Agents Appointed

The Baker Street New Homes team of global property consultancy Knight Frank and specialist real estate company Kingsbury Stone have been instructed by West Hampstead Ltd to bring The Clay Yard to market – a brand new scheme located in sought-after West Hampstead, North London, comprising 106 one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments.

The development comprises two separate buildings – The Heights and The Mansions. Both are set within a serene community courtyard garden, and all apartments benefit from private balconies, terraces or winter gardens.

The Clay Yard is in area of London once famous for its tile and brick kilns. Taking inspiration from the area’s heritage, the development celebrates this local history by taking a natural approach to contemporary living. Soothing neutral and earth tones, soft and uplifting lighting and natural textiles all contribute to the scheme’s sense of balance, serenity and restfulness.

Large windows that maximise natural sunlight; beautiful, engineered oak flooring; contrasting textures and complementary colour palettes throughout the living spaces; and modern kitchens and bathrooms create a tranquil refuge from the intensity of city living, offering residents a place recharge and revitalise. Feature walls of limewash – a paint formed from clay, minerals and natural pigments – offer a gentle nod to the development’s name.

Adopting the philosophy of “wellness through design”, The Clay Yard boasts an array of onsite amenities for residents to enjoy. These include a concierge service, residents’ lounge with business facilities, and private gym.

With three underground and overground stations on its doorstep, The Clay Yard offers unrivalled and speedy access into central London and beyond. West Hampstead is surrounded by some of London’s most revered green spaces. The wilds of Hampstead Heath feature untamed terrain, woodlands, and ponds – perfectly in keeping with The Clay Yard’s natural aesthetic and ethos.

The Clay Yard has been built with sustainability in mind; technology has been used to minimise environmental impact and make life for residents more efficient and economical. Low carbon air source heat pumps provide a renewable alternative to fossil fuel heating systems. The external areas, and specifically the planting, have been designed to bring a significant biodiversity gain including wild habitat creation to encourage nature to thrive.

Priya Black, Head of Baker Street New Homes at Knight Frank, said: “West Hampstead is one of London’s most desirable areas to live, and property here is highly sought-after. The neighbourhood is well-known for its genuine village atmosphere and West End Lane offers a perfect mix of boutique shops and independent eateries. New developments in West Hampstead are scarce, which is why the launch of The Clay Yard is so exciting. Contemporary living and sustainable design marry beautifully with the natural inspiration taken from the area’s local heritage and the wild beauty of Hampstead Heath.”

Michael Stone, Managing Director of Kingsbury Stone, commented: “The Clay Yard in West Hampstead is perfectly positioned to meet the ever-increasing demand for high quality homes in this desirable pocket of London where buyers and in particular young professionals and families are on the lookout for homes near to West End Lane and all that it has to offer. With its excellent transport links to central London, strong sense of community and village feel, West Hampstead is a hugely popular spot for those looking to put down roots.

The Clay Yards launches in March 2023. Knight Frank and Kingsbury Stone are instructed as joint agents. Prices start from £650,000.
