West Hill Court, Millfield Lane, Camden, London

Offered for sale for the first time in nearly 20 years, this exceptional two-bedroom apartment occupies a wonderfully positioned first-floor setting within West Hill Court, one of Highgate’s most admired Art Deco developments.

The centrepiece of the home is its magnificent reception and dining room. Extending to almost 27 feet, this beautifully proportioned space is flooded with natural light through a series of striking double-glazed framed windows. At its heart is a spectacular period Art Deco fireplace — an increasingly rare original feature that gives the room enormous character and provides a natural focal point.

Doors open directly onto a remarkable west-facing balcony overlooking the development’s glorious communal gardens. Generous enough for outdoor seating and stretching along the principal living space, it feels almost suspended among the surrounding mature trees. It is a wonderfully peaceful place to sit, entertain or enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
The separate kitchen is well proportioned and has the additional benefit of its own east-facing secondary balcony. There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both enjoying leafy outlooks through wide framed windows, together with a bathroom and excellent built-in storage.

Extending to approximately 954 sq ft, the apartment offers the generous proportions and lateral layout for which West Hill Court is so highly regarded. Its first-floor position is another real advantage, combining elevated garden views with exceptionally convenient access. The communal gardens can be reached directly from within the building, making them feel like a genuine extension of the home.

West Hill Court is a landmark 1930s development surrounded by beautifully maintained landscaped grounds. Residents enjoy extensive communal gardens, tennis and squash courts, plus a range of shared leisure facilities. The development is just a few minutes’ walk from Hampstead Heath and Swain’s Lane’s renowned independent shops and cafés, while the north London villages of Highgate, Hampstead and Crouch End are all within easy reach.

After almost two decades in the same ownership, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a genuinely special apartment combining architectural character, wonderful proportions and one of the finest balcony outlooks within the development.
