Designed in 1958, this exemplary mid-century house on Hillside Gardens forms part of Highgate’s notable Southwood House Estate. The current owners have paid homage to the architect’s mid-century ethos with a carefully chosen tapestry of materials that respond to the house’s original composition. A stepped garden at the rear has been thoughtfully planted to evolve throughout the seasons: cherry blossom and Japanese acer erupt with colour in spring, while a mature fig emits a sweet fragrance in summer. For more of the great outdoors, Hampstead Heath is only a short walk away – as is Highgate Station for connections across London.
