Welcome to 39 Frognal.

This truly unique former artist’s studio is positioned on the top floor of a Grade II-listed Victorian house in Hampstead. Commissioned by the late children’s illustrator Kate Greenaway, the house was built in 1885 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw.

Over 1,332 square feet of living space, tall ceilings and original features are present throughout, far reaching views across the London skyline from the vast landing area and bedroom.
The orientation of the living area was deliberately designed to fill the room with even north-eastern light, and therefore provides the perfect conditions for painting.
The property is located a short walk from Hampstead High street with all its wonderful restaurants, cafes and shops and the the underground station that provides easy access to central London. The famous green space of Hampstead Heath is nearby with its open air swimming pools and breathtaking views.

Architecturally designed.

Steps through the lush front garden, leads to a doorway with architraves and a part-glazed panelled front door. The house is arranged over three floors and has been split into three separate dwellings. The original balustrade is present on the communal staircase and the lobby area has a wonderful mix of original parquet flooring and mosaic tiles.

The entrance to the apartment lies on the third floor, the landing is painted in a dusty pink shade by Farrow and Ball and has views of the London skyline. Off the spacious landing there are wide doorways that lead to a spacious double bedroom with a large walk in wardrobe and more views over London. There is a separate shower room with a window, hand wash basin, storage beneath and W.C.

Light Filled Throughout.

Large double doors open out into the main living space, a vast room with high ceilings, original fireplaces. The natural light in this room is particularly striking, deliberately designed by the Victorian architect Richard Norman Shaw for Kate Greenaway with the intention to fill the room with even north-eastern light throughout the day. The contemporary kitchen and island are neatly arranged at one end of the space. A useful pantry cupboard sits behind, with plenty of shelving for storage. Further storage sits opposite behind two original doors, with small windows inside.

The shape of the terrace was purposefully designed to face north-east to ensure plenty of natural light to flood the studio. It provides lovely views across the rear gardens and trees. Protected by a white painted fence, there’s plenty of space for a table and chairs.
