Bracken Knoll

Highgate, London

Leading our first Fine Interiors sale of 2022 will be the selected contents from the London house, Bracken Knoll.  This interior-design-led home is set on one of North London’s most-coveted private roads, Courtenay Avenue, and sits parallel to The Bishops Avenue, nicknamed ‘Billionaires’ Row’.  Perfectly situated only moments away from the gates of Kenwood House and Hampstead Heath, this elegant residence has been lovingly decorated by its previous owners with a collection of furniture, paintings and hand-picked decorative arts, drawing inspiration from the timeless American interiors of Ralph Lauren.  Together, these items formed a stylish, sophisticated and comfortable home, and Sworders is delighted to offer them for sale on behalf of the owners.
