Kings Gardens, London

This splendid four-bedroom flat is nestled within an imposing mansion block, erected around the turn of the 20th century, in the verdant neighbourhood of West Hampstead. Encompassing approximately 1,910 sq ft, its interiors have been meticulously refurbished to echo their initial Edwardian majesty, while embodying a contemporary, sophisticated feel. The flat features an elongated balcony adjacent to its south-east-facing front façade, offering views of a charming communal garden. Situated conveniently close to the West Hampstead Underground and Overground stations, as well as a diverse range of boutique shops, art galleries and dining options, this property in Kings Gardens is truly an ideal abode.

Situated on the second floor of a purpose-built mansion block with a lift and resident porter, this apartment offers a dignified departure from typical townhouse living. The block, constructed during the advent of the Edwardian era, boasts a practical floor plan segregating entertainment and living spaces, appealing to a trendy and discerning clientele of the time. Amenities include a secure entrance and a communal garden. Further details can be found in the History section below.

The distinguishing features of this marvellous flat include its high ceilings and generous windows, providing an overwhelming sense of space and brightness. Beautiful oak parquet flooring adorns the home, along with reinstated cornicing, paying homage to its Edwardian heritage.

The heart of the flat is the reception room, bathed in light from three newly-installed sash windows, framing the lush greenery of the trees and gardens. The room's vibrant green wall finish, courtesy of Paper and Paints, amplifies the effect of the outdoor scenery. An authentic fireplace housing an open fire serves as the room's centrepiece.

Situated at the opposite end of the layout is the expansive kitchen, featuring custom wooden cabinetry atop sturdy quartz countertops. A gas hob with an oven is situated in the original fireplace, and a butler's sink with Devol fittings adds charm. The kitchen, painted a refreshing blue shade by Paper and Paints and adorned with tasteful tongue and groove paneling, can comfortably accommodate eight for dining. A separate utility room and pantry are adjacent.

The primary suite, located between the reception room and kitchen, houses a bedroom, a bathroom and a separate dressing room. The bedroom is enhanced by a beautiful bay window with newly installed cast-iron radiators underneath. The ensuite is decorated with handmade Moroccan tiles and includes a shower, vanity and WC, with a dressing room leading off.

Three additional bedrooms, all overlooking the tranquil communal garden, are located along the hallway. One has access to the balcony through a door set into its bay window, which extends to the main reception room.

Two additional bathrooms are included, one with a vintage roll-top, claw-foot bath and the other with a walk-in shower. All bathrooms are outfitted with high-quality Aston Matthews fittings and Pooky lighting fixtures.
