6 bed town house for sale

Chester Terrace, Regents Park, London NW1

Description

Forming part of one of Regent’s Park’s most historically and culturally significant terraces, this substantial end-of-terrace house has an exceptionally large private garden and far-reaching views across the park. Completed in 1825, Chester Terrace was designed by Decimus Burton from plans originally drawn by John Nash and is now Grade I listed.

Extending to approximately 4,844 sq ft, the house has recently been refurbished throughout. Six bedrooms and versatile living spaces are arranged across five principal levels, with a passenger lift providing access between them.

The ground floor is centred around a large open-plan kitchen and dining room at the rear, created by incorporating the former mews house into the main residence. This double-height space forms the heart of the home, with a mezzanine study above and doors opening directly onto the garden. A reception room and separate television room are arranged towards the front of the house.

Measuring approximately 67 ft by 62 ft at its widest points, the garden is understood to be the largest on Chester Terrace and among the most substantial private gardens adjoining Regent’s Park. Mature trees and established hedging provide privacy, while paved terraces offer ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining.

The principal bedroom occupies the original first-floor reception room and benefits from high ceilings, tall sash windows and decorative cornicing. It also has views over the private garden, extensive fitted storage and a large marble bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Two further bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms are arranged across the second floor.

The third floor has two additional bedrooms, one ensuite, a family bathroom and a separate office, with open views over the surrounding rooftops. A sixth bedroom is found on the lower-ground floor, alongside a private gym, utility room, kitchenette and further bathroom. Two secluded patios bring natural light into this level, while a plant room and extensive storage complete the practical accommodation.

Central air conditioning and heating, off-street parking and the passenger lift add further convenience.

Chester Terrace stands on the eastern side of Regent’s Park, its grand façade and monumental Corinthian arches making it one of the area’s most recognisable addresses. The terrace has also appeared in numerous film and television productions, contributing to its enduring cultural significance.

Regent’s Park’s landscaped gardens, boating lake, sports grounds and London Zoo are moments away, while Marylebone’s restaurants, independent shops and cafés are within easy reach. Great Portland Street Underground station provides connections across the capital, with Fitzrovia and the West End also close by.
