive really early. The last thing you want to do is be hanging around waiting for a mid-afternoon check-in so whenever possible, we let you check into the place earlier. Touch base shortly before your arrival so we can confirm that we can do that for your trip.

A gem of a place! LOVED IT!

This was the perfect setting for me to hub myself in while I was over visiting family and friends. The space was more than ample and I felt very at home immediately. I would definitely come back!

Great place for a suburban London stay

House is large, clean and nicely renovated. Plenty of room for our family of 6 with large bedrooms and comfy beds. Neighbourhood is great and very quiet with a high Street about 15 min walk. Host is great and very communicative and prompt. First class stay, we were all very happy.

Just a lovely home

Let me start off by saying Phil was the perfect host from start to finish. The home is beautiful, very roomy, comfortable beds, well equipped and is in a quiet neighborhood, not far from the rail station. We did rent a car which made it easier to get around, especially the country, but on the days we went to London we took the 5-8 minute drive to the rail station and parked at the station taking the tube/train into London - a short ride.

The best place to stay in North London

This was the perfect place for our family during our recent trip for a family wedding. The home was big enough to house my husband and me, and our three adult children. A large well-appointed kitchen was perfect for simple meals and warming catered foods. The living room was perfect for laughing, playing chess, and watching a movie together. The back garden is amazing, peaceful and private; and we enjoyed hosting an outdoor family meal there, or just sitting and watching the fox and squirrels, and listening to the music of the birds. Great location in a beautiful neighborhood.

summer break

the property was overall well presented . Garden could possibly need more attention and especially weeds in the driveway giving the first appearance a bit if a let down . The kitchen could be more well equipped with general food preparation items and serving dishes for entertaining etc. The house was quiet and in a very central location to parks and shops and restaurants . Phil was great in answering any question that came up. Upstairs bedrooms very hot in height of the summer but the master bedroom had an aircon which did help .

About the host

Hosted by Phil Herbert

Host profile image
Hi there.

I was born in New Zealand, schooled in Wales and then went to uni in the Midlands before traveling a bit (OK, quite a lot!) and then getting stuck into work, living in London for 25+ years. I've moved away from London these days but still visit fairly often.

As a keen outdoors enthusiast and proud father of a very active 7-year old, being outside and active is part of good living - part of the reason I bought this property is because I loved the easy access to the park straight across the road. I literally would get home from work, stick on the running gear and dash through the gate into the park for a head-cleansing run!

Along with millions of others, I love the classic combo of good company, good food, good music and a decent wine.

Why they chose this property

Loved the feeling of space and calm that the place had - and still has. Big garden at the back, open green spaces to the front and a nice, light, airy interior all make you feel like you've got space, and privacy.

Hadley Wood has a cute village-like feel whilst still having easy access to shops, parks and a 30-minute train/tube ride into the heart of London.
