designed by the distinguished architect horace field and first occupied in 1890, the hoo is one of hampstead′s most remarkable private residences. this grade ii listed arts and crafts house is undergoing an ambitious transformation, creating an exceptional estate extending to approximately 11,711 sq ft.
positioned on lyndhurst gardens, the hoo will bring together the original historic house with two beautifully designed contemporary residences. thoughtfully linked internally, the three houses will function either as one substantial family estate or as separate yet connected homes, offering a degree of flexibility rarely found in london.
the scheme has been designed to respect the character of the original building while introducing a contemporary architectural language. period detailing, generous proportions and historic features are being carefully preserved, while glazed links, terraces and light-filled living spaces will strengthen the connection between the house and its gardens.
the principal house will remain at the heart of the estate. a series of impressive reception rooms will provide exceptional spaces for entertaining, while the kitchen and dining room have been designed to balance scale with warmth and practicality. throughout, original features will sit comfortably alongside contemporary finishes and integrated technology, creating spaces that feel both timeless and functional.
upon completion, the accommodation will comprise thirteen bedrooms, ten of which will be ensuite, arranged across the three interconnected houses. a cinema room, gym, extensive utility and storage areas will further enhance the estate, while lift access, integrated security systems and smart-home technology will be discreetly incorporated throughout.
the south-facing gardens will play an integral role in the design, wrapping around the estate to provide privacy, greenery and a variety of spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. upper terraces will enjoy far-reaching views across london, while many of the principal rooms will open directly onto landscaped outdoor spaces.
designed by bowker sadler partnership, with interiors by internationally acclaimed practice yu qiang & partners, every aspect of the redevelopment has been approached with exceptional attention to detail. upon completion, the estate will offer a rare combination of architectural significance, contemporary design and remarkable versatility.
the hoo is moments from hampstead village, belsize village and the open expanses of hampstead heath. combining architectural pedigree, exceptional design and a highly sought-after setting, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire one of north london′s most significant private residential estates.
