A stucco and brick house of the 1840s on the garden square, five floors, with a double drawing room over the trees and the key to the square's gardens.

  • Double drawing room over the garden square
  • Five floors, five bedrooms
  • Paved garden facing south
  • Key to the square's gardens
  • Grade II listed
  • Five minutes to South Kensington station

The house was built in the 1840s as part of the square and has been a single family house ever since. Its proportions are intact: the double drawing room on the first floor runs from front to back, with three tall windows onto the balcony over the gardens and a marble fireplace at each end.

Below it, the raised ground floor holds the dining room and a study. The lower ground floor is the kitchen and family room, opening to a paved garden enclosed by clipped box. The principal bedroom takes the whole of the second floor with its dressing room and bathroom; four more bedrooms and two bathrooms are above.

With the house comes a key to the gardens of the square, a few steps from the front door. The museums of Exhibition Road and South Kensington station are about five minutes on foot.
