The Bishops Avenue, Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, N2

Introducing a modernist landmark on London’s most celebrated avenue.

Spanning approximately 1.35 Acres and set behind gates on The Bishops Avenue, Number 43 is a rare expression of contemporary architecture, extending to approximately 18,531 sq ft. Designed by Munkenbeck + Marshall, with interior architecture by Giancarlo Alhadeff and interior design by Jean-Pierre Tortil, the residence brings together honed limestone, warm timber and glass in a striking composition framed by mature trees and sweeping lawns.
Backing onto Highgate Golf Club, the house enjoys views across the course and complete privacy on all sides.

Inside, light flows through double-height volumes, cantilevered galleries and a sculptural spiral staircase, creating a sense of scale and architectural drama. Expansive
reception rooms provide an exceptional setting for entertaining, complemented by a dedicated dining room, bar, library, study and media room. The generous kitchen and
breakfast room form the heart of the home, while an extensive arrangement of bedrooms and dressing rooms offers remarkable flexibility for family living and guests.

A defining feature is the spectacular swimming pool, designed to transition seamlessly between indoor and outdoor living. On warm summer days, the glass partition between
the indoor and outdoor pool can be opened, while an opening skylight above brings natural light and fresh air into the space, creating an exceptional resort-like experience.
The wider leisure facilities include a gymnasium and sauna, complemented by landscaped terraces and a separate garden studio.

A substantial garage, staff accommodation, wine cellar and extensive ancillary spaces further enhance the practicality of this exceptional residence.

Despite its extraordinary scale and sense of seclusion, Number 43 remains just a short drive from Hampstead Heath and Central London.

In addition, there is implemented planning permission in place to extend the house to circa 27,000 sq ft.

The adjoining plot is also available by separate negotiation, which would extend the grounds to in excess of two acres.

Reception Rooms

Full-height windows open the principal rooms to the garden, while limestone floors, timber-lined walls and generous ceiling heights give the house a gallery-like presence suited to family life, entertaining and the display of art.

Dining & Kitchen

A formal dining room seats a large party, with
tall timber-framed doors opening onto the
terraces and gardens.

The generous kitchen and breakfast room form
the heart of the home, finished in oak and
stone with a professional range cooker and
views over the gardens.
