6 bed terraced house for sale

North End Way, Hampstead, London NW3

Distinguished double fronted Grade II Listed period house

Description
Occupying one of the highest points in North London, approximately 134m (440 ft) above sea level, the Old Court House commands magnificent views across Hampstead Heath.

Set discreetly behind a walled and gated driveway, this distinguished double-fronted Grade II listed residence combines early 18th century origins with refined later additions, offering approximately 3,507 sq ft of elegant family accommodation arranged over four floors.

A spectacular double-volume reception hall, complete with a striking period fireplace, sets the tone for the ground floor. This level also provides an elegant reception room with three floor-to-ceiling windows and a bespoke feature bar, a well-proportioned study/home office and a guest cloakroom.

The garden level offers superb family living space, comprising a generous family room, a kitchen/dining room with direct access onto the terrace and garden, a walk-in pantry, utility room and a further guest cloakroom.

The first floor is dedicated to a luxurious principal suite, featuring a large ensuite bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower enjoying tranquil garden views, and an adjoining dressing room which may also serve as a sixth bedroom. A second double bedroom and a family bathroom are accessed via a beautifully galleried walkway overlooking the reception hall below, a distinctive architectural flourish echoing the property’s historic character.

The second (top) floor provides three additional bedrooms, one with an ensuite bathroom, together with a further family bathroom, offering excellent flexibility for family living or guest accommodation.

Externally, the house enjoys a 41 ft paved terrace, with steps descending to a private 90 ft lawned rear garden, enhanced by a sense of privacy created by mature planting and the house’s elevated position. The property also benefits from air conditioning and secure parking for two cars behind the gated driveway.

Formerly known as Heath View and Earlsmead, The Old Court House forms part of a notable historic cluster at the summit of Hampstead, adjacent to the Heath and close to Jack Straw’s Castle. Its architectural significance is reflected in its handsome multi-coloured stock brick façade, classical gauged-brick sash windows and distinguished doorway-features preserved under its official Grade II listing.

The upper section of the garden is held on a long lease of 999 years from 1 March 2007.
