Old Queen Street, St James's, London, SW1H

Set within a Grade II-listed Georgian residence on one of St James’s Park’s most architecturally distinguished streets, this exceptional townhouse extends to approximately 6,862 sq ft across six floors. Designed by Sir Robert Taylor, the residence combines historic architectural character with contemporary design, generous proportions and modern amenities.



Situated within the Birdcage Walk Conservation Area, the house retains an impressive sense of scale, with high ceilings and elegant period detailing throughout. A private lift connects all six floors, while the carefully considered layout balances grand entertaining spaces with generous private accommodation and a wealth of outdoor space.



The ground floor is introduced by an imposing 20-foot entrance hall leading to a formal dining room, which opens directly onto a private 23-foot terrace. The lower ground floor forms the centre of everyday living, with a substantial 27-foot kitchen and family room opening onto a beautifully landscaped 42-foot garden. A separate prep kitchen, adjoining patio and traditional external vaults provide additional flexibility and storage.



The first floor is dedicated to formal reception spaces, with two impressive rooms spanning the depth of the property. The second floor is given entirely to the principal bedroom suite, offering exceptional proportions, extensive private space and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom.



The fourth and fifth floors provide a further four bedroom suites arranged across two floors, each with its own en-suite bathroom. This versatile configuration offers generous accommodation for family and guests, while maintaining a strong sense of privacy across the upper levels.



The sixth floor provides a dedicated cinema and media room, which opens directly onto a private rooftop terrace. From here, uninterrupted views extend across the Royal Park, creating a remarkable setting for entertaining or enjoying the outlook. The floor also offers the potential to be converted into a separate flat, subject to the necessary consents.



The residence enjoys a particularly rare outlook over the lake and landscaped gardens of St James’s Park. Set on a quiet, low-traffic street, the property is approximately four minutes from St James’s Park Underground station and five minutes from Westminster Underground station, providing convenient connections across central London. With its architectural heritage, exceptional scale, private garden and distinguished setting, this is a rare opportunity to create a substantial freehold residence in the heart of Westminster.
