108, Frognal, London, NW3 6XU

A rarely available architectural jewel in the heart of historic Hampstead Village.

Set behind a discreet gated entrance and walled front garden, this is one of Hampstead’s most treasured private residences - a Grade II listed home of exceptional provenance, architectural significance, and quiet grandeur.

Believed to date from the early 18th century, it is one of the oldest surviving houses in Hampstead, and offers approximately 4,300 sq ft of beautifully proportioned and remarkably adaptable lateral accommodation.

On the market for the first time in over 35 years, the house is constructed in traditional brown brick with distinctive historic features - including a two-storey gabled porch, segmental arched windows, and elegant period detailing - the house comprises what were originally three Georgian-era dwellings, later unified into a single residence of rare charm and character.

The house retains many period features with exquisite fireplaces and working shutters in many of the rooms.

A home of rich narrative and cultural importance, it has served many roles over the centuries.

In the 18th century it was a public house known variously as The Three Pigeons and The Duke of Cumberland.

In the 20th century, it became the long-time residence of celebrated prima ballerina Tamara Karsavina, a founding star of the Ballets Russes, whose legacy is honoured with a blue plaque from English Heritage.

In more recent years, it was home to the musician Sting, adding a modern cultural resonance to its historic soul.

Beyond its storied walls lies a magnificent, landscaped rear garden - unusually wide for Hampstead and exquisitely planted - offering rare serenity and privacy.

An enchanting roof terrace crowns the house, affording extraordinary panoramic views across London’s skyline - an unexpected and utterly breath taking feature.

Frognal is one of Hampstead’s most exclusive addresses - a quiet, tree-lined street steeped in history and populated by architecturally important homes.

Moments from Hampstead Village, the property enjoys close proximity to Keats House, Kenwood House, and the expanses of Hampstead Heath - offering open air swimming, ancient woodland, and uninterrupted views across London.

The area offers a superb blend of privacy, prestige, and accessibility, with outstanding local schools, acclaimed dining, artisan food shops, and excellent transport links via Hampstead Underground (Northern Line) and mainline rail services.
