Princes Gate is an impressive Grade II listed, stucco-fronted townhouse occupying a key position in this fine terrace of period houses directly facing Hyde Park and backing onto perhaps the finest communal gardens in central London. The house was constructed in the late 1840s by the architect Harvey Lonsdale Elms and this world-famous address has a rich history of prominent persons who have lived there.

In excess of 16,000 sq ft, the house is arranged over ground, lower ground and four upper floors and has a private south-facing terrace leading to the magnificent communal gardens to the rear.

The house offers excellent width due to being double fronted at the rear and this creates exceptional full width reception rooms on both the ground and first floor which would be ideal for entertainment on a grand and formal scale.

The upper floors of the house include an impressive principal bedroom suite featuring a large dressing room and private bathroom overlooking Hyde Park as well as a further ten bedrooms. The lower floor of the house is split into two areas with a large swimming pool and casual reception area underneath the terrace as well as an industrial kitchen and separate staff areas with access to the lift.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
