Exquisite four-bedroom penthouse in a Grade II-listed 1920s building

The Gainsborough Londres, Inglaterra SW1P Reino Unido

The Gainsborough is an exquisite four-bedroom penthouse in a Grade II-listed 1920s building set on the banks of the River Thames. Meticulously designed, this exceptional home seamlessly merges the wonderfully preserved original period features with exceptional design and modern amenities.

Unfolding across the sixth and seventh levels of the building, this masterpiece retains its original plasterwork and wooden panelling. The vast living and dining space takes up the majority of the sixth floor; here, expansive windows frame breathtaking Thames views, bathing the space in natural light. The kitchen has high-end Gaggenau appliances and sleek units, which contrast with the original wood panelling; the kitchen also encompasses a large dining space.

The master bedroom has beautiful panelling and intricate cornicing, complemented by a walk-in wardrobe and a large ensuite bathroom finished in marble. Three further vast ensuite bedrooms have been beautifully designed; a second guest bedroom also has a walk-in wardrobe. A utility room completes this floor.

The main reception room is flanked by a long terrace crafted from Portland stone. Punctuated by neoclassical columns, the striking space has uninterrupted views of the river and the Houses of Parliament. At one end, a historic sculpture by Charles Sargeant Jagger, titled ‘Chemistry’ is a beautiful nod to the building’s history.

The building is set around a landscaped courtyard, which is a quiet oasis in the heart of the city. The Millbank development has fantastic amenities, including a pool, spa, fully equipped gym, cinema room, and full concierge service. The apartment is in the heart of Westminster, near London’s most iconic landmarks and a short walk from some of the city’s best restaurants and shopping. It is also close to excellent transport links.
