Flat for sale in Maresfield Gardens, Hampstead NW3

An exceptional apartment by architectural designers, pinzauer.

A Victorian villa on Hampstead’s Coveted Maresfield Gardens is The setting of this exceptional apartment, one of six beautiful Homes. This particular apartment unfurls over almost 1,700 sq ft, with two large bedrooms and an enormous south-facing terrace. It combines a rich palette of materials with unfaltering attention to detail, brilliantly considered spatial design and sublime injections of light throughout.

The development lies within the Fitzjohn’s and Netherhall Conservation Area and is situated next to and overlooking the 1960s-era St Thomas More Church. The building itself was built c.1870 as a large detached house on an unusually broad plot. The façade follows the model found in the grand villas of Fitzjohn’s Avenue, with a projecting square bay and the red brick characteristic of the area.

The building is approached from Maresfield Gardens and is set far back from the quiet residential street, behind a front garden of Corten-framed beds and exquisite planting. Steps ascend to the raised ground foyer of the communal entrance.

From the dining area in the main reception, glazed double doors open onto the paved terrace, which benefits from uninterrupted southern and westerly aspects. A perimeter of box hedging enhances the already existing privacy, and views across to the high-level glazing of St Thomas More church can be enjoyed.

Maresfield Gardens is a quiet residential street, well situated for access to the shops, restaurants and Underground station in Hampstead Village, as well as the open spaces of Hampstead Heath. The shops and cafes on England’s Lane are within easy reach, as are the delights of Primrose Hill and the beautiful Regent’s Park to the south.

Many of London’s best independent schools are within a short walk of the house, including the Hall, St Antony’s, South Hampstead, St Christopher’s, Trevor Roberts and Sarum Hall. Within five minutes’ walk are Finchley Road station.
