Light-filled one-bedroom flat tucked to the rear of an Edwardian building on Frognal Lane. The generous reception room opens onto a private balcony with elevated views over well-kept communal gardens, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow for relaxing or entertaining. A southwest aspect brings good natural light through high ceilings and bay windows typical of the period.
Practical long-term ownership is supported by a share of freehold and an exceptionally long lease (966 years), plus an off-street visitors’ parking space. Hampstead Heath is under a mile away and Hampstead and Finchley Road stations are within easy walking distance, making this a well-connected choice for commuting or weekend escapes.
Buyers should note the building dates from the early 20th century: walls are likely solid brick with no built-in insulation, and the double glazing install date is unknown — improvements to thermal performance may be needed to reduce heating costs. Council tax is above average and broadband speeds are described as average, which may matter for home workers.
Overall, the flat suits a first-time buyer or someone downsizing who values period character, outside space and location, and who is comfortable investing a little in energy efficiency upgrades to personalise the home.
