Key features and description

Architecturally celebrated Grade II* listed family home with grand proportions and monumental staircase.

Entering the house on the ground floor, the foyer leads through to a large entrance hall with an impressive staircase of carved stone. The hall gives access to a study, a cloakroom and a guest WC. 

This level also features a generous open-plan kitchen, with a central island, a dining table and a family television area. Panelled walls and moulded ceilings add to the sense of splendour. Meanwhile, west-facing windows bring afternoon light into a room and a pantry gives access to the terrace. 

The lower ground floor features a gym, a media room, and an en suite bedroom. It also includes a self-contained flat that can be used as staff accommodation, as well as separate street access. 

The first floor is entirely occupied by an impressive principal bedroom suite. This provides a well-proportioned bedroom with a wide bay window, as well as an en suite bathroom. Opposite is a light-filled sitting room. 

The first floor half-landing offers another bedroom, with both dressing room and en suite bathroom. The second floor includes three more bedrooms, two of them en suite, along with a large dressing room and a utility room. Finally, the third floor offers two more rooms, an en suite bedroom and a reception room that could become another bedroom. 

This exceptionally wide house has impressive interiors. Its rooms are decorated in a traditional fashion to suite the historic setting, with many original Victorian features preserved. But it is also a comfortable and flexible family home, presented in excellent condition. 

The property includes a rear patio garden and a west-facing terrace giving access to the communal square. There is also a paved front garden, providing added separation from the street. : Collingham Gardens was built in the 1880s on the Gunter Estate by Ernest George and Harold Peto. Its grand properties blend Queen Anne Revival architecture with Dutch, German and Northern European designs. Each property is unique, and No.5 has a facade inspired by traditional Flemish design. 

The neighbourhood has historically been home to several celebrated residents. In the 1920s it was occupied Harold Carter, the Egyptologist who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb. Nowadays, both Earl's Court and Gloucester Road underground stations are close, and the area is also well supplied with independent schools.
