Quiet central West Hampstead 1‑bed with private terrace and excellent transport links.
562 sq ft one‑bed flat with south‑westerly private terrace
Light-filled, compact 1-bedroom apartment arranged over the upper floor of a purpose-built red-brick mews. With 562 sq ft of living space and a south‑westerly private terrace, the flat feels larger than its footprint thanks to a 17’7 reception and good built-in storage. A private entrance and quiet cobbled setting give the apartment a tucked-away, village-like feel in central West Hampstead.
The apartment is well located for transport: London Overground, Jubilee and Thameslink stations are all within a short walk, with shops, cafés and amenities on Finchley Road and West Hampstead close by. Practical running costs are partly bundled — the service charge (approx. £2,134.89 pa) includes heating, hot water and gas; ground rent is nominal (£10 pa). The lease has about 98–99 years remaining and the sale is chain free.
Important facts to note: the property has an EPC rating of E (53) with a potential of D (65), and the heating is provided via a community scheme. The balcony is small and views are urban rather than open or green. The broader area scores highly for professional services and amenities but records a very high crime level and local area deprivation; buyers should weigh location convenience against these factors.
This home suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well‑located, low‑maintenance central London flat with immediate access to transport and local life. It offers straightforward living and scope to improve energy performance over time, but expect modest external space, a higher service charge, and the realities of an inner‑city neighbourhood.
