Light-filled modern living meets village calm in this end-of-terrace home near Highgate Pond and Hampstead Heath. At 1,062 sq ft the layout is arranged over multiple levels with a double-height living space and vaulted skylights that make the reception room unusually bright and airy. The open-plan kitchen and dining area, built-in appliances and contemporary wood flooring create a clean, low-maintenance finish throughout the principal living spaces.
The principal bedroom overlooks the double-height living room and includes built-in storage; a second bedroom and a bathroom with a freestanding tub and separate shower complete the sleeping accommodation. Ground-floor utility, separate WC and a garage/storage room add practical space that suits a couple, small family or those working from home. Communal landscaped gardens and immediate access to Highgate ponds provide a rare blend of green views and outdoor leisure right on the doorstep.
Practical considerations: the house dates from the late 1960s/1970s and has cavity walls with no added insulation (assumed), plus double glazing installed before 2002 — improvements may be needed to maximise energy efficiency. Parking is secure but allocated on a first-come, first-served basis rather than a private space. Council tax is high and local crime levels are above average, which should be weighed against the area’s strong schooling and excellent broadband and mobile connectivity.
This property will suit buyers seeking stylish, low-maintenance living in a very affluent area with outstanding local schools and direct access to Hampstead Heath. It also offers sensible renovation potential for anyone wanting to improve thermal performance or personalise finishes to contemporary standards.
