Story of the Home
A three bedroom ground and lower ground floor apartment, which has been refurbished to a high specification, on the west of Montagu Square.
In the sellers words: ''We had been looking to buy on Montagu Square for many years, and just couldn’t find the right place that offered the grand living space we wanted. When this apartment came on to the market, we jumped at the chance to buy it.Â
It was the position on the garden square that initially stood out for us, right in the middle of the western side - it has lovely views. But what really excited us was that most of the original features were still intact which is so rare to find these days.
The property was completely unmodernised when we bought it, a real blank canvass. We worked with an architect and interior designer, the refurbishment took three years to complete. We finally got the outcome we were hoping for, and it was definitely worth all the effort!
We spent a lot of time sourcing and importing the materials, our quartzite work top was delivered direct from the centre of a mountain and is so strong it wore through several cutting machines. Our bathroom taps are custom made by Barber Wilson, they are considered among the best.
On top of all the luxury fittings we ensured the renovation work was in keeping with the original features, we also futured proofed the apartment with all the latest mod cons, so the cinema/guest bedroom could be changed into a gym/bathroom/dressing room or any other variation. We also installed top of the range sound proofing throughout.
Our favourite room is the living room, it is very quiet and the natural light changes through the day, it is easy to forget that you are only 5 minutes’ walk from Selfridges when looking out of the window on to green garden square. The building is east and west facing, so we get the morning sun on the front and evening sun at the rear, bringing a calm ambiance in the kitchen when we sit down for dinner.
Being so central we have the pick of the West End when it comes to restaurants and shopping, but one of our favourite spots is Boxcar café, just around the corner on Crawford Street. Great for coffee and a croissant. The Portman Estate have helped create an exciting district around New Quebec Street and Seymour Street with independent restaurants, bars and boutiques. If you are into your fitness, there is a great gym called RETRA by Paddington basin, it’s a new concept centred around a tough 30 minute workout, I definitely recommend it.
One of the delights about living in Marylebone, is that both Hyde Park and Regents park are so close. Commuting to the city is easy, nearby underground stations include, Bond Street, Baker Street, Marylebone, Marble Arch and Edgware Road.''
