Passmore Street, Belgravia

Description

In the affluent neighbourhood of Belgravia sits this sublimely elegant three-bedroomed London home. Welcoming up to six guests, Passmore Street has a contemporary interior that embraces many of the original features of the building, creating a symbiotic décor. Close to Sloane Square station, Passmore Street is in the heart of one of London's most fashionable areas and within easy reach of Knightsbridge and the Royal Parks.

This area of Belgravia is famous for its elegant townhouses, leafy squares, and tree-lined boulevards. Known as the 'Five Fields' during Tudor times, it went from being a haunt for highwaymen to one of London's more gentile neighbourhoods. Today, it's a thriving and lively place where you'll find fine dining on every street and plenty of independent stores to browse. Excellent links to the West End make getting to Drury Lane or Covent Garden easy for a night at the opera or theatre.

Passmore Street utilises modernist motifs softened and brightened with colourful artwork and bespoke furniture, some of which add an Asian design element to the décor. The living room is bright and cheery, with an outside terrace where you can enjoy the evening sunshine. The sleek and well-appointed kitchen and spacious dining area invite guests to socialise and chat while the designated chef whips up a feast.

On the same level as the kitchen and dining room is one of the home's three bedrooms, with a cosy king-size bed and a flat-screen TV. A second guest room on the second level features a spacious double bed and an attractive bathroom next door. The primary suite occupies the third level and boasts a sumptuous super-king-size bed, private dressing room and air conditioning to keep it cool in the summer months – an unusual feature in London properties. The ensuite bathroom is a delight, with an indulgent roll-top soak tub, shower, and vanity unit.

Passmore Street has a small terrace attached to the second-level sitting room and also benefits from a private garden. The suntrap garden has outdoor seating and a barbeque for those warm summer evenings. With an enviable location and plenty of unique features, Passmore Street is a sublime family home that's ideal as a base for a long city break.
