CENTURION IN FOCUS also CENTURION IN FOCUS also just been announced. “Having Six Senses facilities and all their management know-how on tap, plus the regeneration of the whole Queensway area – both are huge pluses for our buyers,” says Leigh. Building work is scheduled to finish in 2024 with some new owners already moving in. In the heart of the metropolis, close to Buckingham Palace, the Houses of Parliament and St James’s Park, the former New Scotland Yard on Victoria has been transformed by Northacre into The Broadway (orchardplace.london), a collection of six towers around a central boulevard, Orchard Place. A range of 258 luxury one- to five-bedroom apartments, including a number of penthouses, sit above offices, shops and restaurants. With signature interior design by Minotti, one 434sq m penthouse recently launched has four ensuite bedrooms, including a self-contained one-bedroom apartment. It features underfloor heating, comfort cooling, Calacatta marble with Gaggenau and Miele appliances in the kitchen plus the use of residents’ facilities that include a 25m heated indoor pool, steam room and vitality pool, gym, screening and games rooms as well as 24-hour concierge. The same Northacre team are involved in No. 1 Palace Street, The St Regis Residences (numberonepalacestreet. com), a collection of 72 one- to five-bedroom apartments close to Buckingham Palace. The original stuccofronted seven-storey building was created in the 19th century and listed as architecturally significant in 1970. Again, the standard of restoration and interior design is exquisite, with Bentley, Maddox Gallery, Oliver Burns and Helen Amy Murray all contributing under the umbrella House of Walpole imprimatur. Speaking of which, for anyone hankering after a riparian lifestyle, the original Walpole House (savills. com) is a one-off country residence currently for sale on Chiswick Mall, a mere 10 kilometres from Mayfair. This is an exquisite Grade I-listed mansion of Tudor origin right on the north bank of the Thames, standing in 0.25ha of historic walled gardens – rus in urbe personified. The seven bedrooms and five reception rooms, spread across a light-filled 814 square metres, were once home to Barbara Villiers, one of Charles II’s mistresses, and served as a school when attended by Thackeray, on which he based Miss Pinkerton’s Academy in Vanity Fair. From the gracious dual-aspect first-floor drawing room, the Varsity boat race can be viewed every spring, while gourmets will appreciate the River Café and Sam’s Riverside a short stroll downstream. The enduring appeal to Londoners of parks and gardens is underlined by the recent announcement that Chelsea Barracks (chelseabarracks.com) is dedicating 2 of its 52ha development to landscaped gardens. “The addition of these green spaces adds immense value to both residents and the local community in this newly revitalised part of Belgravia,” avers Tariq Al Abdulla, chief development officer. This enlightened view of urban design together with the regeneration of many of its classic buildings helps explain why a home in central London continues to be a prize asset in any global property portfolio.
