On a quiet historic street in the heart of Soho, this remarkable Grade II listed Georgian townhouse is a rare and refined offering. Dating back to 1740, the house has been lovingly preserved and reimagined to pair its rich architectural heritage with stylish, modern comforts. Spanning five stories and crowned with a private roof terrace, the home offers exceptional living space in one of London’s most storied cultural quarters.

The ground floor unfolds with a formal entrance hall leading into a double reception room, divided by folding doors for flexibility and flow. At the rear sits a generously proportioned kitchen with bespoke cabinetry, timber floors, and an overhead skylight that brings natural warmth into the space. A guest WC completes this level, blending functionality with charm.

The first floor is arranged for both grandeur and versatility. A dramatic double drawing room occupies the front, with three south-facing bay windows framing the room in natural light. To the rear, a second reception space can be used as a dining room or additional study, opening onto a small private terrace, perfect for quiet moments above the city.

Upstairs, the second floor is dedicated to the principal suite, with ample wardrobe space and a large private bathroom. A second bedroom with soaring vaulted ceilings and an ensuite bathroom sits on the floor above, while the lower ground level houses a third bedroom, a sauna, a cellar, and extensive storage. With thoughtful reconfiguration, the house could easily accommodate a fifth bedroom.

Throughout, original Georgian details remain intact, timber beams, exposed brickwork, ornate fireplaces, and beautifully paneled walls enrich the interiors with warmth and character. The aesthetic strikes a balance between classical and contemporary, with interiors that feel both lived-in and meticulously composed.

Topping the home is a rare and peaceful roof terrace, complete with wooden decking and panoramic views across Soho’s historic rooftops. D’Arblay Street itself is rich in literary and architectural heritage, named for the 18th-century novelist Madame D’Arblay. From this exceptional address, the very best of central London is on your doorstep, from the theaters of the West End to the boutiques of Carnaby Street and the green retreats of Soho Square and St James’s Park.
