Moments from the open spaces of Hampstead Heath and the village's celebrated cafés, boutiques and restaurants, this exceptional three-bedroom penthouse occupies the upper floors of an elegant red brick period conversion on one of Hampstead's most desirable tree-lined streets. Comprehensively refurbished to an exacting standard, the apartment extends to approximately 2,301 sq ft and combines striking contemporary architecture with generous proportions, soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and an abundance of natural light throughout. The principal living accommodation occupies the upper floor, where a dramatic reception room unfolds beneath a magnificent vaulted roof rising to almost 10 ft. Skylights and large windows flood the space with light, while a bespoke library wall lends both architectural interest and practical storage. A glass balustrade separates the seating area from the staircase, preserving a sense of openness throughout. On the lower floor, the kitchen is centred around a substantial island and finished with contemporary cabinetry, integrated appliances and stone worktops. Exposed beams lend warmth and character to the contemporary design, creating an inviting space for cooking, dining and entertaining. A private terrace opens directly from the reception room, perfect for alfresco dining. The principal suite is understated, with extensive fitted wardrobes and a beautifully calm ensuite bathroom finished in natural stone. Two further double bedrooms are both generously proportioned, one currently arranged as a nursery with beams overhead, the other equally suited to use as a guest bedroom or study. A family bathroom with a freestanding bath and playful bespoke detailing is complemented by a further shower room, giving each bedroom excellent privacy and convenience. Adding to the rarity of the apartment is a private rear garden measuring approximately 50 ft in length, an unexpected expanse of lawn and mature hedging rarely found with a penthouse apartment. The property further benefits from air conditioning, underfloor heating, wood flooring throughout and on-street parking available. Heath Drive is one of Hampstead's most sought-after residential addresses, quietly positioned moments from the open green spaces of Hampstead Heath yet within easy reach of Hampstead High Street. Independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, excellent transport connections and outstanding schools combine to make this one of North West London's most enduringly desirable neighbourhoods.
