The Tour

St James Mansions, located on the corner of West End Lane and Hemstal Road, were built in 1895 by the developer Edward Jarvis Cave who, with his sons, has built many of the mansions blocks in West Hampstead, Finchley Road and Maida Vale. The current owners have added to the rich history by extensively renovating this stunning apartment whilst keeping many of the original features, classically styled fireplaces and sash windows affording a contemporary modern finish full of character and charm.

To the left of the entrance and down the hardwood oiled oak flooring you are greeted by the reception room which overlooks onto the peaceful tree lined Hilltop Road. The large sash windows allow for an abundance of natural light to flood the room whilst the fireplace marks the focal point adding a stylish heightened visual interest and elevating the room’s eclectic design. The dining room next door, which can be converted into another bedroom, retains all its original features, including the high ceilings spanning 3 meters. Completing this wing is a utility room, separate to the kitchen, and equipped with ample storage.

Further down the expansive hallway is a spacious kitchen-diner with access leading out to a secluded east facing balcony which welcomes in the morning sun. To the rear of this lateral apartment is the principal bedroom overlooking the south facing communal gardens. Affording privacy and intimacy, the principal bedroom benefits from an en-suite bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, bathtub, and a double vanity sink, befitting of any modern home. Completing the apartment are a family bathroom that services the remaining two bedrooms, one of which a spacious double, and a separate guest WC.
