103-acre country estate in Mill Hill with a grand manor house, formal gardens and professional equestrian facilities.

Set in the rolling countryside of Mill Hill, just nine miles from Central London, Highwood Lodge Farm Estate is an exceptional residential and equestrian estate occupying a rare position within a London postcode. The principal residence sits in an elevated position within mature gardens, approached via a sweeping lime tree avenue from Highwood Hill and complemented by formal gardens, five cottages and flats, a pool house, tennis court and extensive equestrian facilities. The estate is available as a whole or in two separate lots. Inside, the manor house provides impressive accommodation arranged across four floors. The principal reception rooms are centred around an entrance hall of real presence, with a voluminous drawing room featuring a double-height ceiling, large marble fireplace, ornate plasterwork and panelling. Abundant natural light fills the room through double-height windows, with the adjacent south-east facing conservatory opening directly onto the terrace and gardens beyond. A formal study and double-aspect dining room complete the ground floor reception spaces, while the kitchen and breakfast room provide a more relaxed gathering space at the heart of the house. On the lower ground floor, a secondary kitchen and reception room with a grand marble mantelpiece and French doors to the garden provide additional space for entertaining, alongside a wine cellar, boot room, dog room and secondary office. The principal suite occupies a private position on the first floor, approached by its own staircase, and features linen-lined walls, an ornate fireplace, a spacious dressing room and a well-appointed ensuite bathroom. Three further bedrooms on this level include two en-suites, with two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom above. A large loft room with access to a south-east facing roof terrace offers potential as a further bedroom, with sweeping views across the gardens and parkland. The pool house is a striking two-storey building of 2,471 sq ft, with the indoor swimming pool on the upper floor and ancillary accommodation below, including a reception room, kitchen and changing facilities. Solar panels sit on the roof. The recently refurbished outdoor tennis court lies adjacent, well screened by mature hedging. The formal gardens are among the finest features of the estate. Stone steps descend from the front terrace to south-east facing gardens laid out with an avenue of olive trees, meticulously crafted box topiary and a central fountain. A raised pond feeds into a central stepped canal pond flanked by sculpted topiary and expansive lawns, with the garden sloping gently towards two sizable ponds teeming with birdlife and connected by a raised walkway. The grounds benefit from an irrigation system and floodlighting throughout, with the boundaries naturally screened by mature broadleaf and coniferous trees. A productive fruit and vegetable garden is laid out in the form of a cart wheel, with apricot, peach and pear trees, multiple greenhouses, potting sheds and a treehouse. The equestrian facilities are exceptional, comprising 14 loose boxes, tack rooms, feed rooms, accommodation for grooms, a five-horse walker, six furlong gallops, a cross-country course designed by Captain Mark Phillips and an Olympic-size outdoor arena suitable for dressage, show jumping and polo. The estate encompasses 79 acres of pastureland and 7 acres of woodland, extending to 103 acres in total.Show more
