Bright two-bedroom near Belsize Park tube and Primrose Hill amenities.
Large lateral apartment, 1,164 sq ft, top floor with lift access
This bright top-floor lateral apartment occupies 1,164 sq ft in a white stucco building close to Belsize Park station. Recently renovated throughout, it offers a large open-plan kitchen/reception with clever eaves storage, two double bedrooms, and two bathrooms — including a principal suite with built-in wardrobes and an en suite. Lift access and use of a communal garden add convenience and outside space, while a private garden provides additional greenery.
The apartment benefits from abundant natural light from roof windows and a fire-escape with far-reaching city views. Electric underfloor heating and double glazing provide a modern comfort level, and the very long lease (963 years) removes typical leasehold concerns. Local amenities, independent schools and transport links (Belsize Park 0.2 miles, Swiss Cottage 0.6 miles) make this a practical family or professional base in NW3.
Buyers should note a higher-than-average service charge (£5,544 p.a.) and relatively expensive council tax. The building dates from before 1900 and walls are assumed to have no added insulation; the glazing install date is unknown. Crime levels are reported above average for the area. These factors should be considered alongside the property’s recent refurbishment and central location.
Overall this is a spacious, characterful lateral apartment that combines period features with contemporary finishes. It will suit buyers seeking generous rooms, strong natural light and easy access to Belsize Village and Primrose Hill, while those sensitive to service costs or wanting guaranteed wall insulation may need to factor potential further works into their plans.
