A restored duplex overlooking Hyde Park has come to market for £11.5m with direct access to a four-acre private garden hidden behind one of London’s historic terraces.
The three-bedroom property in Hyde Park Gardens provides 4,071 sq ft of accommodation over several levels and has undergone an extensive back-to-brick renovation.
Among its more unusual features is a south-facing terrace spanning more than 30ft, from which a gated staircase leads directly into the residents-only communal gardens.
The share-of-freehold property is being marketed by Beauchamp Estates and retains period features including fireplaces, decorative plasterwork and ceiling heights of around 14ft in its principal rooms.
HYDE PARK SETTING
The main reception and dining room opens through three sets of French doors onto the terrace, which overlooks the communal gardens.
Inside, the property includes three bedroom suites, a kitchen and breakfast room, media room and study, alongside an internal passenger lift.
The principal bedroom overlooks the gardens and includes a walk-in wardrobe and marble bathroom, while a mezzanine is currently used as a home office.
Rosy Khalastchy, Head of Beauchamp Estates St John’s Wood, says: “Hyde Park Gardens is truly one of London’s hidden gems and this home a jewel. The rare setting and discreet, convenient location, make it ideal for those seeking an exceptional central London home.
“The scale, ceiling heights, private terrace, and communal gardens, combined with the standard to which the property has been renovated rarely comes to the market and should be viewed to be fully appreciated.”
HISTORIC ADDRESS
Hyde Park Gardens forms part of the Hyde Park Estate and was conceived by architect and surveyor Samuel Pepys Cockerell as a prestigious residential address intended to rival Belgravia.
The terrace was largely built between 1837 and 1840, with its layout directing traffic and services towards the mews to the north and leaving the garden-facing southern side largely free from traffic.
Historic residents of the terrace have included members of the aristocracy and Lord Randolph Churchill.

The property sits on the northern side of the 350-acre Hyde Park, close to Connaught Village and within reach of Mayfair, Marylebone and Knightsbridge.
It is being offered through Beauchamp Estates at £11.5m.
