Description
Originally built in 1840 by Matthew Wyatt under John Nash’s master plan for the Regent’s Canal, which created Little Venice, the property sits in a picturesque neighborhood of Regent’s Park-style villas bordering the canal.
Formerly the home of Royal Mistress Lillie Langtry, where she entertained Bertie, the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII), and more recently Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, this residence is offered for sale for the first time in 20 years, presenting a rare opportunity to own one of central London’s finest homes.
In excellent condition, the home is designed in a restrained yet expansive Classical style, featuring magnificent formal entertaining rooms, a principal bedroom suite overlooking the canal, and a lower ground floor swimming pool complex inspired by classical Rome and the English country house.
The villa sits on a 0.255-acre corner plot, set back from the road and approached through twin gates, with a pedestrian entrance. The property overlooks Regent’s Canal and includes a secluded wraparound garden, a large carriage drive, additional secure off-street parking, and an integral double garage.
The property also boasts a mature wraparound garden with two separate areas, one featuring Lillie Langtry’s famous love-seat and the other a rear terrace leading to the principal lawned garden. Additional highlights include a carriage drive, secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a double-width integral garage, a swimming pool complex with an adjoining gym, sauna, shower room, and WC, three terraces, a balcony, a wine cellar, a utility/vault, and a plant room.
