Open day Saturday 6th September
A beautifully styled three–double bedroom garden apartment, set within a distinguished 19th-century stucco-fronted conversion rich in period charm and local heritage. Originally part of the St. John's Wood villas built circa 1804–1830, the property enjoys a prestigious setting on a street world-renowned for its connection to Abbey Road Studios and the iconic Beatles album cover.
This characterful home also reflects the architectural legacy of South Hampstead. Thoughtfully designed as part of the Maryon Wilson estate's elegant Victorian expansion, the surrounding area is defined by wide leafy roads, stucco-fronted façades and refined period detailing, making it one of the most desirable and historically rich residential pockets of NW6.
Accessed via its own private front door, the apartment opens into a welcoming hallway which leads down to the heart of the home. The principal bedroom is positioned to the front of the property, a generous space bathed in light from two sash windows, with ample room for freestanding furniture. Its en suite bathroom has been thoughtfully styled to complement the age and character of the building, with a roll-top bath, brick tiling, and period-inspired fittings.
The second and third bedrooms continue the home's neutral and minimal aesthetic, creating calm and flexible spaces perfect for guests, working from home, or additional storage.
Further along the hall lies the main bathroom suite, once again finished in a refined, classic style, with a second roll-top bath, traditional wash basin, and low-level W.C., continuing the property's elegant and timeless design language.
At the rear of the home sits a formal living room that exudes character. A recently uncovered period fireplace, previously hidden beneath lime plaster, stands proudly as a centrepiece-believed to date back to the early 19th century, it brings a sense of history and authenticity to the room. From here, views stretch straight through to the beautifully landscaped garden, drawing the eye and blurring the boundaries between inside and out.
Natural light floods in through two sets of double French doors, opening onto a dining area that has been styled with care and intention. The adjoining semi-open plan kitchen completes the entertaining space, finished with classic shaker cabinetry, a Belfast sink, a brick tile splashback and a timeless wooden countertop, functional yet effortlessly stylish.
The private garden is the undisputed highlight of the property. Enclosed by mature foliage and thoughtfully planted borders, the full-width space has been laid with wooden decking, offering a serene backdrop for entertaining, relaxing or al fresco dining. It is a true urban oasis that feels far removed from the bustle of city life.
Set in the heart of South Hampstead, residents benefit from an exceptional range of local amenities including boutique cafés, independent restaurants, artisan bakeries, and everyday essentials, all within walking distance. West End Lane in West Hampstead and the vibrant Finchley Road are nearby, offering an array of additional options for shopping, dining and leisure. The O2 Centre with a cinema and major retail names is just around the corner, as are green spaces such as Fortune Green and Primrose Hill for weekend walks or morning runs.
Transport links are excellent. West Hampstead Underground (Jubilee Line), Overground, and Thameslink stations are all easily accessible (0.6m), providing swift connections to the City, Canary Wharf, and beyond. Swiss Cottage and Finchley Road Underground stations are also within reach, making the commute effortless whether by train or bus.
