Subject to a sympathetic renovation in recent years, this one-bedroom apartment in Highgate is positioned on the second floor of a well-conceived 1970s modernist block. Designed by Yorke, Rosenberg & Mardall, the apartment combines original features, such as timber-framed windows and herringbone parquet flooring, with a series of clever design touches, including cabinetry and pocket doors painted in vibrant colours. The apartment has a private, west-facing balcony, which overlooks the leafy tree canopies and verdant planting in the communal gardens below. The building is excellently located near the green expanses of Parliament Hill and Hampstead Heath, with Kentish Town, Tufnell Park and Camden all within easy walking distance.
