New Homes in Swiss Cottage

 

A hugely desirable area for a number of reasons, Swiss Cottage is one of those neighbourhoods that ticks so many boxes for house hunters in London. We could help you tick the box titled ‘great value’ when you buy a new home through offers like our Movemaker scheme, where we help you sell an existing home, meaning you won’t have to pay any estate agents’ fees in the process.

 

 

Primrose Hill pushes up against the edge of Swiss Cottage to provide a superb spot to relax and soak up some impressive views across London. Regent’s Park is just a short stroll away too, and likewise Camden Town with all its vintage shops, markets and cafes. If you like sports then Lord’s Cricket Ground lies within the local area, while you may also be interested in joining Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre. Music lovers, meanwhile, can visit the iconic Abbey Road Studios. 

 

Only around a mile north you’ll find the beautiful Hampstead Heath with its viewpoints, bathing ponds and sports facilities, while it’s not much further to Hyde Park in the opposite direction. With some of London’s top cultural attractions close to home, such as the British Museum and the British Library, there are countless ways to spend your time come rain or shine. 

 

 

This area is known for its private schools, with options for younger children including Hall School, Hereward House School, Sarum Hall School and Trevor-Roberts School. There’s also all-through South Hampstead High School, while good local state primaries include Rosary Roman Catholic Primary, Fitzjohn’s Primary and Holy Trinity CofE. The UCL Academy is a good mixed secondary, according to Ofsted, while Hampstead Fine Arts College is another local independent. 

 

 

Swiss Cottage station is on the Jubilee line, which means you can get to places like Bond Street, Westminster, Waterloo and London Bridge without changing trains. It also makes Swiss Cottage popular among finance workers in Canary Wharf, which is only 20 minutes away without the need to change. As well as being on a number of bus routes, you can also catch Overground services from nearby South Hampstead or Finchley Road, with trains from the former to Euston taking less than 10 minutes. 

 

 

This is an incredibly sought-after corner of London, and as such property prices are around double the average across the rest of the capital. There are some superb properties in the area though if you can afford them, with everything from spectacular mansions along tree-lined avenues to much more reasonable studios and apartments. 

 

You could also broaden your search to spots like Moorhen Drive in Hendon, where you can find 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments at the heart of some impressive local regeneration. And if it’s a new property you’re after, don’t miss our Low Deposit Schemes in London, with Deposit Unlock or Deposit Boost.
