A six-storey, four-bedroom Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in the heart of Westminster is up for sale for £4.95 million with Dexters.

Located on the historic Stafford Place, the property has been home to statesmen, industrialists, and Royal confidantes over the centuries.

Stafford Place, situated between Palace Street and Buckingham Gate, is a prestigious London address within the Birdcage Walk Conservation Area. Historic England identifies this home as dating from the late 18th or early 19th century. The house is in proximity to some of London's most iconic landmarks, including Buckingham Palace, St James’s Park, No 10 Downing Street, and numerous embassies, all within a five-minute walk.

Built of attractive yellow London brick, the property boasts a restrained façade with a round-headed entrance, fanlight, and three pairs of elegant sash windows. While the exterior maintains its classic Georgian charm, the interior has been beautifully updated by past and present owners.

Spread across six storeys, the home provides over 3,100 sq ft of living space. Each level has been uniquely designed, featuring a magnificent split-level kitchen and dining room on the lower-ground floor with stone floors and a stunning glass atrium-style ceiling. The room opens onto a garden landscaped by Haruko Seki of Studio Lasso, known for blending traditional Japanese design with contemporary elements.

The ground floor hosts a light-filled study and reception room, while the first floor contains two additional reception rooms adorned with globally sourced objets d’art, ceramics, and curiosities. The upper floors accommodate three large bedrooms, with the main bedroom featuring a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite bathroom. The main bathroom continues the East meets West theme with an ofuro, a traditional Japanese wooden bathtub.

This Stafford Place townhouse neighbours a Blue Plaque property, the former London residence of Liberal MP Lord Leslie Hore-Belisha. Known for his road safety initiatives, including the introduction of the "Belisha beacon", Hore-Belisha's legacy adds a significant historical dimension to the neighbourhood.

Stafford Place is a vibrant blend of residences and offices, echoing the dynamism of the capital. It is moments away from the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace, Green Park, and St James’s Park, a gentle stroll to Belgravia, and a short walk from Pimlico's antique emporiums and Tate Britain. Additionally, the newly rejuvenated Victoria neighbourhood, a former shabby district turned cultural, culinary, and social hub, is on the property's doorstep.

The Georgian townhouse on Stafford Place offers a unique blend of history and modern luxury, providing a rare opportunity to own a piece of London's rich heritage.

Harry Laflin, Manager at Dexters Westminster commented: “In the heart of Westminster, surrounded by some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks and symbols of power, Stafford Place is a truly extraordinary property. Full of history, the Grade II listed late Georgian freehold townhouse stands out from its neighbours, elegantly arranged over six floors of superb living space. 

“Classic Georgian detailing paired with a combination of both contemporary and traditional interiors, plus an unusually large garden for the area, make this home completely unique. It is a true oasis in a quiet, friendly street, with all the best of central London life on its doorstep.”
