FORTY EIGHT
UPPER GROSVENOR STREET MAYFAIR W1 A rare opportunity to acquire this impressive, recently refurbished and meticulously well maintained Grade II listed Freehold Georgian townhouse in this prestigious Mayfair address. Built in 1721, the house is highly regarded as having ‘the best preserved early Georgian frontage on Upper Grosvenor Street’. The subject of a recent and comprehensive refurbishment, the house seamlessly blends historic charm with modern technology. With such a rich and varied history, the house has been occupied and visited by many important figures over the years, with actors, presidents and the cream of high society entertaining and being entertained in its many rooms.
On entering the house, there is a large and welcoming hallway with marble floors, an attractive fireplace and a passenger lift serving all main floors discreetly concealed behind a mirrored door. The kitchen, also on the ground floor is fully bespoke with original paneled walls, wide plank oak flooring and access onto the private landscaped south facing rear garden, which is almost 40 feet in length.
At first floor level, there is a delightful study/morning room with oblique views over Grosvenor Square, as well as incredibly intricate hand painted wood paneled walls. The formal drawing room is at the rear with its wealth of period detailing and being more than 30 feet in length.
The original cantilevered staircase runs throughout the house and is top lit with a highly decorative and ornate lantern.
French windows open onto a decorative Juliet balcony facing south and overlooking the garden.
The second floor is occupied in its entirety by the master bedroom and bathroom. With attractive curved wardrobes and restored paneling and ceiling detail, the room is a tranquil and elegant space. The master bathroom has preserved art deco period detail including the re-conditioned bath and mirrored sink. Upstairs on the third and fourth floors are three further bedrooms and 2 large bathrooms both with separate bath and shower as well as a small concealed kitchenette.
At lower ground floor level, what was the original kitchen has been transformed into a fully functioning cinema room complete with tiered reclining seating, full 7.1 channel surround sound and a fixed 108 inch screen. It has been styled in a highly opulent 1930’s influenced fashion with luxurious drapery and walls upholstered in velvet, with deep pile gold and red carpets. A popcorn maker adds to the authentic cinema experience. Across the hallway from the cinema is a fully equipped gymnasium with a separate shower room and utility room. Secondary street access would also enable this space to be used as additional staff accommodation if required.
