Location

The house is situated on the western side of North Road, almost opposite Highgate School, in one of London's most historic and pretty villages.
Highgate Village has a terrific array of bespoke shops, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops within 500 metres, and fabulous open spaces of Hampstead Heath, Waterlow Park and Highgate Woods are virtually on the doorstep. Highgate is well served for public transport with a Northern Line station (0.5m) and direct bus routes to the City, St Pancras International and Brent Cross Shopping Centre.

Description

This wonderful family home has outstanding gardens and a plethora of period detailing which we believe dates back as far as 1692. The beautiful frontage sits behind wrought iron entrance gates and a cobble & stone driveway which is large enough for at least 3 cars, and there is also a small garage. To the side of the house (formally number 21), there is a significant area which stretches into the garden which is large enough to have once been occupied by a further dwelling, and historically, there was planning consent granted for a three story town house. The house is entered via a 'Doric' portico, and there is grand entrance hall with ornate fireplace leading to the stairwell, day room, kitchen & gardens. The house is steeped in history which is evident throughout the property show-casing ornate period styling, charm and character of an age gone by. There are wonderful reception rooms and extensive bedroom accommodation over mostly three levels and in addition there are cellars and a workshop in basement. The tranquil walled gardens are exemplary, with a large lawn, mature shrubs and trees, and a former kitchen garden to the side which also has access to North Grove. The aspects from the house are almost unrivalled given this central location in the village.
