Saint Katharine's Precinct, Regent's Park, London NW1, United Kingdom

Description

One of six houses in the St. Katharine's Precinct in Regent's Park, this Grade II*-listed Gothic Revival property is a fine example of a historical home that has been redesigned to perfectly suit modern living. Originally built between 1826–1827 by the renowned architect Ambrose Poynter, a founding director of the Institute of British Architects and an associate of John Nash, the architect of Regent’s Park, the property is part of a rare collection of houses grouped in a private enclave overlooking Regent’s Park.

Steeped in history, St. Katharine's Precinct originally formed part of the grounds of the Royal Hospital of St Katharine, a foundation established by Queen Matilda in 1148. Before relocating to Regent’s Park, the hospital was based near the Tower of London. Over the centuries, the property has been home to senior clerics and members of the Royal Household, including Reverend George Frederick Nicolay, Chaplain to the Duke of York, and Reverend George Townsend Hudson, Domestic Chaplain to Queen Victoria.

This showstopping property spans approximately 6,183 sq ft across five storeys, with flexible and spacious living accommodation. Set back behind a gravel driveway with pier gates and railings, the home is utterly private despite its situation in the heart of the city.

Inside, a grand entrance hallway leads to interconnecting reception rooms, including a double reception room, a library/study, and a family room, meaning there is plenty of entertaining space. The eat-in kitchen is exceptionally light and is perfect for family gatherings, with direct access to the beautifully landscaped garden.

The first floor hosts the principal suite, complete with a spacious dressing room and an ensuite bathroom. Several further bedrooms are arranged across the upper floors, many with walk-in wardrobes and generous proportions. Five bathrooms, a guest cloakroom, are complemented by a variety of amenities including an infrared sauna.

Lying between Regent’s Park and Primrose Hill, the property has panoramic park views and is close to Camden, St John’s Wood, and the West End. Transport links are excellent, with Camden Town and St John’s Wood Underground Stations nearby.
