This outstanding Grade II listed property was built in 1845 by Thomas Cundy II as part of Sir Robert Grosvenor's vision for Belgravia. The elegant Regency architecture and interiors will be thoughtfully restored throughout. The attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship enable this house in Chester Square to take its place among the best homes London has to offer. Belgravia, with it's elegant stucco fronted terraces, houses some of the worlds best homes and deserves its reputation as "the capital of the fashionable world'. On the market for the first time in 90 years, the meticulous restoration of this grand historic town house will create a beautiful home, where quality and conservation go hand in hand. The main house and it's mews form a substantial family home. This beautiful home is discreetly located to the South of Eaton Square in the heart of the Belgrave Estate on Chester Square. Chester Square is regarded as one of London's great garden Squares and is surrounded by long stucco fronted terraces that overlook mature, manicured gardens. Chester Square is one of the most tranquil of Belgravia's Garden squares and it's homes are amongst the most distinguished and desired in Belgravia. Chester Squares is enviably positioned next to the shops and eateries of Elizabeth Street and Ecclestone Yard, within walking distance of Sloane Street and its world leading fashion boutiques and just North of the Pimlico Road design district where you will find famous galleries and interior boutiques. Sloane Square and the King's Road are just around the corner and Victoria station is less than five minutes walk, with its travel links to the capital and beyond. Belgravia and in turn Chester Square, were built almost entirely on the Five Field, land acquired by Sir Thomas Grosvenor in 1677 on his marriage to the heiress Mary Davies. Belgravia's name is derived from Belgrave, a small village in Cheshire on the Grosvenor's ancestral estate. Chester Square was started by Thomas Cubitt in the 1820's and finished in the late 1840's by Thomas Cundy II. It is overlooked from the Southwest by St Michael's Church. The Grosvenor family identified the need for a new district between Chelsea and Mayfair and instructed James Wyatt to lay out an estate based on the successful estates John Nash had built in Bloomsbury and Regents Park. It was as intended and Belgravia's success drew in the famous and influential, a quality that remaines to this day.
