Description
Beautifully preserved family home with lofty rooms and access to a communal garden square
Stepping into the house on the ground floor, the front door opens onto an impressive entrance hall. To one side is a dining room with high ceilings, a marble fireplace and a wide window. The dining room flows through to an informal front hallway, and beyond that a modern open-plan kitchen with a central island and marble worktops. Overhead skylights fill the breakfast area with brightness, while a pair of west-facing double French doors lead out onto the rear balcony.
The first floor features a spectacular double reception room with lofty ceilings and a pair of full-length French doors overlooking the garden square. The rear side of the room forms a library, with its own French door giving a double aspect. This floor also contains a garden-facing conservatory currently used as a home office.
The second floor is entirely occupied by the principal bedroom suite. This includes a bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a bath. The second floor features two more bedrooms, one of them ensuite, as well as a utility room. A large ensuite bedroom or games room, complete with storage space and kitchenette, occupies the third floor.
The lower ground floor centres on a generous family room with storage space and sliding French doors lead out into the garden. This floor also contains a gym, a bathroom, a bedroom and a storage vault. With separate street access, it could provide a self-contained flat.
The elegant interiors have preserved as many of the house’s original features as possible, giving a sense of grandeur, history and refinement to the rooms.
The property includes a paved west-facing garden with enough space for outdoor seating. Furthermore, there is a rear balcony on the ground floor with steps leading down to the garden, as well as front and rear balconies on the first floor. Finally, residents have keys to access the communal gardens opposite – one of the few garden squares with a children’s play area and permission for dogs.
Thurloe Square is a highly sought-after garden square close to South Kensington underground station. It was developed in the 1820s with houses mostly designed by George Basevi, a celebrated Victorian architect of the Gothic and Neoclassical styles.
From here, the neighbourhood’s many outstanding museums and cultural institutions are close. In addition, the shops and restaurants of Chelsea and Knightsbridge are a short walk away, along with the open spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.

STAYING SAFE ONLINE:
While most people genuinely aim to assist you in finding your next home, despite our best efforts there will unfortunately always be a small number of fraudsters attempting to deceive you into sharing personal information or handing over money. We strongly advise that you always view a property in person before making any payments, particularly if the advert is from a private individual. If visiting the property isn’t possible, consider asking someone you trust to view it on your behalf. Be cautious, as fraudsters often create a sense of urgency, claiming you need to transfer money to secure a property or book a viewing.
