A £4 million Hampstead townhouse that was once home to the celebrated English landscape painter, John Constable RA, has come to market for the first time in over 30 years through Savills Hampstead.

Designed and built in the early 19th century, the Grade II* listed property is situated in Well Walk, one of Hampstead’s most sought-after streets, and is within 200m of Hampstead Heath. It wasn't Constable's first home in the area: he and his family spent every summer between 1819 and 1826 in the locality before they made the move permanently to Well Walk. Hampstead subsequently became a great focus for Constable's works and he made numerous studies of cloud formations and oil sketches here.

Having lived at the address for the past 30 years, the current owner is now seeking to downsize nearby and the sale of Well Walk thus presents a rare opportunity to reside in one of North London's most significant historical houses. But it isn't only its artistic connections that make it so special. 

The well-proportioned accommodation at five-storey Well Walk includes three reception rooms, four bedrooms and a garden, with scope for further enhancement. Further attractions include high ceilings and period features with double doors from the elegant first-floor drawing room leading out onto individual balconies overlooking the charming patio garden.    

The house, which was granted a Blue Plaque in 1923, enjoys an exceptional location in the heart of Hampstead Village, with easy access to ameneties, transport and great schools.

Add this to the prospect of living in the former home of one of the nation’s greatest ever artists, and the house is bound to have very broad appeal.
