Summary - 23 CAVENDISH CLOSE LONDON NW8 9JB
7 bed 8 bath Detached
Prestigious family home with pool, gym, outbuilding and large private garden.
Over 9,500 sq ft across six principal floors and a sub‑basement plant room
An exceptional, late‑Georgian detached house offering more than 9,500 sq ft of formal living and entertaining space across six main floors. Grand reception rooms, tall ceilings and ornate period detailing create elegant family and guest areas, while a whole‑floor principal suite provides private, luxurious accommodation. The property occupies a large, landscaped garden and benefits from a separate two‑storey outbuilding for guests, studio or office use.
The lower ground level is arranged for leisure: a 13‑metre indoor pool, steam room, bar/media area and supporting plant rooms beneath. Practical facilities include a gym, multiple utilities and plentiful dressing/storage space across the bedroom suites. The house is freehold and located on a quiet cul‑de‑sac a short walk from Regent’s Park and St John’s Wood High Street, with excellent transport links and highly regarded schools close by.
Buyers should note a few material considerations. The property is a historic, solid‑brick building (pre‑1900) and insulation details are not defined; upgrading thermal performance may be required. Mechanical plant and pool equipment occupy a sub‑basement and will need ongoing servicing; comprehensive maintenance is likely and pool servicing costs can be significant. Council tax is described as very expensive, and details on service charge/ground rent have not been confirmed — purchasers should make their own enquiries regarding these points.
This house will suit buyers seeking a prestigious family residence or a substantial central London pied‑à‑terre with guest/entertaining facilities. Its scale and period character offer scope for sympathetic modernisation while preserving original proportions and detailing.
