2 rooms house of 114m² in London

South Hampstead occupies a quietly coveted position in north London – close enough to Hampstead village to feel its pull, with a residential calm that the village itself can rarely offer. Canfield Gardens is one of its best addresses: a leafy street lined with handsome Victorian red-brick that feels a world away from the city.This first-floor apartment sits at the heart of it, meticulously renovated with the period features preserved: high ceilings, cornicing and a limestone fireplace. The reception room runs across the front of the building, wide sash windows drawing in light. It’s an easy space to settle in – the fireplace anchors one end, a large-format canvas adds colour and a layered lighting scheme allows it to shift seamlessly from day to night.The kitchen and dining room lies opposite – the social heart of the flat. Sleek white gloss cabinetry with quartz worktops and Siemens appliances keep the cooking side efficient and clean; the dining end earns its place with a Carrara marble table paired with a curved velvet booth. A separate study sits down the hall, where tall shuttered doors open to a private terrace. Dotted with planters and a small dining table, it’s perfectly set up to dine, drink or admire the streetscape.The principal bedroom takes a calming approach. A sculptural four-poster frame in black iron forms the centrepiece; bespoke floor-to-ceiling wardrobes ensure the space stays clutter free. Its en suite bathroom is simple but stylish, with a pink glass-block partition wall that separates the shower. A second bedroom in blush is styled with a chaise longue, plenty of light and its own relaxed character. It’s served by the family bathroom, which takes a hotel-style approach: large-format limestone tiles, Duravit sanitaryware, bespoke cabinetry in Farrow & Ball Brinjal and an oversized backlit mirror.LocationCanfield Gardens sits in the quiet pocket of South Hampstead between West Hampstead and Finchley Road, well connected but residential in feel. There’s a Waitrose within walking distance for easy grocery shopping, alongside a range of independent stores. Hampstead Village is just a 20 minute walk to stretch your legs, with championed local pubs, cafes and the Heath just beyond. There’s also proximity to London’s leading private schools, including Southbank International School, South Hampstead High School and Alleyn’s Hampstead.Finchley Road (7 mins)West Hampstead (5 mins)
