Marlborough Place, NW8

The only thing tall and skinny about this lateral, double-fronted house is the latte I’ll bring you on the viewing.

This house does NOT have it all. This impressive 5,311 sqft home set over only three floors has a phenomenal floorplate on each generous level and is not like many British residences set over five floors to reach the same size. ALL above ground, it does not have a dark and damp lower ground floor level like most London homes (however, conceptual drawings of an additional floor with pool, cinema, and gym are available upon request - STPP). With six of seven as en suite double bedrooms, it does not follow the three-bedroom-to-one-bathroom ratio like many English houses and with gated parking for three cars, it does not lack off-street parking. It does not have neighbours overlooking the beautiful southeast-facing garden. Finally, it does not have a tiny wardrobe space for the master bedroom as it is almost ubiquitous in the United Kingdom; in contrast, it has an extensive and well-appointed walk-in wardrobe and his and hers bathrooms. This charming period home does not have it all, it has everything you want.

It may look like the house from Home Alone, but with its secure gated frontage, the "Wet Bandits" would have no chance of even getting to the front door to burn their hands.

Location:

Marlborough Place is a sought-after secluded street, just off famous Abbey Road on the West Side of St John's Wood. It is close to all the amenities of the High Street with all its restaurants and boutique shops, Little Venice and the Regent's Canal, Maida Vale, and the The American School in London (ASL). The St John’s Wood Underground Station (Jubilee Line) and Maida Vale Underground Station (Bakerloo Line) are close by for links throughout the City and Westend.
