With its hefty £27million price tag and completely rebuilt interior, is this the best designed townhouse in central London?
The property has retained its original decorative façade, but saw the interior totally rebuilt with no expense spared.
The redesign includes two new sub-basements that culminates in eight floors, and a roof terrace accessed via a retractable glass spiral roof that opens at the touch of a button.
Following its remodeling, is this six-bedroom property for sale for £27m the best designed townhouse in London?

There is also a wine cellar, gym and sauna, and an Art Deco circular glass internal lift running through the central core of the curved stone staircase.
Other luxury touches in the property include full digital home automation, Lutron lighting, fitted air conditioning and underfloor heating systems.
The custom-made kitchen has also been given plenty of attention, with it boasting not only two Wolf ovens and two fridge freezers, but two six-minute dishwashers.

Of course, no luxury townhouse is complete without a separate staff kitchen, where all the cooking can be carried out behind the scenes.
There is also a staff bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on the same level – lower ground – of the property, which is directly above the two new basements.
The luxury home has a further five bedrooms – although one is currently being used as a cinema room – and is being sold by Jonathan Arron Residential estate agents.

The property is on Herbert Crescent, in London’s affluent Knightsbridge – and behind the world famous department store Harrods.
Hyde Park is also within a short walk of the property, and the current owners have access to two local garden squares.
The average price of a sold property in Knightsbridge during the past year is £3,096,218, according to Zoopla.
It is almost 10 times the £329,407 average sold price of a property in Britain during the same period.
Daniel Copley, of Zoopla, said: ‘This spectacular Victorian townhouse represents the epitome of London luxury living with its sauna, gym, wine cellar and custom made kitchen.
‘The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the bespoke Art Deco style lift, which gives access to each floor of the property and leads to the spacious roof garden terrace.’
