Parsifal Road, London

Some studio apartments can feel a little… well, studio. This one doesn’t.

Tucked away on Parsifal Road, one of West Hampstead’s lovely tree-lined streets, this bright period conversion has the kind of character and proportions that are difficult to appreciate from photographs alone.

The ornate original ceilings and impressive ceiling height are the first things that catch your eye, while the large bay window brings an abundance of natural light into the living space.

And then there’s the mezzanine… A clever sleeping area creates a real sense of separation without closing the room in, while built-in storage makes excellent use of the space underneath.

Add a feature fireplace, modern open-plan kitchen, excellent storage and beautifully maintained communal gardens, and you have a home that feels both characterful and incredibly practical.

Mins walk to espc International school and, of course, there’s West Hampstead itself. Cafés, restaurants and independent shops. Jubilee, Metropolitan, Overground & Thameslink.
