Orbit House

Orbit House was built in 2019 on the footprint of a 1930s bungalow, which is why it has a garage and a driveway on a street where almost nothing does. The rotunda is the thing people remember, but the room that sells the house is the kitchen: twelve metres along the garden side, underfloor heating throughout, and glazing that folds back far enough that in July the room and the courtyard read as one space. The cinema room is genuinely soundproofed rather than merely dark. Upstairs, four of the five bedrooms are true doubles with fitted storage, and the principal suite has its own dressing room and a bath that looks over the courtyard rather than over the street. Practicalities: freehold, EPC B, council tax band H, and no chain — the owners have already completed on a move to Oxfordshire. The heath is a six-minute walk via the Vale of Health, Hampstead station is eleven minutes on foot, and the two schools most buyers ask about are both inside catchment as of this year, though catchments move and we would always tell you to check rather than take our word for it.
