Stanhope Terrace, Bayswater, London, W2

Behind a handsome white stucco façade on one of Bayswater's most sought-after terraces, this five-bedroom townhouse unfolds across more than 3,000 sq ft of boldly designed living space. Extensively renovated with a striking contemporary aesthetic, the house pairs generous proportions with exceptional entertaining spaces, all within moments of Hyde Park and Connaught Village.



On the ground floor, a dramatic open-plan kitchen, dining and family room stretches across the full width of the house, where bookmatched marble surfaces, bespoke cabinetry and a substantial island create a spectacular focal point. Integrated Gaggenau and Miele appliances are seamlessly incorporated, while lathe windows draw natural light deep into the interior; cleverly concealed storage and a guest cloakroom complete the floor.



The whole first floor is dedicated to reception space. Measuring almost 26 ft in length, the principal reception room is an impressive setting for entertaining, with fitted cabinetry framing a feature fireplace, integrated media wall and comfortable seating areas beneath high ceilings and elegant cornicing. A separate study provides a quiet workspace overlooking the terrace.



The lower ground floor has been transformed into a cinema room, while five bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors. The second floor accommodates four well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which is ensuite. Both this and the family bathroom have richly veined natural stone and bespoke joinery. Crowning the house, the principal suite occupies the entire top floor. A spacious bedroom opens directly onto a private roof terrace, while a ensuite bathroom and ample fitted wardrobes create a peaceful, hotel-style retreat.



Throughout the home, dark timber flooring, sculptural lighting, designer wall coverings and carefully selected stone lend a distinctive sense of character. Large sash windows maintain a strong connection to the period architecture while allowing light to flood each floor.



Stanhope Terrace sits just north of Hyde Park in one of W2's most convenient positions. Connaught Village's independent boutiques, cafés and restaurants are only a short stroll away, while the shopping and dining destinations of Marylebone, Mayfair and the West End are all easily reached. Lancaster Gate, Paddington and Marble Arch stations provide excellent transport connections across London and beyond, including the Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express.
