The floor also contains a kitchen with a central island, leading through to the dining room. Both these rooms benefit from overhead skylights, keeping them bright throughout the day. Finally, there is a garage with space for several cars.

Downstairs is a substantial lower ground floor. This includes a gym, a home cinema, and a 13m swimming pool. In addition, this floor contains a pair of reception rooms with French doors opening out onto a central courtyard. Finally, this floor benefits from a plant room, a utility room, and a pair of bathrooms.

The first floor contains a generous principal bedroom suite. This includes a bedroom with a balcony, as well as an ensuite bathroom with bath and shower, and a dressing room. This section of the first floor contains three more bedrooms and three more bathrooms. Two of them are ensuite, with south-facing balconies overlooking the garden, and all of them well-supplied with storage space.

The house is a new development, and the long lateral layout of the floors is exceptionally rare. Its interiors were designed by the celebrated Anthony Collett in a classic contemporary style, with an emphasis on high-quality materials and creating a sense of space. They are presented in excellent condition, while also offering considerable amounts of storage. In addition, a lift provides access to the different floors.

The property includes a large front garden with lawns, planted flowerbeds, and a paved area for outdoor dining. The garden faces south and is not overlooked, while high walls give an added sense of privacy. In addition, there is a front drive with space for several cars, as well as garage to provide additional parking. Finally, there is a spacious second-floor roof terrace with wooden decking and views over the gardens below.

The house does not face onto the street, but is accessed via a gated private passageway, giving extra security.

Peterborough Road is a short walk away from Parsons Green underground station, as well as the restaurants and shops of the New King’s Road.

Also, the members-only Hurlingham Club is nearby, with its first-class mix of playing fields and sporting facilities.
