Story of the Home
Perched on the top floor of the beautifully restored Belsize Park Firehouse, this one-bedroom apartment offers a rare blend of character and contemporary comfort, with natural light streaming through Crittall-style steel-framed windows and elevated clear views across the neighbourhood rooftops.
Clean modern finishes sit effortlessly alongside period detailing, reflecting the building’s rich heritage; originally opened in 1915 as Belsize Park Fire Station and designed by Charles Canning Windmill of the London County Council Architects Department, the building was awarded Grade II* status by English Heritage over forty years ago and described as “one of the most distinctive and original of a remarkable series of fire stations built.”
Today it has been meticulously reimagined, its Arts and Crafts architecture carefully preserved while thoughtful modern interventions ensure it continues to serve as landmark residence.
The location combines village charm with city convenience, with England’s Lane and its independent cafés, bakeries and restaurants just moments away, Primrose Hill to the south and Hampstead to the north, while Belsize Park (Northern Line) and Swiss Cottage (Jubilee Line) stations and an excellent choice of schools make this a truly desirable home in a coveted corner of north-west London.
