RESIDENCES & ESTATES
The home itself is an imposing townhouse with
a raised ground floor sitting room, dining room
and kitchen. A pretty wrought iron staircase leads
from the kitchen down to the 90 ft. south-facing
garden, where there is a patio, and a wooden
gate in the rear wall that leads out to Edwardes
Square.
On the first floor is a grand drawing room with
three floor-to-ceililng windows and impressive
14-foot ceiling heights. A bookshelf-lined study at
the rear then leads out onto the first floor terrace
overlooking the garden and Edwardes Square.
The master bedroom occupies the entire second
floor, complete with walk-in dressing room and
master bathroom. Situated on the top floor are
three family bedrooms with two bathrooms.
The lower ground floor comprises a large
family room with private rear garden. A further
guest bedroom, which could be utilised as staff
quarters, is also located on the lower ground
floor.
Some of the standout features of the home are
the exceptional wellness facilities situated on
the basement floor, including the private spa
area, complete with 33 foot (10 metre) swimming
pool, lined with Grecian-style semi-columns and
a steam room. In addition, there is underground
parking for two cars accessed directly from the
house as well as 24/7 security, CCTV cameras and
an onsite porter service.
Residents of Earls Terrace benefit from access
to the Grade II Listed 3 acre private gardens of
Edwardes Square. The communal gardens were
laid out in 1812 and have attracted a number
of well-known residents, including the author
Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, popular British
comedian Frankie Howerd, Harry Potter author
JK Rowling and pop superstar Madonna.
Situated in one of London’s most sought-after
areas, Earls Terrace is within easy access of
Holland Park, Kensington High Street, as well as
being close to Hyde Park and the museums and
galleries of South Kensington.
