4 bedroom terraced house for sale

A rarely offered Grade II-listed, double-fronted house, that stands out for its architecture and the possibility to reconfigure, the original project was overseen by award-winning architects Child Graddon Lewis of Clerkenwell. During the late 1990s, showcasing Starr Street is one such address. Rarely offered to the market, this Grade II-listed, double-fronted freehold is arranged over four expansive floors, with 4,350 sq. ft. of internal space, a dramatic 28ft atrium featuring a London stock brick and glazed façade, making it a versatile and compelling offering that is mirrored on the exterior.

The front façade, with its classical rhythm, commercial aspect, and tall sash windows, marks it immediately as one of the more distinguished houses in W2, with its scale and heritage balanced by its symmetry. Inside, the arrangement is both practical and inspiring: the lower ground and ground floors are currently configured as commercial spaces with a kitchen and cloakrooms, while the upper maisonette spans the first and second floors, offering four bedrooms and domestic accommodation of rare generosity.

Exceptional planning was obtained for lifting the pavement on the ground floor behind the spearhead iron railings. Installed with a glass skylight, giving wonderful light to the lower ground floor. Floor space 992 sq ft. currently used as an office. At the ground floor level, two French doors are set at the rear, leading to a glass balcony onto a glass and concrete staircase. A glass staircase from the ground to the lower ground at one end, as well as a wooden staircase at the other end

The property offers domestic and commercial entrances, with the maisonette centres around a 25ft double reception room, dual aspect, with fireplaces at either end, with original fireplaces, a space that speaks as much to convivial entertaining as to quieter, everyday living. Bedrooms are substantial, adaptable to family, guests, or work. And at the heart of the building lies the atrium: an extraordinary 28ft-high courtyard, rising a full 8.5 metres from the lower ground floor, capped by a glazed canopy. This is the home’s theatre, where light pours in through the commercial frontage and light wells for the lower ground floor, height becomes drama, and possibilities unfold.

Many Georgian features are preserved throughout, including windows and wooden shutters, with tanked vaults on the lower ground floor. Vaulted ceilings on the second floor add to the residential space, giving an impression of volume and flexibility.

This is not a conventional home; it is a building with layers. Suitable for entrepreneurs, creatives, and design-led thinkers, it offers the rare chance to merge work, life, and expression under one roof. Together, these qualities offer both permanence and freedom: a canvas upon which a future owner can either inhabit the current arrangement or pursue re-modelling and re-development, subject to consents.

A neighbourhood of connection and character:
Starr Street’s setting is integral to its appeal and forms part of the Bayswater Conservation Area. Paddington Station lies moments away, making Heathrow accessible in under 20 minutes via the Elizabeth Line and connecting swiftly to the West Country and beyond. For international buyers, this ease of movement is invaluable. Yet the area is not simply about transit — Paddington has, in recent years, evolved into a destination in its own right. The redeveloped Merchant Square and Paddington Basin bring striking modern architecture, canalside walks, and a cluster of restaurants and cafés where glass towers meet water. On a summer’s evening, dining at the water’s edge feels a world away from the bustle of the station nearby.

To the south, Edgware Road adds its own layer of vibrancy. Known for its Middle Eastern cafés, late-night restaurants, and cultural energy, it provides a flavour of cosmopolitan London that contrasts with the quiet elegance of nearby squares and terraces. For those who thrive on variety, this juxtaposition, calm residential streets running parallel to lively high streets, is part of the area’s richness.

Within a short walk lies Marylebone Village, a neighbourhood that feels like a self-contained world. Here, Georgian terraces line the streets, independent boutiques sit alongside celebrated restaurants, and Marylebone High Street retains the charm of a true London village. Daunt Books, with its oak galleries and skylit interior, anchors the cultural life of the street, while Chiltern Firehouse and Fischer’s add culinary flair. To live at Starr Street is to have Marylebone’s intimacy within easy reach, a counterpoint to the scale and pace of Paddington.
Mayfair, too, is close, a neighbourhood synonymous with elegance, heritage, and prestige. From the galleries of Cork Street to the private members’ clubs of Berkeley Square and the haute cuisine of Mount Street, Mayfair offers a level of refinement that few global cities can rival. For owners of Starr Street, Mayfair lies within walking distance, yet remains distinct enough to be a place of occasional indulgence rather than daily routine.

Equally close is Connaught Village, one of London’s most quietly desirable pockets. Its charm lies in its scale: boutique shops, independent cafés, and a sense of neighbourhood intimacy that feels far removed from the main thoroughfares. It is the kind of place where you know your barista, where fashion designers operate from discreet studios, and where evenings are spent in small restaurants known more to locals than to guidebooks.
