Former WW1 Hospital Hits The London Market As Four Bedroom Mansion

A rare Grade I listed gothic mansion, used as a hospital during The Great War, has come to the London property market, complete with a style overhaul.

Located at St Katharine’s Precinct in an exclusive cul-de-sac, this mansion resides next to the iconic Danish Church of St Katharine and was once part of a World War I hospital. The exterior of the 4,819 square foot mansion reflects the neo-Gothicism of the church, and is unlike any other Regent’s Park residence.

The four-bedroom home’s iconic exterior features an arched doorway, grey brickwork and high feature chimneys, with the interiors recently been renovated to utilise space and light and compliment the recognisable exterior with a contemporary touch.

The entrance hall leads to the formal reception room which features a gas fireplace and parqueting floors. The room has been decorated with bespoke artwork and provides dual aspect views onto the gravel cul-de-sac and communal green.

The lower ground floor provides a state-of-the-art cinema room with an adjoining storage room, as well as a spacious study that leads to the lateral open plan space contacting the kitchen, dining room and living room.

The space was made for entertaining, with marble floors and adjoining wine cellar and the floor to ceiling windows offer views onto the vibrant vertical garden.

The master bedroom suite is on the first floor, complete with an en-suite bathroom with free-standing oval bath and a walk-in-wardrobe.  The second floor of the mansion boasts two spacious guest bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom as well as a large family bathroom with both a bath and shower.

The third floor of the mansion provides a further lateral guest bedroom with unparalleled views of the park and surrounding famous Regent’s Park Nash terraces.

The iconic architecture and design of St Katharine’s Precinct is unlike any other Regent’s Park property,” says Howard Kayman, Sales Agent at Aston Chase. “The rich and moving history of the cul-de-sac is reflected in the mansion’s retained gothic features which is tastefully complimented by the contemporary interiors. Alongside its history and architecture, the large entertaining spaces, spacious bedrooms and exceptional views, are what make this property special.”

St Katharine’s Precinct is situated within moments of Regent’s Park, with restaurants, bars and boutique shops and is within walking distance of Marylebone High Street. The home is on sale for £11,500,000, and for more details visit www.astonchase.com.
