Occupying pride of place within this iconic and much acclaimed Grade II listed lift serviced building, this stunning ground floor apartment has two incredible private, well designed terraces and secure underground parking for three cars. The building was built between 1921 and 1924 to a design by Sir Edwin Cooper, based on a plan produced by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott in 1915, to provide accommodation and nursing facilities for seriously injured servicemen. It was converted in 2014 into exclusive luxury apartments by the 'high end' developers London Square.

As soon as you enter the apartment there is an immediate sense of elegance and grace, with a most welcoming and impressive entrance. The room proportions throughout are simply exquisite and further emphasised by the incredibly generous ceiling heights. There is an excellent flow of natural light, afforded by both the wonderful floor to ceiling doors that lead onto the terraces from all principal rooms and the open aspects that provide such far reaching views. The layout is ideal for large scale entertaining as well as everyday family life with a separate kitchen/dining room and views over Star and Garter Hill. The current owner has interior designed the exceptional reception room which features wall to ceiling arched windows both opening onto the two terraces.

The private south west facing terraces measures almost 2750 square feet are a real feature of this apartment. Whilst there are also beautifully manicured communal gardens to enjoy there are very few properties within Star and Garter House that have private outside space on this scale, let alone such a beautiful and generous space that commands what are unquestionably amongst the very best views in the country. It is the perfect place for alfresco entertaining, where you can enjoy the sun set and capture all of the afternoon and evening sunshine.

The apartment includes three bedrooms each with ensuite, one of which is the luxurious principal bedroom which features two sets of double doors opening onto the southwestern terrace. Our client has recently installed bespoke wardrobes to all bedrooms and there are stylish wooden floors throughout. Other features of note include comfort cooling, underfloor heating, 7" wall mounted touchscreen panels to control the heating, cooling, lighting, video entrance, surround sound in-ceiling speakers throughout and a secure lock up bicycle facility.

The views over the Petersham meadows and south bend in the River Thames towards the Thames Valley beyond are astonishing and can be enjoyed internally from all principal rooms or externally from your private terraces. These views are deemed to be so important that they are protected by an act of Parliament and are perhaps most famously captured by Turner's watercolours.


The leisure suite, available exclusively to residents, is divided into distinct areas containing the pool and jacuzzi, gym and sun room, with views of the gardens as a glorious backdrop. The 16 x 5 metre pool is fitted with resistance jets, making it suitable for serious swimming, whilst the adjacent Jacuzzi provides the perfect environment for soothing tired muscles. The sun room has heated loungers and the generously sized gym area is equipped with the latest cardio machines. Two private treatment rooms, in a different part of the building, can be booked for visiting beauticians and masseuses.
Another feature for relaxation is the screening room, a luxurious in-house cinema which residents can book to watch their choice of movie or sporting event along with specially-invited friends. The Star and Garter gardens were laid out when the building was opened and are undoubtedly one of its greatest assets. Residents can also take advantage of the town car service and 24 hour concierge.
