Built in 1903 as the library for Westfield College, Edwardian Baroque-style Skeel Library has been immaculately restored and converted into a four bedroomed home with exceptional personality. Set within the leafy new Hampstead Manor enclave, Skeel Library announces itself onto sought-after Kidderpore Avenue, NW3 with a dramatic two storey canted bay window buttressed in red British brick.
Within, it’s been designed with convenience and modern living in mind, whilst still maintaining the integrity of such a rare piece of English history.From the strengthening and French polishing of the original oak bookshelves, to the repairing and resetting pane by pane of the vast floor-to-ceiling windows, every detail of the restoration of this Grade II Listed building has been minutely considered and brought to life once more for future generations to enjoy.
