Summary - West Lodge, Compton Avenue N6 4LB
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Grand private house with pool and large garden opposite Kenwood House.
About 6,900 sq ft across three floors, substantial entertaining space
Set on a gated road opposite the grounds of Kenwood House, this substantial Georgian-style detached freehold offers about 6,900 sq ft of flexible family living across three floors. The house is arranged for entertaining and everyday family life with a double-volume drawing room, large dining and reception spaces and a 25’ x 24’ conservatory/family room that floods the rear in natural light and opens directly to the garden and pool.
The principal suite is complemented by a generous selection of further bedrooms and en suite bathrooms, plus a top-floor study, gym with shower and a sauna — useful for private working, fitness or ancillary accommodation. Outside, a very large level garden, summer house/garden room, outdoor swimming pool, carriage driveway and substantial garage deliver privacy, parking and storage on a significant plot.
Practical points to note: the property dates from the 1930s–40s and has solid brick walls (assumed uninsulated), an EPC rating of D and very slow broadband speeds. Council tax is band H and described as very expensive. These factors are important for buyers planning modernisation, energy efficiency improvements or high-running costs.
This home will suit families or downsizers wanting a prestigious, private setting with scope to update and personalise. Its scale, garden and position opposite Kenwood House make it rare in the area; buyers should budget for improvement work to bring services, insulation and technology fully up to current standards.
