Summary - 1 PARK PLACE VILLAS LONDON W2 1SP
8 bed 7 bath House
Grand family residence with pool, garden and gated parking near Clifton Road.
Grade II listed villa with strong historical provenance
A rare Grade II listed villa on Park Place Villas, part of John Nash’s Regent’s Canal masterplan, this is a substantial family home with formal reception rooms, an orangery and a large private garden. The house extends across four floors with high ceilings, generous proportions and period detail throughout — ideal for grand entertaining and family living close to Little Venice amenities.
The lower-ground leisure wing contains an indoor swimming pool, sauna, games room and separate staff quarters with its own kitchen and bathroom, offering useful self-contained accommodation or multi-generational flexibility. Outside there is a private driveway for three cars plus a secure double garage and gated entry for greater privacy in this affluent pocket of W2.
Practical considerations are important: the Grade II listing means any alterations will require listed-building consents and can complicate refurbishment. The pool and historic fabric will need ongoing specialist maintenance, and the property sits in an area with higher recorded crime rates — security and insurance costs should be factored in.
Set within walking distance of Clifton Road, independent shops and canal-side restaurants, with Maida Vale, Warwick Avenue and Royal Oak stations under a mile, the location combines quiet Regency character with easy central-London access. The house will suit a large family or buyers seeking a showpiece residence with space for staff and leisure facilities, but it will demand informed stewardship and budget for conservation-grade upkeep.
