Set within a handsome Victorian building on one of NW3’s most sought-after, tree-lined streets, this exceptional duplex penthouse occupies the upper floors of Chalcott Gardens, positioned perfectly between Primrose Hill and Belsize Park Village. Enjoying leafy garden views to the rear and held on a new 999-year lease with a share of freehold, the apartment extends to near 1,600 sq ft and offers a rare combination of volume, light and architectural design.

The sense of space is immediate. The principal living level is arranged around a dramatic double-height void, where striking ceiling heights and an abundance of natural light are amplified by AOV electric rooflights. A beautifully engineered staircase rises through this space and acts as a sculptural centrepiece in its own right, combining solid timber treads, glass balustrading and clean architectural lines to connect the home’s levels with real visual impact.

The reception, dining and kitchen space is conceived as a single, refined volume, grounded by solid wood flooring with a cross-sawn effect and framed by aluminium Crittall-style doors that enhance the loft-like feel. To the rear, large windows draw in green outlooks over surrounding gardens, reinforcing a sense of calm and privacy rarely found so centrally.

The kitchen is a standout, designed by Neil Lerner using Brandt cabinetry, with Siemens appliances, integrated hot water tap and carefully considered storage. It balances strong architectural presence with day-to-day practicality.

Bathrooms are finished in bespoke stone with a restrained, spa-like aesthetic, featuring elegant brassware and hotel-grade detailing. Bedrooms are well separated, each with bespoke fitted wardrobes, alongside a thoughtfully integrated, custom-designed office area.

Further highlights include underfloor heating and air conditioning throughout, video entry system, bespoke joinery and consistently impressive ceiling heights across both levels.

Chalcott Gardens is widely regarded as one of NW3’s premier addresses, moments from Primrose Hill, Belsize Park Village and excellent transport links. A genuinely rare penthouse offering in an outstanding location.
