This raised ground-floor two-bedroom apartment occupies a characterful period conversion between Belsize Park and Swiss Cottage, arranged with a principal front bedroom, a second double bedroom and bright living spaces. The semi open-plan kitchen flows through double doors to a generous living and dining room, which in turn opens into a conservatory overlooking the communal gardens — a calm, light-filled spot for relaxing or working from home.
Practical features include a fully tiled main bathroom, a separate cloakroom/utility area with plumbing for a washing machine, double glazing and gas central heating to radiators. At 789 sq ft, the layout provides good room proportions for family living or a comfortable long-term home, and the area benefits from excellent transport links (Swiss Cottage 0.2 miles) plus easy access to Primrose Hill and Hampstead Heath.
Tenure and running costs are important: the sale is a share-of-freehold with 88 years remaining on the lease (125 years from 22 Sept 1988). Service charge and building insurance are modest (service charge £199.40 pa; building insurance £591.54 pa), but ground rent currently £75 rising in future to £225 and council tax sits in Band F, which is relatively expensive.
This property will suit buyers wanting period character near green spaces and top schools, and those prepared to manage the practicalities of a sub-90-year lease. It offers immediate move-in condition with potential to update finishes over time, while its location and layout deliver strong everyday convenience.
