6 bed detached house for sale

Cavendish Avenue, London NW8

Lying behind gates on one of St John’s Wood’s most sought-after streets, this striking low-built villa unfolds across more than 8,600 sq ft. Completed in 2004, the house is arranged laterally, a rare find in London, and combines a sense of privacy with extraordinary scale.

Inside, the interiors balance openness with intimacy. A sequence of reception rooms, including a drawing room, dining room, family room and study, flow into one another, each space connected yet distinct. The kitchen and adjoining breakfast room sit at the heart of the home, with a pantry and utility space adding everyday ease.

Upstairs, the principal suite spans an entire floor, complete with two walk-in dressing rooms, a large bathroom and a private terrace. Four further bedrooms are arranged with their own bathrooms or shower rooms, while a sixth bedroom, with kitchenette and ensuite, can be approached independently via a secondary staircase or external entrance, perfect for staff or guests.

The lower ground floor is devoted to leisure. A spa area with swimming pool, steam room and jacuzzi is paired with a large gym, while a cinema room is perfect for quiet nights in. Light filters down through the central courtyard garden, which forms a green oasis in the centre of the house, joined by landscaped terraces and a front garden.

Practical needs are met with a car lift to two concealed underground parking spaces, additional secure off-street parking on the driveway, multiple plant rooms, and staff facilities.

Cavendish Avenue is the perfect quiet road moments from St John’s Wood High Street, with its cafés, restaurants and boutiques. Lord’s Cricket Ground and Regent’s Park are within easy reach, while the American School in London is nearby. St John’s Wood Underground (Jubilee Line) is a short walk away, with direct links into the West End.
