House For Sale £25,000,000
Green Street, London, W1K 7

An architecturally attractive stone fronted freehold townhouse of 7,198 square feet at the favoured Park Lane end of Green Street. With 5 bedroom Suites and 4 reception rooms the house also benefits from direct access to the hidden Green Street Gardens.

38 Green Street is an attractive stone fronted period building spanning 3 windows across with decorative ‘Porte Italia’ style stone carving as well as a balconette with decorative ironwork. Rarely for a period building of its stature, the house is unlisted but still maintains a wealth of period features both inside and out. Measuring 7,193 square feet the house offers well balanced accommodation throughout all accessed of a grand central staircase as well as having a generous passenger list to all but the very top floor. Needing little if any changes to the layout, the house could however be vastly improved by a comprehensive program of refurbishment works.

Upon entering the house, there is a grand entrance vestibule with a feature fireplace and intricate cornice detail to instantly impress on arrival. This room leads through to the main entrance hall with the central staircase bisecting the house. The principal family room sits at the rear of the house on the ground floor which offers direct access to the hidden Green Street gardens for the private use of residents only. On the first floor there are two further reception rooms of equal prominence with a large study on street side and an opulent drawing room looking over the gardens below. All reception rooms have a wealth of period carvings and moldings.

A sizeable master bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor with 4 further bedroom suites found on the 3rd and 4th floors. At the very top of the house is the ‘sun room’ which leads to a private roof terrace from which to enjoy far reaching roof top views over Mayfair and beyond. The family kitchen and staff accommodation are at lower ground floor level.

On the lower ground floor sits the family kitchen which has its own access to the private gardens via a cast iron spiral staircase. The space could be vastly improved upon by replacing the kitchen with a modern equivalent and possibly re-working the room to allow for more light. Domestic help are well looked after with comfortable rooms as well as a substantial laundry room.

The house sits as the favored Park Lane end of Green Street surrounded by other prominent houses, including one of Mayfair’s largest private houses directly opposite, on what is an entirely unbroken ‘period’ street. Historically The south side of Green Street between Dunraven Street and Park Street was redeveloped in the 1910s, under the direction of Hugh Grosvenor, the second Duke of Westminster with most of the properties being rebuilt between 1912 and 1916.

The Green Street Gardens

Highly sought after but rarely available are properties with access to this hidden Mayfair oasis. Residents can only enjoy use of them if they are able to directly access them which is reserved for a small handful of houses and a couple of boutique apartment blocks. The grounds are well maintained by a team of gardeners for a nominal annual service charge.
