For the first time in almost 50 years, this remarkable five-bedroom, six-bathroom home comes to market. Set across three expansive floors and extending over 7,000 sq ft, it is defined by a rare sense of scale and privacy in one of London’s most prestigious addresses. The raised ground floor is arranged around a vast reception room, where high ceilings, intricate cornicing, oak parquet and hand-carved wall panelling set an impressive tone. Floor-to-ceiling windows open directly to a beautifully landscaped east-facing garden overlooking Princes Gardens. The principal suite is also on this level, complete with a marble-clad en suite, oak-panelled dressing room, mezzanine study and its own private reception room. The lower floor is designed for entertaining, with a bespoke kitchen, dramatic dining room, a light-filled breakfast room and a series of versatile reception spaces. Four further bedrooms are arranged here, two with dressing rooms and ensuites, alongside additional study and office areas. A sweeping staircase curves down to the leisure level, home to a cinema room, wine cellar, private swimming pool and spa. The property is fully air-conditioned, attended by a resident caretaker and offered on a long leasehold. Princes Gate sits moments from Hyde Park, Imperial College and the museums of South Kensington, with the shopping streets of Knightsbridge and Chelsea close by. The restaurants and boutiques of Exhibition Road are just around the corner, while South Kensington and Knightsbridge Underground stations offer swift links across the capital.
