In London’s most prestigious neighbourhood, this five-bedroom family townhouse is a harmony of the eclectic and elegant, historic and cosmopolitan.
In the iconic locale of Westminster, this five-bedroom townhouse stands tall with a look of handsome heritage grandeur. Much like its esteemed neighbourhood, which sees a fantastic mix of London’s past and ever-evolving present, the home is a conversation between historic and contemporary design. Across its five expansive floors, expect an eclectic array of artwork, fabrics and furniture – showcasing a unique blend of the eccentric and sophisticated, the countrypile and cosmopolitan.
A portico entrance makes a refined first impression, leading through a hallway into the formal dining room. The historic architecture and design, including intricate ceiling cornicing, sash windows and a fireplace, are complemented by a series of eye-catching paintings and smart wooden furniture – it’s a welcoming setting for dinner parties. Across the hallway, there’s an uplifting, sunlit kitchen that’s centred by a marble-topped island and with plenty of space for culinary innovation. From here, a set of steps leads down into a cosy living room, with an L-shaped sofa, additional dining table and grand piano to soundtrack your nights in. From here, there’s steps up to the home’s private terrace. It’s a tranquil suntrap to make the most of London’s sunnier days, bordered with plants and flowers.
Social life continues across both the lower ground and first floors. There’s an erudite feel to the basement level living room, where bright yellow walls are punctuated by integrated bookshelves – with a wealth of titles, both literary and film, to choose from. Upstairs in the first-floor formal reception room, things take a curatorial turn with a host of eye-catching artwork and muted-blue seating that’s poised for conversation. Across the corridor there’s a peaceful study with a sophisticated antique desk. Once you’ve finished work, you can fully decompress in the gym room.
A thoroughly elegant affair, the principal bedroom suite occupies the home’s second floor. Soft carpets run underfoot, while a trio of sash windows diffuse light across the spacious proportions. This refined feel continues in the en suite bathroom, where pale tones and natural light create a calming ambiance for the marble-topped bathtub.
As for the four additional bedrooms, they showcase a range of engaging designs and offer space for everyone to switch off. There’s a twin room that feels akin to an English country cottage, with a wooden ceiling beam, gingham curtains and sculpted bed frames. Or find a minimalist guest bedroom suite on the lower-ground floor, which is bathed in natural light and enjoys built-in wardrobes. A contemporary family bathroom on the third storey serves these spaces, featuring a relaxing bathtub.
