6 bed detached house for sale

North End Avenue, London NW3

On the market for the first time in 49 years is Pitt House, a low built five/six bedroom detached Georgian style home, which is set back from the road behind a 107' front garden and gravel driveway, occupying magnificent grounds of almost ½ an acre.

The house sits on the site of a mansion which was built by Charles Dingley in the 1760's and in 1767 became the convalescent home of former Prime Minister William Pitt the Elder, 1st Earl of Chatham. The mansion was also owned by Ian Fleming's father, Valentine, who acquired it in 1909. Originally it had been known as North End House, later Wildwoods and then North End Place. Valentine renamed it Pitt House in honour of William Pitt.

Arranged over only two floors, the current property which was built circa 1948 comprises approximately 3144 square feet (292 sq. M.), with an unconverted 1100 square feet (104 sq. M.) loft and features a magnificent, well established 117' x 99' south west facing garden to the rear, with extensive off street parking to the front, and a self-contained one bedroom annex.

The house lends itself to further expansion or subject to planning permission (London Borough of Camden) there is an opportunity for a buyer to create a stunning bespoke home, on one of the largest plots in the area.

North End Avenue is an exclusive no through road, resembling a country lane, that leads directly on to Hampstead Heath and moments from Golders Hill Park. Hampstead Village is within easy reach, less than a mile away, with its multitude of cafes, restaurants, boutique and Underground Station (Northern Line).
