A Modernist Masterpiece Opposite Hampstead Heath

Built in the early 1960s by the pioneering architect James Gowan for furniture designer Chaim Schreiber, Schreiber House remains one of London’s most significant examples of post-war modernism. Set on an elevated site overlooking Hampstead Heath, this Grade II-listed home balances architectural precision with an inviting sense of comfort, making it as liveable today as it was visionary when first conceived.
Behind its striking façade of blue Staffordshire brick, the house opens to a breathtaking double-height reception and dining space flooded with natural light. Vast windows frame leafy views across the Heath, while soaring ceilings and carefully considered proportions create an atmosphere of calm grandeur. Original details are preserved throughout, from the bronze lighting and Muhuhu hardwood floors to the bespoke built-in furniture designed by Schreiber and built in his own workshops.

The kitchen, sympathetically updated, combines glass and bronze cabinetry with a sleek, functional layout. A sculptural bronze staircase anchors the heart of the house, leading to a galleried library and upper-level bedrooms. The principal suite is generous, with an ensuite bathroom and dressing area, while three further bedrooms share beautifully detailed bathrooms, one with a steam shower.

On the lower level, a guest bedroom, utility room and double garage add practicality, while the landscaped south-facing garden feels like a private extension of the Heath. It features mature planting, ferns and flowering borders. Secure gates open to off-street parking for several cars, including EV charging.

At the corner of West Heath Road and Redington Road, Schreiber House sits just moments from Hampstead Village and the Underground station, with its cafés, delis and independent shops. Transport is close by; it is 0.8miles to Hampstead Underground (Northern Line) and just under a mile and half to Hampstead Heath overground line.
