Frognal has a romantic presence that speaks for itself. Set behind private gates in the heart of Hampstead Village, this six-bedroomed Georgian home spans more than 4,300 sq ft, with a south-facing garden, a roof terrace with panoramic skyline views and off-street parking for up to seven cars – a rare combination in this part of London. Grade II-listed and originally built as three townhouses in the early 18th century, the property boasts a rich backstory. It was once a pub, later home to prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina – commemorated with a blue plaque – and more recently owned by Sting. Today, it feels effortlessly residential, wrapped in foliage and set well back from the road, offering a sense of calm and seclusion that’s hard to come by.
Inside, period features are met with a thoughtful layout designed for contemporary living. There’s a formal drawing room and separate dining space, a sleek kitchen opening into a glass-roofed conservatory, and a second kitchen tucked into what was once the coach house – now reimagined as a generous entertaining space. Upstairs, the principal suite stretches across the full width of the house, with its own dressing room, bathroom and study. There are five further bedrooms, three additional bathrooms, and a rooftop terrace that opens up to long, uninterrupted views across the Capital. Offered to the market for the first time in over 35 years, Frognal is a true one-off – rich in character, big on space, and beautifully placed in one of Hampstead’s most sought-after corners.
