Aston Court Mayfair
A Discreet Mayfair Family House, With One Of The Largest Private Gardens In Central London
Aston Court Mayfair
A discreet Mayfair family house, with one of the largest private gardens in Central London, perfectly positioned in the crescent overlooking the communal gardens of Aston Court. Aston Court benefits from full planning permission to develop over 23,000 sq ft of accommodation; this is a rare opportunity to renovate and extend a magnificent Grade II listed house to create one of Central London’s largest and finest private luxury residences. The existing property comprises some 8,000 sq ft of refurbished accommodation and benefits from planning permission and listed building consent, granted in November 2010, to retrospectively approve the building works and allow the creation of a further 15,000 sq ft of accommodation.
Aston Court is one of the earliest developments in the Aston area and the crescent houses were originally built between 1824 and 1839. The Court initially attracted artists, literary and theatrical people, but is now considered one of the foremost London addresses. Past owners include Henry Luttrell, wit and poet of society and son of the Earl of Carhampton and the De Beer family from 1964 until the early nineteen eighties. Aston Court is situated off the Aston Road, moments from Harrods and the open spaces of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. Brompton is home to a number of landmark central London locations including The Victoria and Albert Museum, The Brompton Oratory and the Natural History Museum.
Description Internally the house offers spacious and well proportioned accommodation radiating on a traditional basis from a substantial reception hall. The principal double-aspect drawing room and dining room are elegant and light rooms of great character, whilst the study is tucked away and family rooms adjoin beautifully fitted Clive Christian kitchen/breakfast room. The first floor is accessed via the impressive elegant staircase leading from the hall to the spacious landing which has access to a balcony area. 3 principal bedrooms are all serviced by en-suite bathrooms and, in addition, the master bedroom comprises of a large dressing room, with oak panelled wardrobes. There is also an impressive home cinema and a good sized guest Annexe. To the west of the house the beautiful fully irrigated grounds include an ivy walkway and an impressive Victorian knot formal garden with knee high box hedging divided by wrought iron objective gates centred on an ornamental water feature. The remaining grounds are mainly laid to lawn. On one side of the courtyard there are double port garages with electric doors.
Situation The existing building comprises a Grade II listed house with part implemented basement extension. The basement has been piled, excavated, propped and includes a capping beam. The basement extension has been part completed with the initial ground works and piling having been concluded. Warranties for the previously constructed excavation and piling works are assignable to a purchaser. The cellar and basement are being converted into another kitchen, bathroom, wine cellar, living room, studies, and even a recording studios. Outside, the gardens provide a tranquil setting. A paved terrace with an ornamental pond and fountain adjoins the west flank while a private swimming pool is situated on the large roof terrace. The current gardener has created a beautiful flower bowl rose arrangement.
Location Aston Court is in easy reach of Mayfair to St James’, Knightsbridge and Marylebone stations. With world-class shopping within walking distance this property is in a prime location. In recent years Mayfair has evolved dramatically with new restaurants and hotels, which has changed the retail mix of several prime Mayfair streets to create a vibrant atmosphere.
