Elizabeth Mews, London, NW3

BRICKWORKS SAYS

Located down a pretty, cobbled mews and set on the first floor of a Victorian conversion, this one-bedroom flat arrives with all the historic detail you'd hope for. Period bones are very much intact; intricate cornicing, handsome picture rails and tall sash windows that draw in the light. These sit comfortably alongside more modern instincts — a sleek monochrome kitchen, built-in storage and neatly judged floating shelves in the living space.

The bedroom is tucked quietly to the rear, with a full-height wardrobe and the small luxury of remote-control blackout blinds for mornings when the world can wait. It’s a home that manages to be both elegant and easy, with everything where you want it and nothing shouting for attention.

The flat overlooks England’s Lane, which has that rare, village-like charm in London — cafés worth lingering in, genuinely good local shops and The Washington as your new local. Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill are both within an easy 15-minute wander when you need green space and a view. And there are three tube stations a short stroll away when the rest of London is required.

THE OWNER SAYS

This is a very special place; it has the confidence of a grand Parisian apartment, in the intimacy of Belsize Park. The light is something we'll really miss — there’s nothing better than a sunny day lounging on the daybed with the sun streaming in through the open doors of the Juliette balconies.

If you do want to leave this sanctuary, you've got easy access to the two best parks in London, public transport couldn't be easier, and you're a stone's throw from coffee shops and convenience stores. Plus, there’s a great pub around the corner. Literally everything you could need is on your doorstep.

We’ll be sad to leave this rare quiet corner of London, but know the next owners will be seduced by this home, and warmly welcomed by the lovely neighbours for the cheese and wine nights in the mews.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we strive to create true-to-life photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person, ask relevant questions and triple-check details. Brickworks takes our duty of care incredibly seriously and takes all reasonable steps to ensure all presented information is correct. However, we sometimes rely on the accuracy of the information provided to us by the seller and others. Also, please note that we often round up/down total floor plan measurements and/or use approximate distances.
