A distinguished Grade II listed freehold residence of rare architectural provenance, offering 4,344 sq ft of refined living space in one of South Kensington’s most sought-after enclaves, moments from The Boltons. Crafted circa 1884 by celebrated Victorian architect Sir Ernest George, the house blends historic character with contemporary design. Period detailing includes ornate fireplaces, intricate cornicing, timber panelling and striking external flourishes, all sensitively balanced with modern interiors.
A raised ground floor of impressive scale introduces the home, with a beautifully proportioned reception room setting the tone through its volume, light and bespoke joinery. The principal bedroom suite also occupies this level, complete with a walk-in wardrobe, a refined en-suite with a roll-top bath and tranquil garden views.
At garden level, the 27 ft Poliform family kitchen forms the heart of the home, with Wolf appliances and Sub-Zero refrigeration. French doors open onto a private terrace with direct access to the exclusively held 2-acre Collingham Gardens. This floor also includes a formal dining room, study, utility room and a staff bedroom suite with private entrance - ideal for flexible living.
The first floor is anchored by a dramatic double-height (c.5m high) sitting room with drop-down cinema screen and bar overlooking Wetherby Gardens, alongside two bright east-facing bedrooms.
