Location

Hocroft Road occupies a particularly desirable position within the Hocroft Estate, one of North West London’s most established and highly regarded residential areas.

Characterised by substantial detached houses, generous plots and wide tree lined roads, the area has a wonderfully peaceful and private feel while remaining extremely well connected to Hampstead, West Hampstead and Central London.

The property is superbly placed for the cafés, restaurants, boutiques and everyday amenities of Hampstead Village, West Hampstead and Finchley Road, while the open spaces of Hampstead Heath are also within easy reach.

The area is particularly popular with families, with access to many of North West London’s leading schools as well as the numerous recreational and cultural amenities associated with Hampstead and the surrounding neighbourhoods.

Transport connections are excellent, with Finchley Road providing access to the Jubilee and Metropolitan lines and fast connections into the West End, City and Canary Wharf.
West Hampstead provides an additional transport hub with the Jubilee line, London Overground and Thameslink services, offering excellent connectivity across London and beyond.
Despite this excellent accessibility, Hocroft Road retains the calm, leafy and predominantly residential character for which the Hocroft Estate is so highly regarded, making it an exceptional setting for a substantial family home of this calibre.
