Belgravia Garden House

On one of Belgravia's celebrated garden squares, this Grade II listed townhouse presents the classic white-stucco elevation of Thomas Cubitt's London — and conceals behind it a six-storey family house rebuilt to exacting contemporary standards. The piano nobile retains its 3.6-metre ceilings and twin marble chimneypieces, opening through the original folding doors to a study overlooking the square's private gardens, to which the house holds a key.

The lower ground floor is the heart of the home: a bespoke kitchen and family room extending to a landscaped west-facing garden with retractable glass roof over the dining terrace. Six bedrooms occupy the upper floors, the principal suite spanning the entire second floor. A gym, wine room, media snug, and staff kitchen occupy the basement level, and the mews cottage to the rear provides self-contained guest or staff accommodation with garaging.

Available on terms of one to three years, unfurnished or furnished by arrangement. The house is moments from Eaton Square, Elizabeth Street, and the best of Knightsbridge, with Gatwick and Farnborough under an hour by car.
