Set on one of London’s most prestigious roads, this detached Georgian‑Revival home delivers more than 10,600 sq ft of adaptable family living across four floors. The layout centres on a dramatic double‑height foyer and prominent staircase, with an internal lift to all levels. There are eight bedrooms (seven with dressing rooms and en‑suites), four reception rooms and dedicated leisure spaces including a cinema, gym, salon and games room.
The property’s standout technical features support modern living and entertaining: an indoor‑outdoor pool with movable floor, underfloor heating, VRV air‑conditioning, programmable blinds, Nuvo AV and extensive security with automated gates and CCTV. Car access is generous with a gated carriage driveway, car‑stacking garage and a car lift, while a large landscaped garden, terrace and outdoor jacuzzi extend the leisure offering outdoors. The freehold tenure and substantial plot add long‑term permanence.
Practical considerations are straightforward and important. Broadband speeds are slow in this location despite excellent mobile signal. Crime levels in the area are above average and council tax is very expensive — both factors to budget for. The house dates from the 1930s–40s and, while well appointed, the scale and specialist systems will carry ongoing maintenance responsibilities and running costs.
Located in N2, close to Highgate and Hampstead amenities and within easy reach of East Finchley Underground (around 20 minutes to central West End locations), the house suits an extended family seeking a private, technology‑rich home with extensive leisure facilities. It will also appeal to buyers who prioritise space, security and entertainment capability and who are prepared for the associated service and running costs.
