⭕ Holly Mount. The very name evokes turfy slopes, trembling boughs and narrow lanes edged with moss. And you wouldnt be a million miles off. A cul-de-sac cottage in one of Hampsteads leafiest corners, this could be the sweetest home this side of the South Downs. But be prepared for a surprise. From the funky cushions to the fuchsia chaise loungue, the working fireplace to the walls wreathed in hummingbirds, this home blends the trad with the breathlessly modern. As for the garden, we defy you not to be delighted by the biggest surprise of them all: a bubbling hot tub. . .
