Chichele Road, NW2

Positioned within the ever-popular Chichele Mansions, this beautifully presented two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor of an imposing red-brick mansion block, blending period character with a clean, contemporary finish. From the moment you step inside, there’s an immediate sense of space and light, helped by the gorgeous high ceilings and large sash windows that give the whole home an airy, elevated feel.

The heart of the home is the open-plan reception and kitchen space, designed to actually work for day-to-day living as much as it does for hosting. Wooden floors run underfoot, adding warmth and continuity, while the layout flows naturally from cooking to dining to relaxing. The kitchen is sleek and well thought through, with ample storage, generous worktops and quality integrated appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, all centred around a sociable breakfast bar.

The principal bedroom is a proper double, calm and well-proportioned, with storage that keeps everything tucked away. The second bedroom is smaller but cleverly arranged to offer flexibility as a home office or guest bedroom with additional storage, without feeling boxy or compromised. It’s ideal for modern living, where that extra workspace is non-negotiable.

A contemporary bathroom completes the apartment, finished in a clean, timeless style. Throughout, the property has been maintained to a high standard, making it a straightforward move-in with nothing that needs immediate attention.

The layout itself is practical and well-balanced, spanning approximately 704 sq ft, with a generous open-plan living space (over 24 ft in length) and a clear separation between living and sleeping areas. Being on the first floor also means great natural light across all rooms, without sacrificing privacy.

One of the real advantages is the inclusion of secure off-street parking, adding a level of convenience that makes every day London living that bit easier.

Location-wise, you’re right in a sweet spot. Gladstone Park is just moments away, offering wide open green space, tennis courts and one of the best sunset spots in North West London. The hidden gem of The Dell is nearby too: a tucked-away garden that feels like a local secret. For coffee or a quick bite, you’ve got GAIL’s and Sanzio’s within easy reach, while West Hampstead and Mill Lane bring a broader mix of restaurants, delis and weekend hangouts.

Transport is equally straightforward, with Willesden Green (Jubilee Line) getting you into Central London in just over 10 minutes, alongside easy access to Cricklewood Thameslink and West Hampstead’s excellent connections.

This is one of those homes that just makes sense, it has a share of freehold with a 900 plus year lease and whether you’re buying your first place, looking for a smart London base, or investing in something well-located and easy to let. A solid mansion block, great ceiling height, proper proportions and parking… it ticks the boxes without trying too hard.
