Set over three floors and extending to about 1,750 sq ft, this detached 1960s townhouse offers practical family space close to Hampstead Village and Hampstead Heath. A long 29ft reception and a versatile layout provide room for living, working and play, while a private garden and garage add useful outdoor and storage options. Off-street parking and chain-free sale make occupation straightforward.
The property has genuine uplift potential: loft and rear extensions are possible subject to planning (STPP), so buyers seeking to increase space or value will find scope to modernise and reconfigure. The bright open-plan living room, large windows and balcony add contemporary appeal, while three floors allow separation of bedrooms and entertaining areas.
Buyers should note the house was built in the late 1960s/early 1970s and some running costs and improvements are likely. Cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, double-glazing install date is unknown, and the council tax band is high, which will affect ongoing bills. These factors mean a modest programme of insulation and updating should be factored into budgets.
Well placed for good local schools and everyday amenities, this home suits families who want room to grow near green space, or buyers looking to add value through sensitive extension and refurbishment. Flood risk is low and transport and digital connectivity are strong, making the house a practical base for city living with future upside.
