6 bedroom terraced house for sale in South Street, Mayfair, London, W1K
Price:
£15,500,000
Description:
This palatial blue-plaque townhouse on South Street is for sale for the first time in twenty years. The seven-storey 6,477 sq ft townhouse overlooking Mount Street Gardens was once the home of Lord Ashfield, the celebrated First Chairman of London Transport and founder of the London Underground. The plaque bearing his name is almost unique, recognising his life's work by using the iconic London Underground typeface that he helped to design. This classically elegant Grade II Listed freehold house was built by J. J Stevenson, master of the Queen Anne revival style, between 1896 and 1898, and retains many of its original features. Located on “one of Mayfair's most architecturally beautiful streets, ” it provides an impressive family home with its six sumptuous bedrooms and a lavish space for entertaining, with ceiling heights of 3.5m in the formal reception rooms. Its two rear balconies offer magnificent views over Mount Street Gardens, which pre-date the house by nine years and house a variety of exotic plants including a Canary Island date palm and three dawn redwoods from China. The house is laid out over seven levels, comprising lower ground, ground and five upper floors connected by an impressive cantilevered staircase, and offers a breathtaking example of Queen Anne Revival Style architecture. Guided by the Victorian obsession with looking back and seeking to improve styles of the British past, the architect Stevenson emulated the grand buildings of Queen Anne's reign, designing with a focus on classical beauty - balance, harmony and light. As a result, the house is characterised by high ceilings, impressive windows and elegant cornicing, to achieve an effect of symmetry and order. The lower ground floor contains an impressive family kitchen/dining room with a large central island, aga-style ovens and a great ornate fireplace. To the front there are staff quarters and an assortment of storage rooms. Still available at ListedBuy!
