House For Sale £5,950,000
Alexander Place, South Kensington, London, SW7

Grade II listed three bedroom home on a prestigious street close to South Kensington underground station.

Entering the house on the ground floor, the front door opens directly onto a double reception room occupying the entire floor. This room is currently divided into seating and dining areas, with an internal balcony bringing added light to the floor below.

The lower ground floor contains a generous open-plan kitchen with a central island and breakfast bar. It communicates with the dining area, leading through to a pair of French doors that open into the garden. In addition, this floor contains considerable storage space, including an underground wine cellar and separate utility room.

The house has a spacious layout allowing for well-proportioned rooms. The first floor consists of another double reception room running the entire length of the property. This is a panelled room with a shallow-domed ceiling and south-facing French doors opening onto a balcony.

The second and third floors are both entirely occupied by bedrooms with spacious ensuite bathrooms and storage space on the half-landing. There is also a fourth floor – the only property on the street with this advantage – occupied by a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. In addition, this room has a large round-headed window at the front and balcony at the back.

The house has been decorated to an exceptionally high standard, resulting in spectacular interiors. The walls are covered with murals, fabric wallpaper, wooden panels, and colourful tiles in the kitchen and bathrooms, as well as a marble fountain in one reception room. In addition, the property is Grade II listed and has been owned by several celebrated figures. It previously included a lift, which could be restored by a future owner subject to formal consent.

The property offers a substantial rear garden with brick paving and planted borders. There is also a south-facing first-floor balcony and fourth-floor rear balcony with impressive views towards the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Alexander Place is a handsome street lined in Victorian terrace houses with stucco bases, flanked by Doric pilasters. From here, South Kensington underground station is a short walk away, as well as the neighbourhood’s world-class museums and cultural institutions. In addition, the shops and restaurants of Chelsea and Knightsbridge are close, along with the open spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
