Pure Qua Harrington Gardens was originally built for “The Quality,” the gentry of Victorian Britain. The quiet, tree-lined street laid out on the ancestral estate of the Earls of Harrington was home to notables such as the writer and wit W.S. Gilbert who wrote many of the lyrics to the Gilbert and Sullivan operettas at number 39. The Harringtons has been rebuilt behind the original façade to the highest technical specification. Timber frame windows have been refurbished and updated throughout, and stainless steel and glass ladder stairs rise to the mezzanine floors. Security is paramount. Entry is controlled by a colour video entryphone with an audio terminal in the master bedroom, which also has a panic button. Double deadlocks are fitted to all front doors.
