Sydney Place

Stepping into the house on the raised ground floor, the wide entrance leads through to a central staircase hall. On one side is a dining room, with double French doors opening onto a front balcony. On the other side is a home office that can also be used as a cloakroom/playroom.

Furthermore, this floor features a well-proportioned kitchen with wooden units and an informal dining area. It also features a guest WC and garden access.

The lower ground floor offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of them ensuite. It also offers a separate kitchen/laundry room, a pantry storage space, a sitting room and separate street access, meaning it could be used as a self-contained flat. There is also three very useful and easily accessible storage vaults.

The first floor features an impressive double drawing room with two separate seating areas. The high ceilings have elegant cornices, while French doors open onto front and rear terraces and fill the space with light. This floor also features a comfortable study.

The second floor centres on the principal bedroom suite, including bedroom, dressing room and a bathroom with both shower and bath.

There is also a second bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and a glass-roofed reading space on the half landing. The third floor includes three more bedrooms, sharing a bathroom.

This much-loved family home has been decorated in a traditional style to suit the historic setting. Its opulent interiors have been beautifully maintained.

The house has a south-west facing garden with a lawn, planted borders and a paved area for outdoor dining. It also includes a garage with additional off-street parking, accessed via gated Sydney Mews at the rear.

There are two terraces on the first floor, one of them unusually wide. Furthermore, the property is set back from the street with a front garden giving added privacy.

Finally, residents have access to both the communal gardens of Onslow Square, one of which has a tennis court.

The white stucco townhouses of Sydney Place connect Onslow Square with the Fulham Road. These Grade II listed properties were designed by the celebrated neoclassical architect George Basevi and built by Charles James Freake between 1844 and 1855.

From here, South Kensington underground station is close, while the many restaurants and shops of the Fulham Road are also nearby.
