1 bed flat for sale

Waterlow Court, Heath Close, Hampstead Garden Suburb NW11

Prestige & Village are delighted to offer Chain Fee, this charming one bedroom flat in an Arts and Crafts block in Hampstead Garden Suburb, opposite Hampstead Heath.
Covering 455 square feet on the second floor of the block, flat 8 is filled with light from windows on both sides.
It has a large reception area with a fully functional wood burning stove.
The floor is reclaimed pine, consistent with the Arts and Crafts style and runs through the reception and kitchen.
The en suite double bedroom includes a king sized bed and fitted wardrobe.
The bathroom is light and well sized. It is separate from the toilet, which has space for utility storage.

This beautiful apartment has been much loved and well looked after.

This is evident in details like the mid century Italian light shades, solid oak shelves, and hand turned oak light pulls in the bathroom.

Waterlow Court is 100m from Hampstead Heath extension, which runs up hill towards Hampstead and joins the Heath proper.
A hike or run around the perimeter of the Heath is around 13km on paths, with only five road crossings on the whole route.
The open air swimming ponds are a short cycle away, and cyclists heading into town can cut across the Heath for 5km of car free commuting.

The block is a ten minute walk from Golder's Green station on the Northern line, (there is a private shortcut through the back of the block), and the shops and restaurants nearby, including a Gail's opposite the station.

Within a kilometre are communal tennis courts, Big Wood, Lyttleton Playing Fields, and access to the Capital Ring Walk, which runs for 78 miles around London, mostly off road.

Heath Close has free parking for residents. A resident parking permit can be obtained for Hampstead Way.

Waterlow Court was built in 1909 to provide communal living for professional women.
Arts and Crafts architect mh Baillie Scott designed a cloistered courtyard with forty nine 1,2 and 3 bedroom apartments, arranged around a shared dining room and library.
Gardens around the courtyard provided space for games and gardening.
The dining room and library were gradually converted into flats but the gardens remain, as does some of the spirit of the original design, for example in the fruit and herbs grown for the use of all residents.

Once particularly lovely feature is the bicycle shed - one of the first purpose-built bike sheds in the country and one of very few to be a listed building in its own right.
