Set across the top floors of a handsome Victorian terrace on a quiet tree-lined street, this split-level two-bedroom apartment offers bright, practical living in central West Hampstead. At about 855 sq ft it feels spacious for the area, with far-reaching views, a separate fitted kitchen and a principal bedroom with fitted wardrobes—suitable for a couple or small family.
The property is chain free and sold as a share of freehold, which can appeal to buyers wanting greater control over running costs and long-term management. Transport links (Jubilee, Overground, Thameslink) are within a short walk (around 0.4 miles), while local shops, cafés and supermarkets on West End Lane and Mill Lane are nearby. Several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are also within easy reach.
Practical points: the apartment is in a period mid-terrace dating from 1900–1929 with solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), double glazing fitted post-2002, mains gas boiler and radiators. There is useful eaves storage but limited headroom and the layout is multi-story, so consider stair access for mobility-limited buyers. Council tax is above average for the borough.
This home suits buyers seeking characterful, well-located accommodation with scope to personalise rather than a turnkey renovation. It offers good long-term potential in a very affluent, low-crime neighbourhood, but buyers should factor in possible insulation and modernisation works if energy efficiency is a priority.
