A Modern Penthouse With Views Of Bromton And Surrounds.

This elegant apartment occupies the upper floors of a handsome Grade II listing late Regency townhouse. Built between 1824 and 1839, the characterful stocl-brick terrace forms part of one of London’s most distinctive garden squares, with stuccoed lower elevations, traditional sash windows and ornate balconies. Today, the building has been thoughtfully divided into a collection of stylish apartments.

Arranged over the upper three floors, the property has its own entrance on the third floor with an attractive contemporary staircase rising through the levels. The principal living accommodation occupies the fifth floor and is conceived as a stylish open-plan space, with a trio of windows at ither end drawing natural light through the room, complemented by two roof lights and smart hardwood flooring. The south-west facing aspect has French doors opening onto a balcony, with views towards the historic architecture and church towers of Brompton. The generous reception space is subtly zoned for sitting, dining and cooking, with built-in cabinetry incorporating a wine fridge and a contemporary kitchen arranged around a central island. Dark timber cabinetry is complemented by integrated Miele appliances, while a cloakroom and useful storage complete the floor.

The bedrooms are arranged on the fourth floor. The principal suite is particularly well appointed, with extensive built-in wardrobes, three French windows opening onto south-west facing balconies and a smart en suite bathroom with a bath and a separate shower. There are two further bedrooms, one with built-in wardrobes, together with a well-appointed shower room.

In addition to its balconies, the apartment features a charming roof terrace on the sixth floor, where chimney top-views extend across Brompton and the surrounding rooftops. Paved and enclosed by traditional iron balustrading, it provides an atmospheric setting for morning coffee or an evening drink, with views towards the gardens and tower of Holy Trinity Brompton and the distinctive dome of the nearby Brompton Oratory. Mature trees soften the outlook, while the elevated position gives a wonderful sense of space and perspective. It is an appealing outdoor retreat in one of central London’s most established and south-after residential enclaves.
