Hawking House – Penthouse, Mill Hill

Occupying the top floor of an intimate boutique block of just seventeen homes, Penthouse 16 at Hawking House delivers 1,846 sq ft of lateral luxury paired with 484 sq ft of private outdoor terraces. A triple aspect floods the interior with natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing, capturing protected, panoramic views across the Totteridge Valley. Finished with solid oak herringbone flooring throughout, the expansive living and dining area connects seamlessly to a bespoke Magnet kitchen fitted with Nordic in-frame cabinetry, Dekton stone worktops, a central island with Miele appliances, and a Liebherr double-door fridge. Two private terraces frame the home: a landscaped garden terrace designed for entertaining, and an eleven-metre-long private sanctuary accessed exclusively from the principal suite. This primary wing features a walk-in dressing area and an open marble en-suite with a freestanding bath positioned to take in uninterrupted valley vistas. Two further double bedrooms—one en-suite—are complemented by a luxury family bathroom, a separate Magnet utility room with Miele laundry appliances, a guest cloakroom, an allocated parking space, and a 990-year lease with zero ground rent.
Hawking House forms an exclusive address within Ridgeway Views, situated on the historic grounds of the former National Institute for Medical Research. Steeped in British heritage, the site was officially opened in 1950 by King George VI and Queen Elizabeth, later welcoming Princess Diana in 1988, with Hawking House named in tribute to the renowned parasitologist Dr Frank Hawking. Residents enjoy an elevated lifestyle supported by a twelve-hour concierge, a private on-site gymnasium, landscaped podium gardens, and woodland walking trails threading through the estate’s mature parkland.
Perched high on the Mill Hill ridge, the location couples rural village tranquility with swift access into Central London. The historic Adam & Eve pub is just a five-minute stroll away, while Waitrose, Marks & Spencer, Finchley Golf Club, and premier schools—including Mill Hill School, Belmont, and Grimsdell—are all within easy reach. Commuters benefit from Mill Hill East Underground providing Northern Line links to the West End and City in under thirty minutes, while Mill Hill Broadway offers direct Thameslink services to St Pancras International in nineteen minutes, alongside fast road connections via the M1 and A1.
