The property boasts a rich history spanning several centuries. Hunter’s Lodge was built on the site of an earlier property that was once part of the estate of Belsize House, a late-15th-century manor and lodge house that Henry VIII gifted to the dean of Westminster following the dissolution in 1542.

Over the centuries this historic Belsize Park estate has played to host to Spencer Perceval, who later became British Prime Minister, and William Tate – a relative of the Tate & Lyle dynasty – who demolished the property and commissioned the building of Hunter’s Lodge on the site. The lodge was featured in Country Life in 1943.

“Reminiscent in style of Royal Lodge in Windsor, the Belsize Village property represents excellent value for money on a price per square foot basis compared to values just further south in locations such as Primrose Hill and St John’s Wood.”, said Mark Pollack, CoFounding Director at Aston Chase.
