It was wonderful to see a Harrods Estates property recently feature as Property of The Week in Elite Traveler, the private jet magazine that champions sustainable, ethical and environmentally conscious luxury.

Beaufort Gardens is set across three beautiful 19th-century townhouses on a quiet residential street just a stone’s throw from Hyde Park, consisting of nine unique apartments. This includes six lateral apartments, a duplex penthouse and two triplex ‘townhouses’ with private entrances.

Harrods Estates is selling a new three-bedroom apartment on the first floor at 41-43 Beaufort Gardens for £14.5m. Elite Traveler writes: ‘So what can future owners expect? For a start, the apartment is seriously spacious, spanning 2,554 sq ft of indoor space and an additional 350-sq-ft terrace. Entering the property, you walk through a beautiful black and white chequered marble lobby designed by Paris-based interior designer, Pierre Yovanovitch. Throughout the property, Yovanovitch says he “sought to create a balance between a modern aesthetic firmly grounded in the 21^st century and the Victorian classicism so characteristic of London.” The apartment itself feels breezy and laid-back. Stepping inside the sprawling open-plan living/dining room from the lobby, you are met with soaring ceilings, beautiful timber flooring and floor-to-ceiling sash windows that bathe the interiors in natural light.’

The major highlights for Harrods Estates include the latest technology such as underfloor heating and comfort cooling, access to the on-site gym and a personal high-security storage vault.

Simon Barry, Head of New Developments at Harrods Estates says;

‘Large lateral conversions are rare in London, and to find a first floor apartment across three houses with nine, full-length sash windows facing into greenery, is very special. First Floor apartments are the most desirable with the best proportions and ceiling heights of 3.5m. The master bedroom and reception are exceptional and there is direct lift access into the apartments. But what makes 41-43 Beaufort Gardens stand out, is that this a new development, meticulously designed and constructed behind a period façade. The location is perfect: two blocks from Harrods and short stroll to Hyde Park.’
