The largest and most expensive home in the history of Notting Hill has hit the market – with architecture inspired by a Greek temple.
The 8,700 square foot mansion sets a new size and price record for the area with its £25million price tag. The palatial property has strong historic vibes with deities carved in limestone in friezes, a striking copper Triton weather vane on the roof and pool with classical frieze based on Dance to the Music of Time.
Havona House, located at 57 Pembridge Villas in Notting Hill, comes with seven bedrooms, 1,409 square feet of garden and balconies and an impressive private spa complete with 21 metre swimming pool.
Built on a site formerly occupied by a hotel, Havona House - meaning ‘Plato’s world of perfection’ -is a legacy project by boutique developer Albert Bridge Properties Ltd and is the result of a four year multi-million design and construction project.
The double fronted, three-storey stucco façade has a central entrance portico with Corinthian stone columns, and tall first floor windows with moulded architraves with cornices above inspired by the Oxford Radcliffe Observatory.
Inside, the architectural detailing has been combined with state-of-the-art smart house technology and large open living spaces. In contrast to the historic façade, the integral garage offers James Bond vibes as the home introduces - for the first time in the UK - the US Park Plus, state-of-the-art, automated technology.
This enables the use of the fully automated car lift and Automatic Vehicle Guidance (AVG) System’s robotic platforms, linked to the house occupants’ mobile phones, to steer without the driver having to be in the car and park three vehicles in the basement level in pre-selected locations.
“Combining classical architecture with modern specification and Feng Shui principals, this unique family house is set apart by the quality of the specification, which incorporates fully automated driverless parking, and the abundance of entertaining space,” says Konstantinos Diamantopoulous, owner of Albert Bridge Properties Ltd. “This includes the private spa with its swimming pool room which can be transformed into a ballroom or banqueting space via the pool’s moving floor.”
“Havona House sets a benchmark for quality in the Notting Hill housing market by introducing a Mayfair level product into the marketplace,” adds Becky Fatemi, Managing Director of Rokstone, the selling agent. “There is a sustained demand for large family houses in Notting Hill and the local marketplace is being transformed by new ultra-prime luxury residences, which in turn are generating premium values and sales deals.”
Havona House is for sale for offers in excess of £25,000,000. For further sales information contact sole agent Rokstone on Tel: +44 (0)20 7580 2030 or visit: www.rokstone.com
