An impressive Georgian townhouse of 4,129 square feet located in the heart of 'Mayfair Village' with the rare benefit of an internal private garage. Rebuilt behind the period facade, the accommodation has been extended, reorganised and refurbished throughout, creating a substantial family home over just five floors.
With a grand entrance hall and a formal dining room at ground floor level, the house offers a great sense of arrival. On the first floor there is a classic 'L-Shaped' drawing room with its high ceilings and dual aspect for formal entertaining, along with a more informal family room/library. The second floor plays host to the principal bedroom suite, with its walk-in dressing room and en-suite bathroom as well as a further guest bedroom. Two further double bedrooms, one of which is en-suite, and a family bathroom are found on the third floor. The kitchen, breakfast room, utility room and staff accommodation (2 bedrooms) are all at basement level.
An incoming purchaser will be in good company as the house has one of London's rare blue plaques celebrating one of the house's former occupants who lived there between 1872 and 1920. Catherine Walters also known as "Skittles" was one of the last courtesans of the Victorian Era. Skittles was well known for her dashing looks, her skills as a horsewoman, and for being very discreet and refined. Among her benefactors were intellectuals, leaders of political parties, aristocrats and a member of the British Royal Family.
South Street is enviably located in the heart of Mayfair, just moments from the charming Mount Street Gardens. There is a wonderful range of amenities and local culture nearby, with the luxurious, world-renowned shopping streets of Bond Street, New Bond Street and Savile Row all located within close proximity.
Berkeley Square is a short walk from the property and plays host to exclusive private members clubs such as Annabel's and famous restaurants such as Sexy Fish. Hyde Park and Green Park offer tranquil green spaces nearby if one wishes to escape the hustle and bustle of the Mayfair District.
