An Exceptional Residential Development Opportunity in Highgate, North London.

About this property

  • The site extends to approximately 0.49 hectares (1.21 acres) and comprises two separate residential dwellings (that are individually rated for council tax) with extensive gardens including a large natural pond. The existing property extends approximately 3,800 sq ft (370 m) GIA and is presented in good, albeit dated condition over two stories. It benefits from private parking accessed from Fitzroy Park and two additional rear access points onto the heath. The property is surrounded by mature trees, providing a natural screen of privacy to the heath. It is situated on a private road that descends from the hill from The Grove in Highgate to the corner of the Fishing Pond on the heath. The property is for sale freehold under the Titles NGL696866, NGL724587 and NGL724585.

Local information

  • The property is situated in a calm and tranquil setting on Fitzroy Park; a private road and one of Highgate’s most desirable streets abutting Hampstead Heath.
  • Fitzroy Park adjoins Millfield Lane and runs alongside the north eastern edge of Hampstead Heath. The property is located in the London Borough of Camden and falls within the boundary of the Highgate
  • Conservation Area.
  • ‘Highgate Village’ is merely 0.9 km (0.5 miles) to the north east of the property, providing a variety of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants, whilst the expansive Hampstead Heath neighbours the property to the south. Both Highgate and Hampstead Golf Courses are also within 1.6 km (1 mile).

Additional information

  • The Property falls within the jurisdiction of the London Borough of Camden and is situated in the Highgate conservation area. It is not Listed.
  • The existing lawful use of the Property falls under Class C3 of the Town & Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987.
  • A planning application (reference no. 2018/3672/P) was refused in March
  • 2022 for:
  • “Demolition of all existing buildings on the site and their replacement with five detached dwelling houses (Class C3)(comprising three part 2 part 3 storey houses at front facing Fitzroy Park and two part 1 part 2 storey houses at rear adjoining Millfield Lane) plus associated driveways, access paths, car parking, landscaping and pond enhancements”.
  • Whilst the planning application was refused primarily due to over development of the site, the officers report comments that there were no fundamental objections to the development of Plots 1-3 fronting Fitzroy Park, broadly on the footprint of the existing dwellings. Plots 4 and 5, however, were significantly larger in size and were abutting the heath. On the basis of the previous planning application, a scheme of 1 very substantial house, 2 large houses or 3 modest houses is likely to be achievable, subject to the requisite consents.
