DescriptionThe site extends to approximately c.0.89 acres (0.36 hectares) and occupies a quiet position at the end of a private cul-de-sac.
It currently comprises a large detached house extending to 11,840 sq ft (1,100 sq m) with 17 bedrooms and 24 habitable rooms plus ancillary facilities. There is a large garden to the rear containing 5 outbuildings. The largest of these is a single storey building that originally contained a swimming pool but has since been turned into ancillary accommodation.
The existing buildings are in extremely poor condition and are currently uninhabitable. The property has been vacant since January 2010.

Planning The site was granted full planning permission in September 2014 (Ref HGY/2014/1901) for ‘Demolition of Nice Place including garden pavilion and other out buildings and erection of replacement dwelling with a basement and two new garden pavilions with associated hard and soft landscaping works.’
A Certificate of Lawfulness dated August 2017 (Ref HGY/2017/2442) confirms that the planning permission was implemented by way of an area of piling to 1 metre in depth being filled and left ready for piling contractors. Furthermore, all of the relevant pre-commencement conditions were discharged during 2017.
This planning permission was an amendment to a previous planning application (Ref HGY/2011/1037) which included both Nice Place and the adjacent property, Far End, as a single development plot.
Consented scheme The permitted scheme will replace the poor quality existing buildings with an exceptional new 6 bed house with extensive living space and an artist studio pavilion in the garden to the rear. The footprint of the existing building will be extended and additional accommodation created within the roof space. A new single storey basement extension will provide staff accommodation, car parking and leisure facilities including a cinema, gym and swimming pool.
There will be car parking for 3 vehicles at the front of the house on the proposed driveway as well as underground parking for 4 vehicles in the proposed basement accessed via a car lift.

We understand that none of the trees on the site are subject to a Tree Preservation Order (TPO). However, there are a number of trees and root protection areas that the planning permission takes into account.
The development has been sensitively designed around the concept of the ‘Rural Villa’ that defines the surrounding area in order to make a positive contribution to the Highgate Conservation Area.

First Floor Plan
Enhanced schemeThe vendor submitted a planning application for an enhanced scheme in May 2020. The key alterations include increased width, depth and height of the proposed building as well as the creation of a second basement.
Prior to the application, the vendor attended two pre-application meetings with the Council who verbally agreed to these amendments in principle. The only topic of debate was the design of the proposed portico at the front of the building.
The enhanced scheme would provide an additional 13,326 sq ft of accommodation, of which 2,748 sq ft would be at ground floor level or above.
