Description
Set on one of Marylebone’s most desirable streets, this beautiful Grade II-listed townhouse sprawls across an expansive 4,182 sq. ft. Unfolding across six floors, the house is defined by its incredible period features, including vast sash windows, and original cornicing which is complemented by interior design which respects the building’s Georgian heritage. Entry is to a beautiful hallway, where a Calcutta Violetta marble fireplace makes a striking impression; matching fireplaces are found across the house. This room leads to the staircase, which runs through the centre of the building and is illuminated by a cleverly placed skylight. On the other side of the staircase, a tranquil dining room leads to a neat terrace. On the lower-ground floor, black-and-white chequered marble runs underfoot. In the kitchen, creamy shaker cabinetry conceals appliances. The gym is also situated on this floor and has a bathroom leading off it; this space has an adjoining terrace and could easily be converted into an ensuite bedroom. A vault completes this floor. On the first floor, two drawing rooms lie on either side of the staircase; in one, a smart bar is tucked into the corner and a pair of full-length French doors open to a Juliet balcony. The second floor is given over entirely to the master suite. In the bedroom, built-in wardrobes add storage while the ensuite bathroom is finished in the same marble as the fireplaces and has mirrored storage, which reflects the marble beautifully. On the third floor are two more ensuite bedrooms, while on the fourth floor, in the mansard of the building, a reception room and a bedroom lie on either side of a calming roof terrace and there is a useful shower room. A lift runs throughout the house, particularly unusual for a listed building. The back of the house looks out over a tranquil mews, with uninterrupted views of the elegant street. This also means the house is particularly light. Air conditioning runs throughout. Lying in the coveted Howard de Walden Estate and the heart of Marylebone Village, the house is moments away from all of London’s best shops and restaurants, not to mention numerous cultural attractions, the verdant greenery of Regent’s Park and both Harley Street and Oxford Street. Leasehold length of 908 years remaining.
