Hyde Park is on the doorstep of this London townhouse

Tucked along a private curve on one of the most discreet addresses in Knightsbridge, this wide and low-built house reads as a quiet study in proportion and restraint. Set opposite Hyde Park, the three-storey home sits behind its own 800sqft front garden, where clipped greenery softens the building’s 46-foot facade and forms a rare-for-London enclosure. Inside, the mood shifts from seclusion to considered craftsmanship, shaped by a recent architectural renovation and interior design by Taylor Howes.

Across 4,019sqft, the interior moves from one elegant room to the next. The ground floor hosts three distinct living spaces — reception, dining and a family kitchen — each defined by generous ceiling heights. A bespoke staircase leads to the first floor, where three bedroom suites, including the principal, occupy a quiet axis above the garden. The lower level introduces two further suites with outdoor access, alongside a media room and a spa zone with steam and sauna.

Material choices anchor the restoration: marble-lined bathrooms, antique bronze Crittall doors and custom cabinetry sit alongside a Crestron AV system, underfloor heating and air conditioning. The house includes rear mews parking, with further spaces available by arrangement. It’s listed at £16.995 million with Forbes Gilbert-Green.
