Tucked into a historic Hampstead enclave, this detached one-bedroom house blends genuine period character with practical, compact living across three floors. The property occupies a prominent corner position overlooking cobbled Holly Bush Steps and Heath Street, offering a south-facing balcony and pleasant outlooks within moments of Hampstead Underground and the Village amenities.
Inside, exposed beams, a brick fireplace and wooden floors create an appealing rustic atmosphere. The layout is flexible: ground-floor open-plan kitchen/dining with reception and fireplace, a first-floor reception that could serve as a study or guest room with a plated shower outlet, and a second-floor bedroom with en-suite—ideal for a couple or downsizer seeking a village feel with separate living spaces.
There are important practical notes to consider. The building is of solid brick construction and likely lacks cavity insulation, and council tax is above average. The area records higher crime levels than average, and the property will require ongoing maintenance typical of a pre-1900 home. These factors are reflected in running costs and potential retrofit work.
For buyers who prioritise location and character—walking distance to Hampstead Heath, independent schools and boutique shops—this freehold home offers a rare, compact pied-à-terre or a long-term low-maintenance base with scope to modernise services and insulation. Its generous overall size and corner plot provide potential to reconfigure or improve energy performance subject to listed/period constraints.
