A Robert Adam Townhouse Of Remarkable Scale And Character

On one of Marylebone’s most distinguished addresses, this seven-bedroom townhouse spans five voluminous floors, its 18th-century grandeur carefully balanced with bold contemporary touches. Originally completed in 1773 by Robert Adam, the house retains its soaring ceilings, marble fireplaces and intricate plasterwork, while modern interventions root it firmly in the present.

The lower ground floor is designed for flexibility, with two self-contained studios, one with its own kitchenette, a bathroom, a gym, plant room and four vaults.

The ground floor sets the tone for modern family living. The kitchen and reception rooms are joined by wedding doors, their symmetry enhanced by tall sash windows and intricate cornicing. At the rear, the kitchen is a bold space where a glossy lime green island anchors the plan, flanked by a fireplace and twin sash windows that mirror those at the front. A breakfast area sits alongside, creating a convivial flow between dining, cooking and entertaining. Beyond, a boot room, prep kitchen and bathroom complete the floor. From here, doors open to a private terrace, with a garage discreetly positioned behind.

The first floor is dedicated to formal entertaining. Twin reception rooms, again linked by wedding doors,are laid out as a dining room and drawing room, complemented by a study to the front and a library to the rear. Original fireplaces, lofty ceilings and expansive windows create an atmosphere of elegant grandeur.

On the second floor, the principal suite unfolds across bedroom, vast marble bathroom with freestanding bath, a dressing room lined with bespoke cabinetry, and an additional bathroom with twin showers and double vanity. A guest suite with its own bathroom completes this floor.

The third floor holds five further bedrooms, one ensuite, along with a sitting room, TV room, bathroom and utility room. A mezzanine library, with an additional bathroom, crowns the top of the house.

Mansfield Street lies at the heart of Marylebone, moments from the boutiques and cafés of Marylebone High Street and within easy reach of Regent’s Park. Wigmore Hall, the Wallace Collection and the Sherlock Holmes Museum bring cultural richness to the area, while transport links connect across London and beyond.
