Fallowfield, London HA7 3DF

“A fine example of new-build architecture that celebrates peaceful views across the garden and neighbouring deer park."

Fallowfield is situated within a pocket of arresting design-led homes on the edge of the Bentley Priory Nature Reserve in Stanmore. This home spans some 4,746 sq ft, with high specifications at the forefront of the blueprint and diligently carried through four voluminous bedrooms and versatile living. The material and colour palette throughout is exceptional, with luxurious finishes and spaces shaped to soaring heights for maximal natural light. Peaceful views surround the house; in the rear, these extend across an adjacent deer park.

The Building

The house has been engineered for modern living, incorporating underfloor heating throughout, a Mitsubishi air-source heat pump and whole-house MVHR ventilation for exceptional comfort and energy efficiency. Its carefully curated palette of premium materials includes Swedish Kährs Coastal Oak flooring, Mandarin Stone porcelain, bespoke Lusso bathrooms and a Rotpunkt German kitchen featuring Siemens StudioLine appliances.

The Tour

The house is set back from the street on a quiet cul-de-sac and is distinguished by its broad frontage and striking contemporary interpretation of the traditional gabled form. Red brick, crisp white render and dark-framed glazing are combined externally, while expansive windows draw natural light inward. On the left is a private garage.

Inside, a double-height entrance hall epitomises the home’s approach to space and materiality. At its centre, an open staircase with pale oak treads, matching handrails and slender black metal balusters ascends to a first-floor landing, while full-height glazing at the far end amplifies the natural pigments of the materials. The oak floorboards extend underfoot, and a direct line of sight extends towards the rear terrace.

A refined atmosphere continues through to the adjacent rooms. The kitchen is beautifully composed with bespoke handleless cabinetry and fully integrated appliances. A waterfall island takes center stage and sits next to a softly textured and open-plan living-dining space.

Elsewhere, bright, versatile rooms are currently arranged on the ground and lower-ground floors as study and reception rooms with access to the terrace and to the rear garden. Another thoughtful element of the design provides a WC on each floor.

The central staircase ascends to a first-floor gallery, from which are accessed four bedrooms, including three with well-appointed en suites. In each room, soaring pitched ceilings amplify the sense of volume and a palette of neutral, soothing tones decorates the surfaces.

In the principal bedroom, a dramatic wall of glazing floods the room with natural light and full-height doors open directly onto a private terrace. Acute attention to the outdoors is visible throughout the bedrooms. A dressing room occupies the space between the bedroom and the en suite, itself finished with a walk-in shower enclosed by green tiling, brass fittings and large, grey floor tiles.

Another en suite incorporates a freestanding bathtub and floating vanity unit by Lusso fronting a fluted porcelain wall, while light and views constitute a central element of the design throughout.

Outdoor Space

The house provides a connection to the outdoors through a range of considered and mood-dependent spaces. A peaceful terraced garden at the rear has been laid to lawn, encircled by mature trees and accessed via a set of stone steps that descend from a paved terrace. South-facing, the garden is bathed in sunlight.

For a shady retreat, the terrace and first-floor balcony capture views over the surrounding greenery.

The Area

Fallowfield occupies a particularly restorative position in Stanmore, one of north-west London's sought-after residential enclaves. Defined by its tree-lined streets and generous footprints, the area balances a distinctly suburban character with easy access to central London.

Stanmore Broadway is a short distance away, providing an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Local favourites include Oak Caffe for coffee and brunch, Barracuda Stanmore for Mediterranean dishes, and Bistro 101 Stanmore and Eleven Restaurant & Events.

The surrounding area is particularly well regarded for its open green spaces. Nearby are Stanmore Country Park and Bentley Priory Nature Reserve, while the rolling countryside of Hertfordshire begins just beyond the northern edge of the borough.

A range of respected schools are close by, including Avanti House School/Primary School, Whitchurch Primary School & Nursery, and Bentley Wood High School. Independent options include North London Collegiate School.

Stanmore Underground station provides direct underground services to Baker Street, Westminster, Waterloo and Canary Wharf. There is convenient access to the M1, A41 and M25, placing central London, Heathrow Airport and the wider destinations within easy reach.
