Lofty Height Of Design

An extraordinary 3,383 square foot, three-bedroom Manhattan loft-style Knightsbridge penthouse on London’s Cadogan Square is on the market for sale via sole selling agent, Merchants Row. With an interior scheme designed by acclaimed British interior designer, Louise Bradley, 18-foot-high vaulted ceilings, three entertaining areas, luxurious bedroom suites, a mezzanine floor, private lift access and views of Harrods, this home is listed with an asking price of £12.5 Million.

For decades, the penthouse has been one of Knightsbridge’s best-kept secrets: This sale listing marks its return to the market after 50 years of ownership by the current vendors. Located in a grand, red brick, Flemish-style Victorian mansion designed and built in the late 19^th century for Lord Cadogan by notable Scottish architect, William Young, potential buyers will see that this home is a fusion of metropolitan historical architecture and innovative, contemporary interior design.

Louise Bradley was instructed to deliver a bright, contemporary, art-filled home, playing with the penthouse’s generous dimensions and architectural details, creating a flow of distinctive rooms and spaces. The design studio structurally reconfigured the internal layout, opening the ceilings to follow the roofline, and in the process, revealing a dramatic double-height, 18 ft vaulted ceiling and mezzanine floor. Bradley’s elegant, elevated signature design principles can be seen throughout the property, from the bespoke joinery to the sophisticated use of pared-back colours and textures.

The entrance hall leads into the timber floored dual-aspect double reception room, which spans the entire depth of the building. Full-height glazing, windows at floor level and a series of large skylights in the vaulted ceiling allow boundless light into each room.

Beyond the entrance, a cantilevered glass staircase with timber treads and glass balustrades leads up to the mezzanine floor which offers a second living space/ home office overlooking the main living room below. Bespoke joinery at the floor and mezzanine levels contributes a stunning double-height library rising through one end of the living space.

The reception room leads into a dual-aspect media room which forms a third living space. The main reception room also leads to a well-appointed family kitchen with a marble breakfast bar and a separate utility room with design details including white stone flooring, and white and timber cabinets.

To the other side of the marble-floored entrance hall are the luxurious bedroom suites, accessed via an inner hall to provide maximum privacy. Each bedroom has a marble ensuite shower room inspired by luxurious hotel living.

The penthouse is complete with a guest cloakroom, a separate storage room and a 607 square foot storage loft area. The state-of-the-art FF&E includes feature lighting and spotlighting throughout and a sophisticated Home Automation System inclusive of lighting control, audio and TV distribution including discreet underfloor heating and comfort cooling systems and luxury carpets.

Waleed Mohammed, Founding Director of Merchants Row says: “This magnificent Knightsbridge penthouse, just a few minutes’ walk from Harrods, provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to purchase one of the finest penthouses in Cadogan Square. This awe-inspiring penthouse, newly designed by luxury tastemaker Louise Bradley, exudes luxury and sophistication and is perfect for a discerning family wanting a London base or a businessman seeking a trophy home in Knightsbridge to show the global business community he has arrived in London.”

Louise Bradley, founder of the eponymous design studio, says: “It was such a pleasure to see this project come to life. This piece of prime real estate in one of London’s most spectacular postcodes was deserving of a scheme that reflected the client’s brief and the architecture of the space. I wanted to create a timeless interior that combined all the luxury of modern living against the impressive William Young architectural exterior.”

The penthouse owner will have exclusive access to the Cadogan Square gardens and tennis court (by separate arrangement) and the mansion building has a resident caretaker and modern passenger lift.

The Cadogan Square penthouse is for sale for £12,500,000 (share of the freehold).
