Set on one of North London’s most private, gated roads, this substantial Georgian‑influenced detached house offers almost 9,500 sq ft across three low-built floors. Grand reception rooms, high ceilings and arched windows deliver abundant natural light and formal entertaining space, while a large principal suite and multiple en suites already provide a clear family layout. Outside there is a wide carriage driveway, off‑street parking, and a mature private garden backing onto woodland-like planting for strong privacy.
The house includes unusual assets for central London: a ground‑floor indoor swimming pool and generous plot size, making it well suited to a growing family, household with staff, or a buyer seeking a high-end renovation project with scope to create contemporary living while retaining period character. The property’s location on Courtenay Avenue places it equidistant between Hampstead and Highgate Villages with excellent local schools and easy access to amenities.
The house requires full modernisation throughout. Essential renovation works are needed to update services, finishes and living spaces to contemporary standards — the condition underpins significant potential uplift but also means a buyer must be prepared for a substantial refurbishment programme and associated costs. Council tax is very high and ongoing maintenance on a house of this size will be material.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a private, secure, large family residence in a very affluent pocket of North London. The combination of plot, historic architectural features and scope for redesign will appeal to buyers looking to create a lasting family legacy or realise value through careful restoration.
