Hampstead haven - 2BR 2BA - private deck & 425sqm garden, gated parking

"UT's" is a spectacular apartment nestled in one of Hampstead's premier and ambassadorial roads, just 10 minutes from Hampstead Village. Spacious rooms, a huge garden, EV charging and gated off-street parking make UT's a rare find in London.

UTs location is the best of both worlds - a haven in the hub of city life. Stepping into UT's you could easily forget you're in central London. The city buzz is a mere whisper away and cosmopolitan Hampstead is on your doorstep. Yet UTs setting gives complete peace and privacy, with views that are distinctly countryside like.

Superbly served by local transport links, it's a short distance from 15 minutes to an hour to get to most of the iconic and historical London sights, Soho, Brick Lane, Portobello, the City, Shoreditch, theatre land and the Thames. We like to think of us as sitting at the top of a triangle almost equidistant to all our favourite places with the Heath right behind us.

Hampstead locals' gentility has attracted a host of celebrity long term residents able to go about day-to-day life without being overly bothered. So don't be surprised if you turn a corner to bump into a face that is strangely familiar but do try to let them be!

Spread well over 100sqm, UT's offers two double bedrooms; (one en-suite); a family bathroom; a substantial open plan living area leading directly on to decking and further to a 25m long garden.

Designer touches abound - from Slate and Swedish Moss lined walls to original parquet floors, under tile heating and the granite clad Bosch fridge. Amenities are commensurate, for example under tile bathroom heating, Grohe fittings, Nespresso coffee maker, Bosch and Fisher Paykel appliances, Bose Bluetooth speaker, Samsung 4K HDR smart TV, bedside USB charge points and its own upright piano (please do let us know if you'd like it tuned in advance).

All views are of UTs’ expansive private decking and gardens bordered by bamboo, magnificent magnolias, rhododendrons, hydrangeas, eucalyptus, olive trees, mature (very) apple trees, Japanese maple and Jerusalem artichokes, to name a few.

Wildlife ranges from 'our' bats circling at dusk, marauding magpies, vocal night owls, the occasional woodpecker and the chatters of parakeets partial to our summer menu of apples and blackcurrants. We've been surprised by how many guests mention being unexpectedly entertained, taking a front row seat for the daily birdseed battle of squirrel vs 7 white doves (landed on the lawn after QEII's funeral and never left) and the characters at the dusk fox social .
