Set within a handsome Edwardian semi-detached building on Platts Lane, this generous two-bedroom second-floor conversion offers spacious living close to Hampstead Heath. The flat benefits from high ceilings, period character, and a bright eat-in kitchen — ideal for buyers seeking classic charm with practical living space.
