Hertford Street, Mayfair, London, W1J

This rarely available property is brought to the market having had only two owners in circa 60 years, and having been fully refurbished and restored by the current owner. It is a bright and spacious first floor apartment, located within a Grade II Listed building in the heart of Mayfair, offering an abundance of entertaining space, restored period features, bespoke joinery and state of the art design and technology.

The building benefits from wonderful natural light and provides elegant, uninterrupted views from all aspects. It was built and designed in 1768 by a leading building contractor and master bricklayer, Henry Holland Senior, and his son, Henry Holland Junior, the talented late eighteenth century architect. No. 18 is one of the first houses Holland designed and is of significant architectural importance with its impressive principal staircase considered to be one of the best surviving staircases of its time in London.

The apartment itself offers 1,691 sq ft of space, with accommodation comprising one of the largest double reception rooms in Mayfair, with impressive 15 ft ceilings, and three windows overlooking Hertford Street. There is a 30 ft long kitchen area featuring integrated Gaggenau appliances and a bespoke Arabescato marble topped island.

The property further benefits from a separate principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe on an upper floor, and a further double bedroom and separate bathroom; both with high gloss sycamore veneered panelling typically found on yachts. The apartment also showcases Lutron homeworks, Kreon lights, original restored fireplaces, flooring, cornices and wood detailing, a handcrafted oak trim staircase, Michael Anastassiades chandeliers, Vola bathroom fittings, bespoke limestone bathroom slabwork, and modern steel structural work.

The communal area of 18 Hertford Street features a double height hallway with a graceful curving stone cantilevered staircase, topped with an oval skylight.

Running from Curzon Street to Park Lane, Hertford Street is ideally located for the open spaces of Green Park and Hyde Park, and all that Mayfair and the West End has to offer. There is easy access to the world class shopping of Mount Street and Bond Street, as well as the majority of London's Michelin starred restaurants. Excellent local transport links include Green Park tube station which is within 0.3 miles (Jubilee, Piccadilly and Victoria lines). All distances are approximate.
