High ceilings, ornate mouldings and a marble fireplace surround add to the impression of splendour. This floor also contains a study, a guest WC and a French door leading out to the rear terrace.

Meanwhile, the fourth floor offers a penthouse principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The space is decorated with wooden panelling and flooded with brightness from high ceilings and skylights. There is also a fifth bedroom reached via a spiral staircase.

The house has been decorated in a traditional style to suit its historic setting. Wooden floors in the main living areas add to elegance throughout. Unusually for a listed property, it also contains a lift.

Albion Street was laid out in the 1820s by architect Samuel Pepys Cokerell. Many of the houses were constructed a decade later, and are now Grade II listed. The street was once home to William Makepeace Thackeray, author of the celebrated London novel Vanity Fair.

From here, the open spaces of Hyde Park are close, while Marble Arch station is also nearby. In addition, the restaurants and independent shops of Marylebone are within easy reach.
