Shepherds Close, Highgate, London N6

Imagine a contemporary home set against a backdrop of mature trees, in a quiet cul-de-sac in Highgate, London N6, four minutes' walk from the Tube. This vacant freehold self-build plot directly adjoins the Parkland Walk, within the Highgate Conservation Area, and comes with planning granted for a contemporary single-storey eco home.

Please note that no dwelling has yet been built. The accommodation described below is what the planning consent permits, not existing accommodation.

The consented home
Planning permission was granted by the London Borough of Haringey on 30 March 2026 under reference hgy/2025/1552. The consented design provides approximately 76 sq. M / 818 sq. Ft of single-storey accommodation, together with private amenity space, a cycle store and refuse and recycling storage. The approved drawings show an entrance, two bedrooms and a bathroom, with the living, kitchen and dining areas arranged as one open-plan space along a glazed wall facing that amenity space. Buyers considering a different internal arrangement should take their own planning and architectural advice before relying on it.

The approved building is low and horizontal, stepping with the natural fall of the site and sitting against the green edge of the Parkland Walk for a green, leafy outlook. The approved material palette is Staffordshire blue brick with white mosaic tile detailing, beneath a biodiverse green roof.

Designed for low-energy living
Sustainability is built into the consent rather than added later. The scheme includes an air source heat pump, solar photovoltaic panels, enhanced energy performance and biodiversity-focused landscaping, giving you an eco home from day one.

Life on the green edge
Shepherds Close is a quiet residential cul-de-sac, tucked away from passing traffic. The plot sits alongside the Parkland Walk, a much-loved green corridor running between Highgate and Finsbury Park and popular for walking, running and cycling. Queen's Wood is about 12 minutes away on foot, and Highgate Village, with its independent shops, cafés and restaurants, is around 17 minutes' walk.

Getting into town
Highgate Underground station (Northern line) is a 4-minute walk, with Tottenham Court Road around 24 minutes door to door. Archway Road bus routes are also close by.

Who it suits
A design-led self-builder, an architect-led buyer, or anyone who wants to create a one-off contemporary home in Highgate, combining privacy, greenery and an easy commute. If you've been searching for a building plot with planning permission in north London, this one comes with consent in place, a green setting and the Tube four minutes away.
