Parliament Hill NW3

An imaginative three-bedroom duplex in Hampstead with thoughtful design details and panoramic views across London.

On a quiet road two minutes’ walk from Hampstead Heath, a traditional brick façade belies the contemporary home within. Set across the second and third floor, this characterful apartment showcases inverted living and spatial innovation.

Entering the top-floor living area, rejuvenating sunlight streams in through a skylight. This open-plan space balances the three functions of cooking, dining and relaxing. A stylish, mint-green kitchen is arranged around a fluted island. This space pairs practical considerations such as integrated appliances and fitted storage with poised design details such as ceramic tiles and stone worktops.

Wood flooring flows into a comfortable living area with a media wall finished in white marble. From the dining area, floor-to-ceiling glazing draws in natural light, folding to grant access to a decked terrace. From 1 Canada Square to the BT Tower, this enviable vantage point provides uninterrupted views over the entire London skyline.

Set on the second floor, the principal bedroom employs classic influences and olive tones to create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Design features include hardwood herringbone flooring and a dazzling green fireplace. Above, cornicing and an intricate ceiling rose crown the room. A matching en suite benefits from a frameless rainfall shower with Burlington fittings.

Two further bedrooms each feature herringbone flooring, west-facing windows and a dark, distinguished fireplace with patterned tiles and a white marble surround. A family bathroom enjoys vertical wall tiles, a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in rainfall shower with brushed brass taps. A generous sash window provides far-reaching views over the rooftops and across the city skyline.
