Located on the second floor of Fitzjohns House, this two-bedroom apartment offers a bright, south-facing reception and plenty of natural light — a comfortable central-London home in a sought-after Hampstead location. The layout (large reception, separate fitted kitchen, two double bedrooms) suits small families, professional sharers or buyers seeking a lettable pied-à-terre close to excellent transport links.
The building is a well-maintained, period red-brick block with lift access and kerb appeal on a tree-lined street. Practical features include double/secondary glazing and mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and nearby Jubilee, Metropolitan and Northern line stations make commuting straightforward.
Buyers should note material running costs: a high annual service charge (£5,692) and Council Tax Band F (expensive). The property is leasehold with c.93 years remaining — sufficient for many buyers but important for mortgage and resale considerations. The building’s solid brick construction likely has limited insulation, which may affect long-term energy efficiency and future retrofit potential.
Overall this is a well-proportioned, naturally bright apartment in one of NW3’s most desirable pockets. It will appeal to those who prioritise location, transport and period character, and who are comfortable with managed-block costs and leasehold ownership.
