1 bedroom | 1 reception | 1 bathroom | Private terrace

A refurbished brutalist one bedroom flat in the historic and iconic Rowley Way estate, one of the best preserved examples of Brutalist neighbourhood living in Europe. Borough architects in their heyday built properties to thrive in, not just to live. This property is no exception

EMAIL ENQUIRIES ONLY | Available unfurnished from late January 2026.

Architecture & Interior 

This brutalist beauty has recently been completely refurbished throughout and is generous with space and light. Situated on the second floor of the ‘curve’ with a marvellously positioned terrace which has sweeping views over Rowley Way. 

The one-bedroom flats in the estate were cleverly designed around a flowing design as you walk around the property, so each space floats into the next. 

As you enter the reception room is spaciously proportioned and flooded with natural light from the floor to ceiling terrace doors. Adjacent is the kitchen which has been restored to a great standard with all necessary appliances included. 

The bedroom naturally meanders off from the living room complete with an original timber sliding wall creating a distinction between living and sleeping areas of the property. 

There is storage aplenty to the rear of the bedroom with a big built in wardrobe and an innovative sliding wall allowing translucent light through a well, that can be opened to provide natural light and air to the rear of the apartment. 

Flowing naturally off the bedroom is an ensuite bathroom finished in neutral tiling, and a built-in cupboard as well. 

 

In The Neighbourhood 

The Alexandra & Ainsworth ‘Rowley Way’ estate has a unique feel to it with a vibrant mix of locals, professionals and families; you get to know your neighbours quickly and people look out for each other in the old-fashioned way. Neave Brown, the St Pancras borough architect in the late 1970’s, built this estate specifically as a place to live, not just exist. 

Located close to South Hampstead, Swiss Cottage & Finchley Road, you are spoilt for choice for amenities. Primrose Hill & Regents Park are your best local parks, a mere 15-minute walk away through St John’s Wood. 

Local favourite spots include Green Village Deli, an Italian with fresh organic produce, coffee, wine and fantastic daily meals & sandwiches, & Arches Wine Bar for British fare and with an extensive wine menu. Best local pubs include The Clifton, a former hunting lodge & The Priory Tavern, a great local ale house. A string of supermarkets line Finchley Road, with Waitrose, M&S & Sainsbury’s all close by. There is also a Tesco Local, just on the roundabout near South Hampstead station, a five-minute walk away. 

 

Transport and connections 

Transport options are at a premium. South Hampstead overground station is a few minutes’ walk and connects to Euston Mainline Station in just one stop but also has trains north towards Watford. Swiss Cottage underground is around an 8-minute walk and links up with the Jubilee Line into the city, & Finchley Road station is around 10 minutes away and connects to the Metropolitan Line. A raft of 24hr buses depart from Finchley Road taking you to the heart of the city.
