Vale House, Vale of Health, London,

Offering close to 1,200 sq ft across three floors with a private terrace and patio, it is one of the few homes located within the Heath itself. The house has been sensitively restored, preserving its historic structure while introducing a clean, contemporary design language.

The ground floor opens into a full-width reception where exposed brickwork frames the fireplace and restored ceiling detail adds depth and character. Timber flooring runs through to the kitchen, which features Miele appliances, stone worktops, marble basins, and alabaster lights above the island. A striking walk-on skylight forms part of the terrace above, drawing daylight deeply into the plan. A shower room sits on this level, finished in a modern stone palette with refined fittings and large-format tiling that echo the property’s wider design aesthetic.

The first floor includes a generous double bedroom running front to back, a second bedroom and a bathroom distinguished by sleek stone surfaces, minimalist brassware, and a soft micro-cement-style finish. From here, doors open onto a large private terrace set within the Heath’s surrounding greenery. The top floor provides a further double bedroom with calm outlooks and excellent ceiling height.

Despite its rare seclusion, the cottage is moments from Belsize Park Underground and Hampstead Heath Overground, with local cafés, pubs and independent shops reinforcing its village-like appeal.
