2 bedroom flat for sale

Guide Price: £500,000 to £550,000Chartwell Court, NW2 – a rare opportunity to own a piece of North London history.Originally built in the 1930s, this striking Art Deco landmark once formed part of the Post Office Research Station, an institution of national importance where some of Britain’s greatest telecommunications innovations were born. The wider site is recognised for its heritage significance — Winston Churchill’s wartime communications bunker was located nearby, and it is said that elements of D-Day were planned within this very complex. Today, Chartwell Court retains its industrial grandeur and Deco elegance, sympathetically converted into stylish residential apartments that fuse history with modern design.Set within this historic building, the apartment itself spans close to 1,000 sq. ft. of split-level lateral living. The open-plan living and kitchen area offers an impressive sense of volume — over 6m by 7m — arranged across two levels to create distinct zones for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Eight south-facing skylights flood the space with natural light, while the exposed RSJs and architectural details nod to the building’s industrial roots, giving a genuine loft-style atmosphere.The kitchen is fitted to a high specification, with elegant tiling, quartz worktops, integrated appliances including a stacked fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine, plus ample storage. Throughout the home, wooden floors and stylish skirting enhance the contemporary feel, while the soaring ceilings in the reception area reach an impressive 5 metres at their peak.There are two double bedrooms, both well-proportioned and filled with natural light, complemented by thoughtful built-in storage. A cool glass brick wall separates the living space from the bedroom area, allowing light to travel throughout the apartment. The second bedroom enjoys a unique split-level design, and the bathroom features a bathtub with shower, tasteful tiling, and a large mirror that enhances the feeling of openness. In total, the property enjoys 14 skylights, ensuring a bright, uplifting environment from morning to evening.Residents benefit from lift access, secure off-street parking, bicycle storage, and original gated security, all within this beautifully maintained building.Chartwell Court is conveniently located within a short walking distance of Gladstone Park, where residents can enjoy tennis courts, two playgrounds, and the popular Gladstone Park Café — a perfect pitstop during a weekend stroll. Local shops are just five minutes away on foot, while Lidl and the famous Wing Yip Oriental Superstore are also within easy driving distance. The area is well served by reputable schools, including Our Lady of Grace Junior School and Menorah Girls’ School.A major highlight for the area is the £4.6 billion Brent Cross regeneration project — one of the largest regeneration initiatives in Europe and London’s most ambitious post-pandemic development. Designed to become the capital’s biggest “15-minute town,” Brent Cross will offer residents seamless access to shops, restaurants, parks, offices, and a new Thameslink station (Brent Cross West) — all within a quarter of an hour’s walk.The property is well-connected for commuting, with both Dollis Hill and Neasden Underground stations (Jubilee Line) within easy reach. The new Brent Cross West Overground is nearby and offers direct services to London St Pancras, Luton, St Albans, Sutton, and Wimbledon. For those traveling by car, Staples Corner, Brent Cross, the North Circular, and the M1 are all easily accessible.A truly unique home — rich in history, flooded with light, and offering stylish, contemporary living within one of London’s most distinctive Art Deco conversions.
