Houses to Buy

An extremely rare opportunity to purchase an imposing detached stucco four storey villa (527.2 sq m/5,675 sq ft) which has not been offered for sale on the open market since 1945.

On the raised ground floor the house features a grand drawing room and at garden level, a large contemporary family room forming a visually striking juxtaposition with the period architecture of the main house and affording direct access to the beautiful, large, secluded walled rear garden.

The house has a hipped roof, symmetrical three bay front elevation with steps up to central entrance porch and with Corinthian pilasters to entablature between the third and fourth floors.

This remarkable Victorian home which was first occupied in 1866 is situated to the south of Steeles Road within the Eton Conservation Area in a very quiet section of the road, between Eton Road and Steeles Road, thus nestled between Belsize Park and Primrose Hill on a section of the street with very little if any through traffic.

The house once served as home to philanthropist and pioneer in the field of industrial life assurance, Sir Henry Harben (1823-1911), who also became Hampstead’s first mayor in 1900 and it was comprehensively modernised by the existing owners in 2017 seamlessly blending the existing period features with a contemporary style and in 2019, the exterior of the property underwent a total restoration overseen by conservation specialists.

Seaford Lodge now provides well planned versatile family accommodation featuring an abundance of natural light, high ceilings, floor to ceiling windows on the ground floor and a self-contained garden level apartment which has existing planning consent to be integrated back into the main house if required.

The property is within easy reach of the green open spaces of both Primrose Hill & Hampstead Heath and also benefits from numerous local shops and restaurants in Steele’s Village whilst there are excellent transport links into central London from nearby Chalk Farm (Northern Line) and Swiss Cottage (Jubilee Line) Underground Stations.

There are also a plethora of outstanding local schools in Belsize Park, Swiss Cottage and Hampstead including UCS Hampstead, South Hampstead High School, The Hall School, Trevor Roberts School, Sarum Hall School, Northbridge House amongst others.
