Directly adjacent the esteemed Caledonian Club, which counts current and former members such as King Edward III, Prince Philip, Sean Connery and Sir Alex Ferguson, is a grand two-bedroom lateral apartment spanning across two Georgian era townhouses. Once the home of prominent financier Bernard Cornfeld, the home has been completely transformed into a contemporary take on the traditional Parisian pied-a-terre.

On the market for £2.5m, with leading prime estate agents Russell Simpson, 1-2 Halkin Street benefits from two private entrances and access to private communal gardens.

Leo Russell, Director at Russell Simpson, commented: “This stunning lateral apartment on Halkin Street is another brilliant redevelopment project by VOZA, who have transformed a dated flat into a modern, well-configured home. The interiors perfectly fit the character of the area, with a Parisian element to truly bring the city centre lifestyle to the fore.

“Situated in the heart of central London, across from one of the country’s most exclusive private members club, this apartment would make the perfect pied-a-terre or home for young professionals looking for a blend of comfort and luxury.”

The home has undergone an extensive renovation by leading prime development specialists VOZA Developments. The apartment, which is located on a prominent corner of the newly transformed Halkin Street, has been altered internally to provide fantastic lateral living, whist retaining the character and original features of the Georgian building

The layout and interior design of the 1,089 sq. ft. home has been shaped by VOZA’s internal Development and Construction teams to capture the characteristics of a central Parisian style apartment, which delivers a chic ambience, perfect for those looking for a stylish city centre residence.

To capture the chic style, the apartment on Halkin Street has been dressed with bespoke furniture, which has been designed and crafted by the VOZA’s design studio to enhance each space and provide a unique feel to the apartment. Key items include a hand-made timber Console and Dining Table, feature lighting, as well as antique chairs and stools within the bedroom and living spaces.

Alex Pope, Partner at VOZA, said: “Our USP at VOZA is to create wonderful living spaces that each have an individual character whilst retaining their existing architectural charm. With Halkin Street is going through a major transformation, we wanted to elevate the apartment and create a fresh and elegant space that also has a sense of comfort and homeliness in this fantastic city location.”

Upon entering the apartment, the generous entrance hall provides a lovely sense of arrival. A paired back and subtle design palette to this space sets a lovely tone for what is to come.

These Parisian style interiors are a key feature to develop the setting of the large open-plan kitchen/living and dining area with sculptural furniture sitting confidently within the classically proportioned Georgian room. Both bedrooms benefit from large, refurbished sash windows and high ceilings, which invite fantastic natural light into the space. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, which rich marble tiling and Lefroy Brooks sanitaryware.

1-2 Halkin Street is located directly adjacent the brand-new luxury 5-Star hotel, The Peninsula London, which will also include 25 private residences. The hotel will include an exclusive spa, as well as a one-storey shopping arcade, with a total of nine boutique retail outlets.

Across the road is a soon to open private members club, 6 Grosvenor Place, which will contribute to the regeneration of the immediate vicinity, with a collection of boutique shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.

Felix Langlois, Partner at VOZA, added: “Our project at Halkin Street is a major milestone for us. We have been involved in every stage, from sourcing the apartment, acquiring it, and gaining planning consent to overseeing the construction, design and even creation of bespoke furniture.”
