Fancy a £10m kickabout? A plot the size of a football pitch – or 20 tennis courts if rackets are more your thing – has gone on salenext to Hampstead Heath.
55 & 55a Fitzroy Park in Highgate comprises a 1.21-acre site in one of the priciest parts of London.
As well as its vast acreage, the site boasts two residential homes (a single home and accompanying annex), which have extensive gardens and a large natural pond.
The existing property extends to approximately 3,800 square feet and is presented in good, albeit dated, condition, over two storeys. It also benefits from private parking accessed from Fitzroy Park, along with two additional rear access points.
Despite being adjacent to the Heath, the property is surrounded by mature trees, providing a natural screen of privacy, while still givinginhabitants easy access to its miles of greenery, famous ponds and views of Parliament Hill.
The calm and tranquil setting boasts enormous potential for someone willing to take it on; should a buyer want to develop the plot, on the basis of a previous planning application, a scheme of one, two or three houses is likely to be achievable, subject to the usual constraints.
Fitzroy Park adjoins Millfield Lane and runs alongside the stunning, northeastern edge of Hampstead Heath, while Highgate Village is just 0.5 miles to the northeast of the property, providing a variety of boutique shops, cafés and restaurants.
The property is located in the London Borough of Camden and falls within the boundary of the Highgate Conservation Area. Famous inhabitants in the area include Kate Moss, Jude Law and Jamie Oliver, who can often be seen dog-walking or exercising on the Heath.
Darren Arnold, Director in the London Land Team at Savills, says: “This sale represents an exceptional residential development opportunity on one of Highgate’s most desirable streets. Opportunities like this in such an enviable location are incredibly rare and will appeal to owner occupiers and developers alike.”
