Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment in a historic Grade II listed building on iconic Harley Street. It’s one of a collection of beautifully finished apartments in a building designed by award-winning architects. The apartment is sophisticated but relaxed – modern elements like stainless steel and glass combine with Persian rugs and a tweed-covered sofa. There’s a petite kitchenette to cook in, but you’ll also have plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from nearby – this home is based in the heart of Marylebone, after all. Oxford Street is just a ten-minute walk away in one direction, and Regent’s Park in the other.
