Situated on Connaught Square, a prestigious address, belonging to The Hyde Park Estate, this characterful family home is on the market for the first time in 30 years. Set across six floors and 4,927 square feet, the Georgian townhouse is defined by its generous proportions and abundance of natural light and charm. The only double-fronted house on the square, it has three wide windows across its facade; the building’s width is exceptionally rare for a property of this period. It occupies a prized corner position on the favourable western terrace with commanding views overlooking the Square and the residents' garden which is beautifully maintained.Entry is to a grand entrance hall, which leads to a kitchen and breakfast room on one side and a dining room on the other. In the dining room, a bay window overlooks the tranquil street and in the kitchen, shaker-style cabinetry conceals appliances, and French doors open out onto a pretty courtyard garden. A store cupboard and powder room complete this level. There is access to the lift found on this floor. On the first floor, an expansive and elegant drawing room is punctuated by three floor-to-ceiling windows with perfectly clear views of the garden square opposite. Ideal for entertaining, this level also has two small separate studies which adjoin the drawing room. On the lower ground level, there is a separate self contained area with its own sitting room, kitchen, bedroom and a bathroom- excellent as staff accommodation. The second floor is given over to the principal suite. Here, the large bedroom has two beautiful adjoining bathrooms, which would be perfect for a couple who each wanted their own space. A dressing room sits at the back of this floor. Three double bedrooms on the third floor share a lovely family bathroom, while a final double bedroom, a bathroom and a kitchenette lie on the top floor. A generous sized lift services the first and second floors which is, again, unusual for a house of this period.Residents enjoy access to the beautifully maintained gardens which the property has commanding views over owing to its prized corner position on the western terrace.Situated in the heart of Connaught Village which offers a wonderful selection of restaurants and boutique shops just moments from the green expanse of Hyde Park and world class amenities of Marylebone and Mayfair.The transport links are excellent being well positioned between Paddington and Bond Street underground stations with the new Elizabeth line, together with Marble Arch and Lancaster Gate underground stations, and easy access to King's Cross St. Pancras International train station and the West and Heathrow via the A40.
