How long have discerning apartment buyers thirsted for a new development which has all the overtures of the best in Mayfair but located locally in The Bishops Avenue, arguably one of the best-known roads in the world?
Wait no longer, my good friends, the exciting scheme – Bishops Avenue Gardens – is now a reality and almost upon us.
We have always revered the prime central London market as being the mecca for good taste and elegant living, but up until now, no one has had the courage or foresight to bring all these illustrious talents to Hampstead.
We can now proudly announce that the ‘top drawer’ developers, Valouran, whose accolades include: ‘The Best of Grosvenor Square’ and their flagship development – The Whiteley – which ‘single handedly’, has recalibrated luxury living in Queensway and Bayswater, have chosen Hampstead to show off their wares.
Bishops Avenue Gardens is set in over two acres of mature, manicured gardens, in the most cherished southern part of The Bishops Avenue.
With thirty-six lip smackingly, enticing apartments to choose from, ranging from 2-4 bedrooms, all with sizeable balconies or terraces, one is not short for choice.
This development is bristling with all those desirable, modern, uber luxury features such as tall ceilings, wall to wall windows and semi-rural views over the gardens and London’s skyline. The fittings are all state of the art and whisper understated dignity in a classic, modern context, which we believe would be a perfect suit for the buyer, fortunate enough to secure a residence in the scheme.
As you would expect, there is a naturally lit, fully fitted wellness centre with a glass walled-indoor pool, fully fitted gym, sauna, residents’ function room and even a private library, all designed to envelop the residents and promote ‘rest and repose’.
Residential developments in London today are becoming increasingly car-less, yet at Bishops Avenue Gardens, there is an ample, secure, underground car park, with a twenty-four-hour concierge and security service to make home owners feel completely at ease.
This development is the handiwork of the celebrated firm of architects Pilbrow & Partners, interior design and architecture studio Albion Nord and landscaping experts PAD Landscapes, who have been given carte blanche to create this flagship scheme which they’re only too proud to be a statement of the “best in class”.
Over the last 125 years, The Bishops Avenue has morphed from being the hunting grounds of ‘The Bishops’ to a convenient, exclusive address which is nestled between the quaint, historic, medieval villages of Hampstead and Highgate.
Since time immemorial, aristocracy have wanted to escape the urban pollution of the City of London, to embrace and sip the healing waters of leafy Hampstead.
In times gone by, the horse and carriages of ‘the great and the good’ were seen climbing the cobbled stone, hilly roads, from London to Hampstead.
Unfortunately, some received far more attention than they would have liked from the local highwayman, Dick Turpin, whose tools of trade (pistol) are still displayed on the walls of the local tavern, The Spaniards Inn, which is located at the former toll gate which was the entrance to Hampstead Heath and The Bishops Avenue beyond.
Somewhat uniquely, for any Metropolis in the world where the location is so close to the centre, there are two upmarket golf courses within walking distance, a selection of the finest schools in the world and some 800 acres of green, open spaces on the doorstep, the latter being Hampstead Heath. The Bishops Avenue is truly special.
The combination of super luxury living provided by a developer of Valouran’s excellence and provenance in the Hampstead area has never been available hitherto and Glentree believes that this will be reflected in an unquenchable thirst for the apartments in this exciting development. An opportunity not to be missed!
Is it any wonder that iconic characters such as Billy Butlin, Gracie Fields, Lakshmi Mittal, the Brunei Royal Family and a host of diplomats and dignitaries have chosen to reside in this tree lined avenue?
As desirable as The Bishops Avenue may have been in the past, there has never been such an affordable product hitherto, offering state of the art living which is so appropriate in today’s world.
Not without good reason is The Bishops Avenue known as the ‘Rolls Royce’ of north London’s prime addresses and Glentree is privileged to be associated with this brand new, luxury development, Bishops Avenue Gardens.
The queue starts here, and we recommend that you should treat yourself to a visit and we know you will not be disappointed. Early reservations will always secure the right apartment for you.
Snooze and you lose!
