Exceptional Victorian house in St John’s Wood

Finished with exceptional attention to detail and defined by its open-plan spaces, the house has a clever sense of flow. The ground-floor family kitchen and living room offers floor-to-ceiling glass doors that leads directly to the private walled beautifully landscaped south-facing garden, which is perfect for entertaining. In the kitchen, Gaggenau appliances are complemented by two dishwashers and a sub-zero fridge.

On the first floor, the drawing room is exceptionally bright due to its dual-aspect floor-to-ceiling windows, which accentuate the soaring 12ft ceilings. A sculptural staircase runs through the heart of the home, leading to all floors. An original stained glass window dating back to 1856 casts a colourful dappled light over the stairs.

Three ensuite bedrooms on the second floor are complemented by two guest or staff bedrooms on the lower ground floor. The principal suite takes over the entire top floor, meaning it feels utterly private. Additionally, the house has a gym and gated off-street parking for two cars with electric car charging.

Greville Place is in between the iconic Abbey Road and Maida Vale, close to the local shops and restaurants, excellent transport facilities and within walking distance to The American School in London.
