Collingham Gardens, London SW5

The Old School House, Collingham Gardens. Victorian Grandeur Meets Modern Glamour

Tucked away in the heart of Collingham Gardens, this rare freehold gem is not only blessed with its own private garden. Still, it is also cradled by one of London’s most beautiful private communal squares, a double dose of green serenity right in the city.

Originally crafted in the late 1800s by Sir Ernest George, this Victorian showstopper flaunts nearly 4,500 sq ft of exquisitely designed living space across four floors. Think red-brick charm, tall storybook windows, and Northern European flourishes that give it unbeatable kerb appeal.

Inside, period drama meets modern polish:

Reception Perfection: Oak floors, soaring ceilings, intricate detailing, feature fireplace and a Baccarat crystal chandelier, elegance with a wink of glamour.

Dreamy Principal Suite: Wall panelling, cornicing, indulgent roll-top tub, double sinks, walk-in shower and dressing room, all with garden views.

Chef’s Playground: A custom Poliform kitchen with Miele, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, steel + stone worktops and walls of glass sliding out onto sun-soaked gardens.

Entertainer’s Heaven: A first-floor salon with 6m vaulted ceilings, retractable cinema screen, cocktail bar, and oversized windows the ultimate backdrop for soirées.

Outdoor Living: Over 2,300 sq ft of terraces, patios and private gardens, south-west facing, and seriously rare for central London.

With five bedrooms, five bathrooms, a dramatic secondary suite featuring a private roof terrace, staff accommodation, dual entrances, and bonus study/dining spaces, this home accommodates both grand entertaining and everyday family life.

Fully turnkey, it marries Victorian soul with 21st-century luxuries: Underfloor heating, air-con, and a Sonos sound system woven through every room.

And then there’s the location: Moments from South Kensington, Gloucester Road and Earl’s Court, with Hyde Park, Kensington Palace, the Royal Albert Hall and world-class museums a stroll away.

The Old School House isn’t just a home it’s a lifestyle statement. A rare blend of heritage, glamour, and garden-square tranquillity in one of London’s most coveted postcodes.
