This is the 'largest single property publicly and currently on sale in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea' according to Savills and Rokstone who are the joint agents in the sale on Stuart House, which arrives to the market for a healthy £35 million.
Naturally, the property is impressive.
The Queen Anne- style corner property measures 11,855 sq ft of accommodation, spread out over six floors and holds the title (amongst others) as being the only property with a swimming pool in Cadogan Square.
The sprawling mansion is one of seven red-bricked properties that has remained as a house, with many of the other original mansion blocks turned into apartments over time.
Becky Fatemi, founder of Rokstone Properties claims that 'there are now only a handful of large, multi-storey family houses which are more than 10,000 sq ft in central London.'
Noting that 'the trend to hollow out these buildings and splice them up into lateral apartments, which has been particularly prevalent in Knightsbridge, makes the traditional trophy home even rarer.'
'Comparable to very rare fine art,' Stuart House has a plethora of space and its grand rooms and tall ceilings mixed with Victorian architecture make the perfect concoction for entertaining.
The house was designed in 1880 by architects F.G Knight and Hunt Steward, and today the original ornate moulding, huge stone-fireplaces and sweeping staircases are some of the original period features that help the property maintain an air of grandeur and Victorian sophistication.
There are seven reception rooms, five bedrooms (including a 'teenage retreat' on the top floor), a family 'den' and study.
Downstairs, the lower ground floor gives way to a 'fitness retreat' with a long swimming pool and gym facilities (this is where you can find the staff accommodation, too).
If you're looking for a whole lot of space in central London and have a cheque book that can take the brunt of a £35 million price tag, then Stuart House is a rare and exquisite property that offers the chance to experience the very best of London living.
Stuart House is currently on the market via Savills and Rokstone Properties for £35 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agents for further details.
