A townhouse in the royal district of posh Belgravia, in London

Residing in the posh district of Belgravia, in London, is tantamount to being part of  "High Society". West of Westminster and Buckingham Palace, it is the most upscale area of the British capital, and it welcomes embassies, leading hotels, antique shopes and deluxe boutiques. While the prices of apartments are sky high, those of townhouses do not dissuade buyers.

Period elements, such as ceiling moldings and marble fireplaces, are well preserved. The 4 levels, spanning 360 m² of liveable surface, offer both a view on the street as well as on an inside courtyard.
