Description
The estate's distinctive stepped design maximises natural light and provides private entrances to each flat via pedestrian walkways. Spanning approximately 527 square feet, the flat comprises a spacious living room with full-width windows that open onto a large, 'open-to-the-sky' balcony, drawing in views of the estate's tranquil surroundings and seamlessly extending the living space.
The kitchen, positioned to the rear, connects seamlessly to the dining area, creating a sociable and practical layout. The flat also features a generously sized double bedroom with a built-in wardrobe and a well-appointed bathroom, both accessed from a welcoming hallway complete with a large utility cabinet providing plenty of storage.
Some cosmetic updating is required, but this fantastic one-bedroom flat offers a blank canvas to make your own, with its bright interior, double-aspect views, and peaceful position within the estate, making it an excellent first-time buy.
There are underground garages beneath the estate.

HISTORY
The Whittington Estate, originally known as Highgate New Town Stage One, is a key example of Camden's golden era' of housing. Designed by Peter Tábori and Kenneth Adie between 1972 and 1979, the scheme was created under the leadership of borough architect Sydney Cook. It consists of rows of ziggurat-style buildings that step down the natural slope of the site, containing 275 dwellings ranging from one-bedroom flats to four-bedroom houses. The estate incorporates play areas, thoughtful landscaping, and pedestrian pathways between the long concrete blocks, creating safe, traffic-free spaces for children. Tábori and Camden's architects' department rejected the high-rise buildings favoured by councils in the post-war years. Instead, the estate features structures no taller than two and a half storeys, with every flat having its own entrance directly from the street and south-facing, 'open to the sky' balconies.
