Property description
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a Grade 1 Listed piece of London history. Albany, originally constructed in the 1770s as the London residence for 1st Viscount Melbourne, was converted into 69 bachelor apartments “sets” in 1802 by the architect, Henry Holland. Along with the conversion of the main house, accommodation was built in parallel over the garden in the Regency style, this is accessed via a covered walkaway known as, Ropewalk. Ropewalk runs all the way to the rear of the site and gives access to Burlington Gardens, linking St James’s to Mayfair. The building has been home to many notable residents including, Lord Byron, Aldous Huxley and the British Prime Minister, William Ewart Gladstone.
This set is situated very quietly on the second floor of the west terrace, accessed from Ropewalk; it has ceiling heights in excess of 3.2m throughout that provides light and spacious accommodation. There is the added benefit of a very large (200 Sq Ft) basement storeroom that can be converted to suit your needs.
Albany is entered via a private driveway off Piccadilly, opposite Fortnum & Mason, where a team of uniformed porters are on duty twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
