Kenwood Place – London’s new trophy address

10th February 2010 Print
Kenwood Place

Knightsbridge has One Hyde Park, Kensington has Phillimore Square and now Hampstead and Highgate have Kenwood Place. Arguably North London’s most exclusive new trophy address offers the very best of the best - Belgravia luxury in the leafy historic suburbs of N6.

This new collection of exquisite apartments offers a rare opportunity to live next to Hampstead Heath and its 800 acres of open countryside, parkland and woods. Set in private, gated, landscaped grounds complete with ancient trees and its very own private entrance into the heath, Kenwood Place comprises 21 apartments, five of which are penthouses located in three buildings, each benefiting from 24-hour concierge services. 

Designed by award-winning architect David Chipperfield, each sculpted building is finished in warm natural Northumberland stone with floor to ceiling bronzed windows.  Private terraces have been designed to bring the outside in and become part of the rooms offering private, sheltered outdoor space. The end result is an architecturally dynamic, innovative and bespoke scheme that offers one of the most desirable and striking new build developments in the UK, and is the last new build development for sale on Hampstead Heath. 

Trevor Abrahmsohn, Glentree International, comments: “Kenwood Place is truly one of a kind. Throughout our 35 years of selling properties in North London we have never had a development like it – Kenwood Place really does tick all the boxes. The apartments have been very successful to date and we are now over 70% sold. They have appealed to all types of buyers including local residents wanting to upgrade to modern lateral living, to international buyers looking for a secure prestigious London base with a top quality specification.”

Space, light, cool design, lateral living, excellent security and complete privacy are the key elements of Kenwood Place.  Natural light floods into the apartments through the huge windows. Spacious rooms, unusual high ceilings, window security shutters, solid wood floors, fireplaces and bespoke features reflect the quality and design in each living space.   

This exclusive development also includes  a private health club with gym, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and apartments come complete with secure underground parking spaces and a handy storage room. Each building which is home to just seven apartments has  24-hour on-site concierge service, provided by Harrods Estates Asset Management, which provides a six star hotel-style service organising anything from grocery shopping to theatre tickets or helicopter charters.

Security is one of the highest priorities for Kenwood Place. The on-site team are able to control and monitor all access into the development from a central high-tech control point, in addition CCTV is recorded and monitored 24 hours a day. All visitors are screened by the concierge team, with only authorised visitors being admitted. Regular, discreet patrols and valet parking service promote a secure and welcoming environment.

Kenwood Place, which takes its name from nearby Kenwood House, an elegant 17th century Adam mansion, is located between Hampstead and Highgate, two of the capital’s most fashionable and historic villages. This trendy part of London has old streets crammed with boutiques, one off shops, trendy bars, cafés and prestigious restaurants and is home to a host of celebrities.

For active types the local area benefits from two golf courses and tennis courts, while some of the country’s leading independent schools including Highgate School, St Margaret’s and Royal School are a short journey away.  

Hampstead and Highgate are well served by local transport links – both are situated on the northern line and provide journeys times into central London of just 20 minutes. The A1 and M1 motorways are a short drive away providing links to the rest of the country as well as Heathrow, Luton and Stansted airports.

Prices for the remaining apartments start from £3.75 million. Viewings are by appointment only. For further information visit kenwoodplace.co.uk.
