Are you looking for house proportions with apartment ease? Created from three apartments, this remarkable home on Belsize Park Gardens lives like a house in the sky. Arranged across the first, second and third floors of an elegant white stucco villa, the apartment unfolds with the scale and progression of a substantial Belsize residence. Elevated well above the street, it enjoys the security and light of penthouse living while retaining the maturity, grandeur and generous proportions of a full-size family home. The effect is unusual, unlike anything we've traversed before (!), and immediately compelling. While technically an apartment, the experience is unmistakably that of a house: broad rooms unfold across floors, ceiling heights soar, and the sense of movement through the space feels incredibly vast. The merging of the three original apartments has created something overtly special. The home offers a layered, but lateral, internal landscape of over 4,200 square feet. Rooms stretch wide and the architecture retains the elegance typical of the grand Victorian villas that line this handsome street: the staircase itself even retains it's original Victorian stone and ironwork, which we particularly love. Yet, because the home begins above ground level, it carries a sense of elevation and calm unique to 64a, and rarely found this close to the bustle of London. The first floor forms the natural centre of the home and is where the sense of volume is most immediately felt. The principal reception spaces are adorned by large sash windows which draw in generous natural light and frame leafy treetop views across the surrounding villas. The main reception room stretches to almost 25ft, accommodating large gatherings and quieter evenings with grace and ease. Nearby, the kitchen and dining room sit at the heart of the home. This wonderfully sociable room is designed as much for everyday life as for entertaining. Its scale allows cooking, dining and conversation to coexist naturally, making it the true hub of the home. Doors open directly onto a terrace, allowing the interior to extend outdoors during warmer months, and currently houses a beloved BBQ. The terrace itself provides a spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, and emphasises the value of being above the street rather than upon it. Adjoining the space, a further reception and family room provide additional flexibility, creating spaces that can easily adapt to different rhythms of family life. Whether used as a more intimate sitting room, a media space (fit already with a projector) or a relaxed reading room, rooms like these amplify how the scale of the home offers variety and comfort. Ascending to the upper floors, the sense of privacy becomes more pronounced. The bedrooms are arranged across the second and third floors, giving the home the natural separation between living and sleeping spaces typically associated with a house. The principal bedroom suite is particularly generous and enjoys a calm outlook across the surrounding rooftops and skyline. Bespoke fitted cupboards have been carefully integrated into the room, providing ample storage... a repeated priority throughout the home. Additional bedrooms are equally well proportioned, and several rooms could easily function as studies, creative spaces or secondary sitting rooms. At the top of the home, the architecture shifts as the roofline begins to play a role in shaping the spaces, giving the upper floor a sense of character and a true similarity to neighbouring full houses. Another terrace sits high above the street at this level, providing a striking vantage point across London. From here, the city unfolds in layers of rooftops, foliage, and distant landmarks. Familiar silhouettes, including the BT Tower and the London Eye, appear beyond the trees. Throughout the apartment, thoughtful details support prime modern living. Hi-fi and video cabling have been integrated into the structure of the home and the first-floor flooring has been carefully soundproofed. Belsize Park Gardens is widely considered one of the area’s most attractive residential streets. Lined with handsome Victorian villas and mature trees, it has an elegance that reflects the architectural heritage of Belsize Park itself. The atmosphere is residential and gently removed from the busier cut-throughs of neighbouring roads, yet everything that makes the area so desirable remains within easy reach. The cafs, restaurants and village atmosphere of England's Lane and Belsize Park are a short stroll away, as are the boutiques and charm of nearby Hampstead. Excellent transport connections provide swift access to the West End and the City, while the open landscapes of Hampstead Heath and Primrose Hill lie close by for sprawling walks.
