Hillside Gardens, London, N6

The Property
This exceptionally spacious five-bedroom modernist house is the largest property on Hillside Gardens within the renowned Southwood House Estate in Highgate.

Designed by architects Andrews, Emerson, Sherlock & Keable in the 1960s, this end-terrace home has been sympathetically extended in-period, offering expansive living spaces, modern amenities, and a unique blend of mid-century character and contemporary comfort.

The ground floor welcomes you into a light-filled, double-height dining area, further illuminated by a modern statement chandelier, seamlessly flowing into a large main reception room. These interconnected spaces, each with floor-to-ceiling period exterior doors, open onto the Japanese-inspired rear garden, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. The contemporary kitchen complements the overall aesthetic of the home.

On other side of the property is a second large reception room. This room leads to a downstairs toilet, shower, and laundry room, and has its own rear garden access, making it well-suited to function as a self-contained annexe, ideal for guests or extended family.

Ascending the open-tread staircase, the first floor houses five well-appointed bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom, complete with an adjoining walk-in wardrobe/dressing room, overlooks the rear garden. A similarly sized guest bedroom features a built-in wardrobe and offers views over the green space at the front of the house.

Two additional bedrooms, currently used as offices, overlook the garden and the front of the property, respectively. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a music and reading room, but is more than spacious enough to accommodate a double bed. All bedrooms benefit from large windows that flood the rooms with natural light.

The primary bathroom is double-height and is fitted with a bath and shower. There are two separate upstairs toilets; one is equipped with a Japanese bidet toilet seat.

Outside
The property’s outdoor spaces are just as impressive as the interiors. The rear garden is a tranquil, Japanese-inspired retreat, which is protected from being overlooked by the tall, lush greenery surrounding the space. Direct access from the rear garden leads to a massive, private communal garden, dotted with benches exclusively for residents of the Southwood House Estate. This beautifully maintained area is perfect for socializing with neighbours, enhancing the strong community feel of the estate.

Parking
The property features a secure, heated garage, currently used to store a classic car, with the potential to be converted into living space or opened up to create an expansive open-plan ground floor. Parking is further enhanced with a private driveway and access to residents' on-road parking via a permit. Additional storage space is available in the loft.

General Information
Southwood House Estate was developed on the former site of the 18th-century Southwood House. Set on a triangular plot, the estate is bordered by Jacksons Lane, Hillside Gardens, and Southwood Lane, and consists of 43 houses. During the estate’s development, considerable care was taken to preserve the natural landscape, including many mature trees. True to mid-century design principles, the estate prioritizes shared outdoor spaces, with central communal gardens, accessed directly from the houses’ rear gardens, making full use of the generous grounds that once surrounded Southwood House.

Location
Situated a 2-minute walk from Highgate Underground Station, the house is ideally positioned for easy access to central London via the 134 and 43 bus routes. Tottenham Court Road is just 20 minutes door to door via the Northern Line, while the A1 provides a quick escape from the city by car.

Public green spaces such as Highgate Woods, Waterlow Park and Hampstead Heath are a short walk away.

Highgate Village, with its array of charming cafés, restaurants, pubs, and convenient supermarkets, is within easy reach. At the end of the road, you’ll find The Grocery Post, a high-end deli offering baked goods from St John, cheese from La Fromagerie, and coffee from Monmouth. The area is also home to excellent state and private schools, including Highgate School, Highgate Primary School, St Michael’s Primary School and Channing.
