Set on a very large private plot in N6, this substantial detached house offers flexible living across multiple floors and is well suited to an established family or household seeking on-site staff accommodation. The property combines grand proportions — a double-height entrance hall and large reception rooms — with practical spaces including a kitchen-diner, double-storey conservatory and formal dining room. Direct garden access from principal ground-floor receptions enhances flow for everyday family life and entertaining.
The first floor is arranged around an exceptional principal suite with dressing room, en-suite bathroom and private terrace, plus five further double bedrooms each with an en-suite. The second floor reads as a semi-independent suite: a large playroom with kitchen and en-suite plus two bedrooms that share a bathroom — ideal for nanny accommodation, older children or extended family. The lower-ground level is given over to wellness and utility, with a gym, sauna, office, wine cellar and additional utility space.
Outdoor living is a strong asset: a substantial garden with an in-ground swimming pool, terrace and garage provide private, family-friendly amenities. Location is a key strength — a short walk from Hampstead Heath and Kenwood, close to Highgate Village amenities and within easy reach of Highgate and East Finchley stations. Several highly ranked schools are nearby, making the house attractive to families prioritising education.
Buyers should note the house was constructed in the late 1970s–early 1980s in a Georgian style, so some areas may benefit from updating to match contemporary finishes. The scale of accommodation, pool and grounds means maintenance and running costs will be significant. Overall this is a rare, freehold family home offering space, privacy and scope for modernisation or reconfiguration to suit a buyer’s specific needs.
