A rare chance to buy a three-bedroom apartmentin a Grade I I l isted bui lding designed by theiconic architect, Erno Goldfinger with lots oforiginal features sti l l intact.
The third-floor flat has a spacious hal lway thatleads through to the main l iving area with its corkti le floor and large south facing windows,welcoming lots of natural l ight and leading out toa good size balcony. A folding screen opens up toa dining area which in turn leads in to a gal leykitchen. The lower kitchen units are newer thanthe original mahogany cupboards with theirsl iding doors above. Three bedrooms to the rearof the bui lding al l look out over the garden andbenefit from the original mahogany wardrobes andcupboards which provide considerable storage.And the hal lway and bedrooms feature black t i ledfloors similar to those used in Goldfinger’s ownWil low Road. The bathroom and separate WC aresituated off the main hal lway. The apartmentincludes many other unique original features, l ikethe recessed curtain rai ls and original radiators.
In the basement of the bui lding there is acommunal garden room, laundry and a privatesecure storage cupboard. A large, beautifulcommunal garden is wel l maintained and offers awelcomed sanctuary. The main entrance is hometo a quarry t i le floor and a stunning canti leverstaircase that gives access to the bui lding’s fourfloors.
The block was bui lt between 1954 – 56 for theRegents Park Housing Society, a co-operativegroup that got together to bui ld on an infil l s itecreated by a WWII bomb using a 90% mortgagefrom the local counci l . The foundations of thissociety st i l l exist in many ways, one of whichstates that the rental of the flats is not al lowed.Over the years the bui lding has been home tosome interesting inhabitants, including anauthor, a concert pianist, an editor of the Timesliterary supplement, a magazine printer, alecturer in maths and an architect. The bui lding was bui lt using reinforced concreteconstruction. The board-marked concrete pi l larsexposed at the ground level, exposed concreteslabs (wire brushed to show the aggregate), redbrick infil ls and concrete slab balconies create acareful composit ion. The amount of concrete onshow tel ls the story of Goldfinger’s progressiontowards his more well known projects l ike Balfronand Trel l ick Towers.
Located a short walk from Primrose Hi l l and thegreen expanse of Regents Park, the apartment isclose enough to London Zoo that you’l loccasional ly hear the roar of a l ion. Camden iswell known for i ts wealth of restaurants, pubs,bars and it ’s world famous market. You can alsotake ful l advantage of the annual Fr ieze Mastersand Freize London art fairs that take place inRegent’s Park.
