Waterlow Court, Heath Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11

Waterlow Court is a unique and historically significant enclave of flats, designed in 1904 by renowned Arts and Crafts architect M.H. Baillie Scott. As his only multiple housing scheme in Hampstead Garden Suburb, this Grade II* Listed building stands as a remarkable example of early 20th-century social housing and design innovation. Completed in 1908, Waterlow Court was purpose-built as a communal residence for professional single women. Commissioned by the Improved Industrial Dwellings Company Ltd., under the chairmanship of Lord Sidney Waterlow, the building originally comprised 50 individual flats, each with 3 to 5 rooms. It also featured a communal dining room, a small Common Room, dedicated housekeeper's and servants’ quarters, and a central kitchen where meals were prepared for residents—an early example of co-living. This particular property is a charming, very bright, two-bedroom, first-floor flat. It offers a spacious lounge/diner, a generously sized kitchen, and a well-proportioned bathroom. The flat benefits from use of beautifully maintained communal gardens, enhancing the sense of community and tranquillity that defines Waterlow Court. The property is very well placed, close to both Golders Green Underground Station and The Heath Extension. With its rich history, distinctive architectural pedigree, and peaceful garden setting, this flat offers a rare opportunity to live in one of Hampstead Garden Suburb’s most characterful and historically resonant buildings.
