Rowley Way, North-west, London, NW8

Architecture & Interior

This is a rare two bedroom penthouse situated over the top two floors of the estate, with unobstructed views over Rowley Way, South Hampstead & Finchley. The natural light & sense of space in this maisonette is remarkable.

As you enter the property you immediately feel a sense of calm. The downstairs hallway leads onto two bedrooms, generous in the size they offer and featuring all the original built in wardrobes, sliding windows & doors.

Across the hallway there is a family bathroom, finished in white metro tiling and comprises?a?bathtub, overhead shower, separate toilet and a wash basin. There is also a spacious storage room just by the front door, a lovely bonus of these properties, which also houses a washing machine (there is plenty of room for a dryer as well).

Travelling upstairs, the top floor is where these penthouses come alive. It is a well-designed space with light pouring through from south facing floor-to-ceiling terrace doors, to north facing tall windows providing wonderful far reaching views of South Hampstead. The south facing view is over St. John's Wood, with summer villas & detached family homes, it means that the uninterrupted perspective will always be there. These properties really are tailored to proper living.

The living area is tucked neatly in front of these huge sliding terrace doors, which can be fully opened to embrace the outside. The terrace itself is substantial and not overlooked, but commands a view of the entire curvature of the estate, a true architect's touch.

To the rear of the living area, there is a natural flow to the dining area, with abundant space to fit a work area alongside a table, if so desired. The kitchen is discretely around the corner with authentic original cabinetry and appropriately placed appliances.
