A classic four-bedroom apartment and arguably one of the finest properties at this prestigious and exclusive address. Built in the early 19th century, Hyde Park Gardens is a stunning, grand stucco-fronted terrace on the north side of Hyde Park. This particular property is arranged over the raised ground, first and second floors, with direct access to award-winning communal gardens. The apartment is a spectacular example of grandeur and wonderful living spaces with each floor connected by a beautiful wrought-iron Victorian staircase. At the centre of this unique home and on the raised ground floor is an excellent south-facing reception room with views over the tranquil gardens, as well as direct access to a private and sizeable roof terrace via three French doors. The reception room also connects to the kitchen/dining area via sliding doors. With two walls of bespoke units and generous workspace, the well-appointed kitchen provides a perfect area for entertaining. On the first floor, the luxurious master bedroom also enjoys grand ceiling heights and views of the communal gardens. In addition, it has an en-suite bathroom, walk-in wardrobes and a mezzanine level giving access to substantial wardrobe space. The second bedroom is spacious and bright, with a useful mezzanine area. There are two further bedrooms, including one that lends itself perfectly to staff accommodation, and a designated study room/workspace. Hyde Park Gardens is within easy reach of the West End and many other central London destinations and shopping districts, including Marylebone, Knightsbridge and High Street Kensington.
