Fine tuning

Listen, Ebury Street is a home with the grandeur of Bach, the wit of Vivaldi, the romance of Rachmaninoff and the heart-tugging beauty of Elgar. Spread across five floors, antique furniture blends with the modern in breathtaking harmony. Mozart once lived on this road, and small wonder - you’re midway between Buckingham Palace and Sloane Square. The shopping in this part of town is little less than sublime, and while you may be central, the verdant triumvirate of Green Park, Hyde Park and St James’s are all within a very short walk. This is a home that’ll send your soul soaring – play on!

Viaggio

When your host is not travelling the world she divides her time between Ebury Street and her country retreat in Oxfordshire. She’s friendly, creative and charming – one in a million – just like her home.

Con amore

The detailing of this home is so rich, and its ambition so expansive that any description can be but a glancing overview… Ebury Street’s sitting room is a veritable medley of styles, with an original fireplace, modern art, brooding oil paintings, and of course, a piano. There’s a decadence to the polished woods and sumptuous textiles, and, amidst all the tradition, a welcome note of eccentricity. The kitchen is country and quaint, and you can dine either in the dainty breakfast room, or the formal dining room between panelled walls and more of those exquisite antiques. The bedrooms boast furnishings that wouldn’t look out of place in a five star hotel. There’s a basement triple, opulent in its hand-blocked wallpaper and matching curtains, and a twin in deepest honey. All three bedrooms have their own bathroom, but special mention must be given to the master ensuite, with its fanciful walls, fireplace and even a library ladder.

Coda

Sloane Square will be your first port of call, with its shops, cafes and restaurants, and, by night, the Royal Court Theatre. Then, wend your way down the King’s Road, perhaps, or, over towards Knightsbridge and Harrods. Kensington and the museums are but a short cab ride away, and if you want to get into the West End, the tube from Victoria to Oxford Circus takes a miniscule four minutes.
