October’s property of the month is a stunning Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in W2.
A village oasis in the heart of London
Connaught Village is a hidden gem, providing a true community feel that’s often elusive in bustling London. Just moments from the green expanses of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, and a stone’s throw from the retail havens of Selfridges and Oxford Street, our property of the month’s locale offers the best of both worlds. The area is characterised by its charming independent shops, friendly local pubs, and a strong sense of community that makes it truly special.
This Albion Street home’s first floor features a generous reception area that flows onto a study and opens further onto a charming terrace.
A home steeped in ghostly history
This grand residence boasts a fascinating history, with its location near the former site of the Tyburn gallows and backing onto St George’s Fields – once a graveyard with a secret passageway thought to be used by criminals to escape the law. Today, it offers serene views over the gardens of St George’s Fields apartments. The street itself has been home to authors, foreign royalty, and famous entertainers over the years, adding to its rich tapestry of stories.
Thoughtful renovation meets period charm
The current owners have lovingly maintained the property’s original Georgian and Regency features, including sash windows with concealed shutters, ornate plaster mouldings, and beautiful wooden floors. Modern updates have been carefully integrated to complement these period elements, such as the kitchen’s replica windows and the innovative use of architectural glass in the terrace design.
On the ground floor the reception/dining room extends effortlessly into a beautifully designed kitchen, complete with a sleek breakfast bar.
Stunning glass windows bathe the kitchen space in natural light.
