This palatial blue-plaque townhouse on South Street is for sale for the first time in twenty years. The seven-storey 6,477 sq ft townhouse overlooking Mount Street Gardens was once the home of Lord Ashfield, the celebrated First Chairman of London Transport and founder of the London Underground. The plaque bearing his name is almost unique, recognising his life's work by using the iconic London Underground typeface that he helped to design.
An imposing, highly modernised, townhouse set on a stunning Victorian terrace, surrounded by an abundance of large green spaces and benefiting from access to the communal garden at the back of the property.
This classically elegant Grade II Listed freehold house was built by J.J Stevenson, master of the Queen Anne revival style, between 1896 and 1898, and retains many of its original features. Located on “one of Mayfair's most architecturally beautiful streets,” it provides an impressive family home with its six sumptuous bedrooms and a lavish space for entertaining, with ceiling heights of 3.5m in the formal reception rooms. Its two rear balconies offer magnificent views over Mount Street Gardens, which pre-date the house by nine years and house a variety of exotic plants including a Canary Island date palm and three dawn redwoods from China.
The property was built at the dawn of the Victorian era and boasts a beautiful facade, constructed using design plans drawn up during the Regency era, resulting in its highly neoclassical aesthetic. The stunning facade has an elegant, arched, "smooth faced" rusticated base storey, second floor windows recessed behind faux arches with decorative keystones and neoclassical friezes at their base,  as well as a multitude of pilasters, with Corinthian capitals, spread across the facades first and second floors.
The house is laid out over seven levels, comprising lower ground, ground and five upper floors connected by an impressive cantilevered staircase, and offers a breathtaking example of Queen Anne Revival Style architecture. Guided by the Victorian obsession with looking back and seeking to improve styles of the British past, the architect Stevenson emulated the grand buildings of Queen Anne's reign, designing with a focus on classical beauty - balance, harmony and light. As a result, the house is characterised by high ceilings, impressive windows and elegant cornicing, to achieve an effect of symmetry and order.  
The front porch benefits from cover provided by a substantial portico with a bespoke lantern hanging from its centre, the gentle glow of which accentuates the properties stunning facade and guides guests to the front door at night.  
The lower ground floor contains an impressive family kitchen/dining room with a large central island, aga-style ovens and a great ornate fireplace. To the front there are staff quarters and an assortment of storage rooms and facilities.
