Green Street, Mayfair, W1K

An imposing townhouse with lift and direct access on to private gardens, for sale in Mayfair. 38 Green Street is an attractive stone fronted period building spanning 3 windows across with decorative ‘Porte Italia’ style stone carving as well as a balconette with decorative ironwork. Rarely for a period building of its stature, the house is unlisted but still maintains a wealth of period features both inside and out. Measuring 7,193 square feet, the house offers well-balanced accommodation throughout, all accessed off a grand central staircase as well as having a generous passenger lift to all but the very top floor. Needing little if any changes to the layout, the house could however be vastly improved by a comprehensive program of refurbishment works. Upon entering the house, there is a grand entrance vestibule with a feature fireplace and intricate cornice detail to instantly impress on arrival. This room leads through to the main entrance hall with the central staircase bisecting the house. The principal family room sits at the rear of the house on the ground floor which offers direct access to the hidden Green Street gardens for the private use of residents only. On the first floor there are two further reception rooms of equal prominence with a large study on street side and an opulent drawing room looking over the gardens below. All reception rooms have a wealth of period carvings and mouldings. A sizeable principal bedroom suite occupies the entire second floor with 4 further bedroom suites found on the 3rd and 4th floors. At the very top of the house is the ‘sun room’ which leads to a private roof terrace from which to enjoy far reaching roof top views over Mayfair and beyond. The family kitchen and staff accommodation are at lower ground floor level. On the lower ground floor sits the family kitchen which has its own access to the private gardens via a cast iron spiral staircase. The space could be improved upon by replacing the kitchen with a modern equivalent and possibly re-working the room to allow for more light. Domestic staff are well looked after with comfortable rooms as well as a substantial laundry room. The Green Street Gardens are highly sought after but rarely available are properties with access to this hidden Mayfair oasis. Residents can only enjoy use of them if they are able to directly access them which is reserved for a small handful of houses and a couple of boutique apartment blocks. The grounds are well maintained by a team of gardeners for a nominal annual service charge.
