139 Piccadilly is a Grade II listed building arranged over six floors, dating back to the mid-18th century. This grand, former townhouse offers over 14,000 sq ft of accommodation and showcases a smart period façade, beautifully preserved original features throughout, and far-reaching views over Green Park. It has most recently been used as an office building but is currently vacant from the ground floor up, with only the apartment at lower ground level occupied. This is an excellent opportunity for the regeneration of an impressive period building, and there is residential planning permission in place to convert the property back into a townhouse. There are four sizeable garages included within the sale, located on nearby Down Street Mews.
