Albion Street, Tyburnia, London, W2

This handsome freehold townhouse lies on Albion Street, between Hyde Park and the independent shops and cafés of Connaught Village. Behind its brick and stucco façade are five floors of generous rooms, with tall sash windows, decorative cornicing and period fireplaces. A private courtyard garden at the rear has room for a dining table, while a first-floor balcony opens directly from the principal bedroom.



The raised ground floor reception room is over 23 ft. long, with a ceiling just over 10 ft. high. Light from the tall sash windows falls across the parquet floor, and a fireplace anchors the main seating area. The courtyard garden is reached from the hall, which also has a guest cloakroom.



On the lower ground floor, pink striped wallpaper and a fireplace give the dining room a character of its own. It comfortably accommodates a long table and opens onto a paved patio. The separate kitchen has glossy black cabinetry, an island and space for a breakfast table beneath overhead glazing. A utility room and built-in storage sit on the same floor, along with a study that can serve as a fifth bedroom.



The principal suite spans the first floor. Two tall sash windows, a period fireplace and a ceiling nearly 11 ft. high lend the bedroom much of the grandeur of the reception room below. There is fitted storage, access to the balcony and an ensuite bathroom with twin basins, a bath and a separate shower. The second floor has a similarly generous double bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a separate bathroom, while two further bedrooms share a bathroom on the top floor.



Hyde Park is a short walk from the house, and Connaught Village has independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants close at hand. Marylebone and Oxford Street are also within easy reach. Marble Arch and Lancaster Gate are on the Central line, while Paddington offers Elizabeth line and Heathrow Express services.
