Set on the top floor of Chartwell Court, one of Dollis Hill's most distinctive landmark buildings in NW2, this exceptional two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex apartment offers approximately 1,670 sq ft of beautifully refurbished accommodation, with spectacular double-height ceilings reaching approximately 5.6 metres, exposed architectural features, a versatile mezzanine level and two allocated parking spaces within a secure gated development with lift access.

In addition to the two generous double bedrooms, the apartment features an impressive mezzanine overlooking the main reception room. This flexible additional space can be used as a second living room, home office, creative studio or guest bedroom. The mezzanine benefits from all relevant permissions and Building Regulations approval, offering buyers peace of mind that the space is officially approved for use as a third bedroom.

From the moment you enter, there is an immediate sense that this is something special. The extraordinary ceiling heights, exposed joists, brickwork and industrial proportions create an atmosphere more reminiscent of a luxury Shoreditch warehouse conversion than a conventional Northwest London apartment.

Yet here, the dramatic architecture is complemented by far-reaching views across the greener landscape of Dollis Hill and NW2.

The spectacular open-plan kitchen, dining and reception room is undoubtedly the centrepiece of the home. Vast, dramatic and flooded with natural light, it offers exceptional proportions for entertaining, dining and relaxing, with plenty of room to create distinct living areas without compromising the wonderful sense of openness.

The mezzanine overlooks this impressive space, allowing the extraordinary volume of the room to be appreciated from both levels.

The apartment has undergone an extensive refurbishment, with considerable attention paid to both design and practicality. The contemporary fitted kitchen features high-quality integrated appliances, stylish finishes and generous preparation space, while cleverly incorporated storage throughout the property ensures the main living areas remain beautifully uncluttered.

Hidden vaulted areas, extensive eaves storage and thoughtfully designed cupboards provide an unusual amount of practical space for a London apartment, ideal for everything from suitcases and seasonal clothing to everyday household essentials.

There are two generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a high spec master en-suite, offering a practical layout alongside the architectural drama. Combined with the additional mezzanine, the apartment is particularly appealing to buyers looking for generous living accommodation with the flexibility to work from home, accommodate occasional guests or enjoy a separate relaxation space.

One of the property's most distinctive features is its exposed structure. Characterful joists, exposed brickwork, recessed lighting and industrial proportions create a wonderfully individual personality, while the exceptional ceiling height and panoramic outlook give the apartment a feeling of space rarely found in modern residential developments.

The apartment also benefits from a fully integrated bose sound system throughout, including waterproof speakers in both bathrooms. Easily connect your phone to enjoy your favourite music, creating a seamless audio experience throughout the home.

A Landmark Building with an Extraordinary History

Chartwell Court occupies part of the former Post Office Research Station at Dollis Hill, an important landmark in Britain's technological and telecommunications history.

The research station's permanent main building opened in 1933 and became one of the country's most significant centres for telecommunications innovation. During the Second World War, Tommy Flowers and his team developed the pioneering Colossus computer at Dollis Hill before it was deployed at Bletchley Park, playing an important role in Britain's wartime codebreaking efforts. In recognition of the building’s historical significance, Chartwell Court has been awarded a prestigious blue plaque by English Heritage.

The wider site also has connections to Winston Churchill and the Second World War. A secret alternative Cabinet War Room, known as Paddock, was constructed beneath part of the site and was used by Churchill during the war.

Today, this historic research building has been transformed into a distinctive residential development, retaining its imposing architecture and remarkable sense of history while offering the comforts of contemporary London living.

Residents benefit from lift access, communal gardens, bicycle storage and secure gated parking with CCTV. This particular apartment also enjoys the considerable advantage of two allocated parking spaces, an increasingly valuable feature for a property of this size in London.
