An exceptional double-fronted detached residence on Hamilton Terrace, originally built c.1830, occupying a deep 150 ft west-facing garden in one of St John’s Wood’s most prestigious streets. The property is currently arranged as six substantial apartments but benefits from full planning permission to convert to a single-family mansion of approximately 12,500 sq ft, including extensive leisure facilities such as a swimming pool — a rare redevelopment opportunity in NW8.
The house combines grand Victorian proportions, high ceilings and a classical stucco façade with scope for a contemporary family layout over basement, lower ground, principal and upper floors. Approved plans and a complete architect pack reduce technical risk for a purchaser intending to create a large single-family residence with cinema, spa and gym. Off-street parking and direct proximity to Regent’s Park, St John’s Wood High Street and excellent transport links make this a genuinely convenient central-London family site.
Buyers should note material considerations: the building is currently configured as six self-contained flats, so conversion will require substantial construction works and coordination with the approved scheme. The property sits within the St John’s Wood Conservation Area, which may limit certain external alterations and require specialist consents. Built in 1830, historic fabric means ongoing maintenance and sensitive restoration will be necessary.
This is best suited to a buyer seeking a high-end family home or investment with planning in place — someone prepared to manage a major refurbishment to realise the approved single-family scheme. The combination of scale, outdoor space and formal permission for significant leisure amenities represents compelling value in one of London’s most affluent pockets, while council tax and restoration costs should be factored into acquisition budgeting.
