Hilltop Road, West Hampstead, London, NW6

One bed, one garden, zero regrets

You’re looking for a garden flat with a little more personality than the usual one bedroom. Set on the ground floor of a handsome detached house, the apartment has a bright, welcoming feel, with a generous living room opening directly onto its own private walled patio. It’s a lovely extension of the living space and a rare pocket of calm that feels properly tucked away.

Inside, the layout is simple and well considered, with a separate kitchen, bathroom and comfortable double bedroom. The interiors offer plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on things, while the good proportions, natural light and direct connection to outside space give you all the right ingredients to create a home that feels distinctly yours.

And then there’s West Hampstead. West End Lane is close by for independent cafés, neighbourhood pubs, bakeries and restaurants, while the area’s excellent transport connections make getting across London remarkably easy. You get the energy and convenience of NW6 when you want it, then your own peaceful garden retreat to come home to.
