2 rooms flat 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.
