This unique residence, situated in one of London's most sought-after areas, offers a characterful and spacious accommodation that sleeps up to eight guests. Occupying the top three floors of a grand house, the property features four comfortable double bedrooms and two bathrooms, alongside two bright reception areas complete with an open fire. A balcony extends from the living room to a large roof terrace, providing stunning views over London. Its prime location allows easy access to major attractions such as Oxford Street and Marylebone High Street, making it an ideal base for exploring the city.
This cherished family home has been owned for generations, retaining many original features, including exquisite William Morris wallpaper. The main entrance hall is a shared lobby with a private medical practice, which occupies the first two floors during working hours. However, the entire upper building is exclusively available for guests, ensuring privacy and comfort. The top floor includes three double bedrooms, a spacious reception room, a bathroom, and a fully equipped kitchen, while the floor below features a laundry room, an additional shower and WC, and a large master bedroom.
The residence also boasts a charming library room equipped with a projector screen and a second kitchen, ideal for entertaining guests. Although some rooms on the middle and lower floors are reserved for the family's personal belongings, guests can enjoy a wealth of books and artworks throughout the house. The two bathrooms offer modern conveniences, with one featuring a roll-top bath and the other a washing machine and dryer. All linens and towels are provided and professionally laundered, ensuring a comfortable stay.
While this property is perfect for those seeking a unique and historic accommodation experience, it is important to note that it is an older building with many stairs, which may not suit everyone, particularly those with mobility difficulties. Additionally, the roof garden should not be accessed by children without supervision. Longer stays are negotiable, and the entire house can be rented for private use, although it is also available as a top-floor apartment with three double bedrooms, should the owner be in residence. The location is ideal for enjoying London's natural beauty and cultural highlights, with attractions like Hyde Park, The British Museum, and Wembley Stadium nearby.
