Flat to rent in Haverstock Hill, Belsize Park, London NW3

This sprawling two-bedroom residence in Belsize Park presents a wonderful opportunity for city professionals. Boasting an atypically large private garden and a self-contained office extension at the back, this property is the ultimate convergence of modern convenience and domestic luxury.

The property is approached by a brick pathway that extends far from the main road to a private entry and slices through communal front gardens. It is a leafy and verdant oasis, where trees and shrubs offer privacy and seclusion, curating a miniature suburbia for the resident to detach from the hubbub of the surrounding area. Upon entry, the open-plan living and dining areas have been tastefully presented with modern decor. A simple monochromatic colour scheme flows throughout. It feels immediately refreshing, particularly with the abundant natural light pouring in from a large sash window system with bespoke white shutters. The space is further enhanced by an adjoining shallow mezzanine that, whilst currently equipped with wrap-around seating, could be repurposed for a dining suite. The kitchen is adjacent to the mezzanine and features all modern appliances, including a full-size dishwasher.

A small corridor separates the communal spaces at the front of the property from the bedrooms and office suite at the back. This is an expeditious way to control flow throughout the property, defining the living and working spaces as private and sacred. The bedrooms, both doubles, are spacious and bright. The primary bedroom comes replete with a wall of sliding wardrobes for storage. In fact, storage is inordinate and expansive throughout: Fitted inconspicuously into most walls and, in some cases, like the mezzanine, ensconcing the doorway to the kitchen. The piéce de resistànce is the rear office extension with its sumptuous skylights and bi-folding external doors in black matt that slide away to reveal the garden. Beginning with a patio area for simple seating and entertainment, an impressive platoon of tiled stairs rise onto a substantial lawn of no-fuss astroturf with landscaped trees and plants at either side and outdoor storage at the back. It is worth noting that, whilst presently established as an office and home workspace, the back room could also be repurposed as a summer room, additional living area or dressing room.
