Rue Buckingham

Historic Covent Garden residence uniting Grade II grandeur with refined loft-style contemporary living.
Set within a handsome Grade II listed red-brick terrace on one of London’s most historic addresses, this c.1,655 sq ft lateral apartment pairs cultural provenance with contemporary design. Once home to the office belonging to the extreme wing of the suffragettes and neighbouring the former residences of both Charles Dickens and Samuel Pepys the property is steeped in history while offering modern luxury. Comprehensively remodelled in 2014 at a cost of £1m, the apartment channels a refined New York loft aesthetic. The dramatic reception room is anchored by exposed brickwork, full-height Juliet balconies, and a studded steel fireplace with integrated media wall. The adjoining dining room, defined by bespoke Italian feature lighting and mirrored panelling, creates a moody yet sophisticated setting for entertaining. A sleek, handleless kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Neff appliances, induction and gas hobs, and Corian-style worktops combines functionality with bold design. The principal bedroom features a porcelain-tiled statement wall and an indulgent en-suite by Antonio Lupi, while a second bedroom is softened by suede wall panelling. A further double bedroom, Effegibi steam room, oak flooring throughout, and integrated Sonos complete the interior specification. Positioned moments from the Thames, Covent Garden piazza, and the West End’s theatre district, Buckingham Street also lies beside London’s oldest wine bar, Gordon’s. Secure underground parking is available by separate arrangement (not included in the sale). Tenure : Share of Freehold
