Occupying a wonderful position, a few minutes' walk fromHampstead Heath, is this beautiful Art Deco house,designed in 1934 . The house has been sensitivelyrenovated and extended in recent years, adding anadditional storey, while preserving its stream-lined Crittalglazing and distinctive Art Deco facade.
Garnett Road is a quiet residential street in Belsize Park, anarea most famous for the presence of two of Modernarchitecture's most distinctive buildings, namely the IsokonBuilding by Wells Coates and the Dunboyne Road estate byNeave Brown. This short terrace of Art Deco houses areless notorious, but no less beautiful in their typicallyunderstated manner; extensive sections of glazing andcurved ornamentation define their facades and bathe theirinteriors in natural light, while long gardens at the rearallow life to spill outside, breaking down the boundariesbetween inside and out.

The house is set back from the road, behind a walled frontgarden with mature trees and shrubs. The ground floor isslightly raised and is accessed via a beautiful Art Decoporch, with brick detailing, with an original curved porticoand lamp. The elegant curve of the house's bay windows,across two storeys are best appreciated from thisviewpoint.
Inside, the raised-ground floor is configured in an open-plancomprising a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen.There is herringbone parquet underfoot, built-in shelf spaceand reconditioned fireplace at the front of the plan. Thedining room is positioned towards the rear and open outvia Crittal doors onto a raised deck, looking out over thegarden below. A contemporary kitchen is located to oneside; it has oak cabinetry and black granite worktops.
The raised deck is south-facing and makes a wonderful spotfor early evening drinks, or al fresco dining in the warmermonths. A short staircase leads down to the lawn whichstretches to the foot of the garden, where the currentowners have built a tree-house for their children. Maturetrees and shrubs line the borders on either side.
The first floor comprises two double bedrooms, one singlebedroom, currently used as an offic, and a family bathroom.The largest bedroom, capitalises on the curve of the baywindow at the front of the plan and has built-in storagespace, as well as wardrobes. The bathroom has beautifultiles in keeping with the pastel-green palette of muchthirties Deco architecture. The second floor has a largedouble bedroom with en-suite shower room and significanteaves storage space.
In addition to the ample storage spaces across the threefloors, the current owner has pre-planning approval toconvert this lower-ground floor into a living space, alongwith an additional extension which incorporates the firstfloor and the current decked area of the garden. Thiswould add significantly to the square footage of the house.
