Hyde Park Gate, London

Built in 1846, this impressive Mid-Victorian stucco-fronted building forms part of the Hyde Park Gate Conservation Area and, like many of the grand houses along the street, has been sensitively converted into a collection of private residences. Arranged over the raised and lower ground floors, the two-storey apartment has been comprehensively refurbished to an exceptional standard, combining elegant period proportions with contemporary design and premium finishes. Extending to over 2,427 sq ft, it offers beautifully balanced accommodation.

An impressive suite of reception rooms spans the front of the property, with an elegant drawing room opening seamlessly into a formal dining room. Both feature solid oak flooring, fireplaces and the lofty ceilings synonymous with grand Victorian homes. A private study provides an ideal home office, while the bespoke kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with walnut cabinetry, natural stone worktops, integrated Meile appliances and underfloor heating. A guest cloakroom and extensive built-in storage area completes this floor.

The lower ground floor is centred around a luxurious principal suite with fitted wardrobes, a separate dressing room and a generous en suite bathroom with a bath, walk-in shower and twin vanity units. French doors open directly onto the rear patio terrace. There are three further double bedrooms, one with an en suite shower room, while the others are served by a beautifully appointed shared bathroom. A utility room and further integrated storage complete the accommodation.

Occupying a discreet position on a quiet no-through road, the property enjoys exceptional privacy and minimal traffic in the heart of prime Central London. Outdoor space lies to both the front and rear, with a west-facing front patio and an east-facing rear patio providing space for entertaining. The front terrace is set beneath elegant wrought iron railings, with raised panted beds, mature trees and established shrubs providing a verdant outlook and a welcome sense of seclusion. To the rear, French doors open into a charming patio enclosed by contemporary fending and boundary walls, creating a private and tranquil setting for relaxation. Permit parking is available locally.
