3 bed Flat For Sale £3,250,000
A rare opportunity to acquire an exquisite split-level penthouse with south-facing views over Vincent Square's private playing fields used exclusively by Westminster School.
The 11-metre (37 foot) long living room is the centre-piece of this property with access via seven sets of double doors to the front terrace. A second terrace on the westerly flank of the living room is ideal for relaxing during warm summer evenings.
The contemporary, fully fitted kitchen is elevated and overlooks the living room.
The three spacious double bedrooms all have fitted wardrobes. The three shower-rooms are either en suite or adjacent, the latter also serving as a guest WC.
This penthouse apartment is the most exclusive, the best-positioned and most highly sought-after in the building, if not in the local area. The tennis courts within the square are available to residents on payment of a modest annual fee.
Further details of the many attractions in the Westminster area are set out below.

Places of Interest
Buckingham Palace imagine being within ten minutes' walk of witnessing the daily Changing of the Guard - an intriguing outing for you and your house guests, or family. Public access available to some of Her Majesty's State Rooms (open July to October subject to covid), the Queen's Gallery (art) and the Royal Mews stables. Trooping the Colour at Horse Guards for the Queen's birthday in June.
The Palace of Westminster - where Her Majesty's national government conducts its daily business, is equally nearby. The public can sit in the Visitors' Gallery and witness live debates across the floor of the House of Commons between the prime-minister and leader of the opposition.
Westminster Abbey The historical and world-renowned venue for royal weddings, coronations, state funerals, memorial services as well as Sunday services. The Abbey is open to tourists and site-seers most days of the week.
Tate Britain - A visit here is another option since the gallery is 5 minutes' walk from Vincent Square along Millbank and therefore on the bank of the River Thames. Entrance is free and there are vast number of exhibitions of a wide spectrum of artists' work throughout the year.
Churchill's War Rooms This is where the great man held his strategic meetings and monitored the progress of the Battle of Britain with his inner cabinet, while sheltering from the bombs, doodle-bugs and V2 rockets.
Victoria Street The main shopping street with a wide choice of places to eat, drink, shop, relax - or to simply perambulate.
Sellers insight
We so enjoy the convenience of living at 68 Vincent Square that we are thinking of moving to a smaller apartment in the same building! A daily pleasure for us at the moment is the complete privacy afforded us by being at the top of the building. Views of the mature plane trees around the square and the greenery of the private playing fields has a truly calming effect on us we could be almost anywhere! On a summer afternoon the leaves filter the strength of the sun while only the occasional sound of willow on leather suggests we may still be in England. During the winter months the lack of leaves on the trees gives us a better view of the entire square, and beyond.
Another lovely feature is the morning sun beaming into the main reception areas which continues through till midday. We can then enjoy afternoon tea on the side terrace while evening sun shines through the windows at the rear of the property.
During warm summer evenings it is fun to have al fresco drinks followed by supper on the terrace. Every New Year's Eve, we enjoy uninterrupted views from our terrace of the London Mayor's spectacular firework display over the River Thames. This is always the highlight of the festive season for our friends and family, and especially our grandchildren!
The convenience of living in this part of Westminster prompted us a few years ago to go car-free'. All our regular shopping needs, restaurants and entertainment venues are within a short walk, while plenty of cabs are available along Rochester Row, or are only a brief phone-call away.
