This exemplary two-bedroom ex-Local Authority duplex with large balcony is located on the iconic Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate in St John’s Wood. Built in the late 1960s to a design by the revered Modernist architect Neave Brown, the development has been given a rare Grade II* listing by English Heritage in recognition of its architectural significance.

The flat has its own entrance, and is arranged over two floors. The raised ground floor contains two bedrooms and a family bathroom. Upstairs is a fantastic open-plan reception / dining / kitchen area, looking south over the newly refurbished communal gardens with the reception room opening on to a large, sunny balcony.

This flat has a particularly good position on the estate just off Abbey Road, with green views to the rear. It has been sensitively refurbished by the current owner, a film maker who has fitted a modern kitchen and bathroom in recent years. The best original features have been retained, including the timber staircase and the wonderful glazed timber-framed sliding doors. Unusually, this flat has its own combi-boiler and is therefore not on the communal heating system.

Rowley Way is located near the amenities of London’s famous Abbey Road, with a further range of shops, cafés and restaurants on St John’s Wood High Street and West End Lane. The open spaces of Primrose Hill and Regent’s Park are also within walking distance. The Underground is available at nearby Swiss Cottage (Jubilee Line), and the Overground at South Hampstead.

With its striking stepped concrete terraces, the Alexandra & Ainsworth Estate (also known as Alexandra Road) is the most famous of the social housing schemes built during Camden’s “golden age” in the 1960s and 1970s.

Please note that we are unaware of any lenders providing mortgages on this estate at the present time.
