Set over the top two floors of a Victorian terrace, this split-level three-bedroom apartment offers bright living spaces and period proportions ideal for family life. High ceilings, wooden floors and large sash windows create an airy feel, while a private south-facing balcony brings sun and outdoor space to the upper floor. The flat has its own front door and is one of just two apartments in the building, giving a townhouse-like feel.
Practical features include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas boiler and radiators, and a long share of freehold with c.960 years remaining — providing long-term tenure certainty. At 998 sq ft the layout provides three well-proportioned bedrooms and a separate kitchen, making it suitable for families or professional sharers who value proximity to green space and good schools.
Location is a major draw: directly opposite Parliament Hill and Hampstead Heath for daily outdoor access, and under 0.3 miles to Gospel Oak Overground with Kentish Town Underground/Thameslink within convenient reach. Local independent shops, cafés and amenities are on your doorstep, and several well-rated primary and secondary schools are within walking distance.
Notable negatives are presented plainly: the property has a single bathroom which may be limiting for larger households, and the building’s solid brick walls are assumed to have no insulation (typical of pre-1900 construction), which may mean higher heating costs or future retrofit work. Crime levels in the area are recorded as high; prospective buyers should factor this into security and insurance considerations.
