The Masked Ball

Located on a quintessential London street, stands this five-storey, Grade II-listed Georgian townhouse. Built in the 1800s and lovingly restored by the hosts in recent years to create a spacious family home, we think this townhouse would be a great option for groups of relatives or friends coming together. Thanks to the several floors and rooms, including three living rooms, the house lends itself perfectly to groups that like a lot of space. But there’s plenty of opportunities to come together too – whether that’s around the marble-topped breakfast bar in the morning or huddled together at the fireplace on chiller evenings. Wherever you choose to settle, you’ll find a home away from home which tells an elegant tale of family life. And let’s talk about the West London location. Perfectly placed equidistant between Chelsea’s Kings Road, the museums and amenities of South Kensington, and the luxury shopping district of Knightsbridge, this is one of London’s finest neighbourhoods. The only dilemma you’ll have is choosing which direction to head first.

Home truths:
* There’s one off street parking space available – a rarity in central London
*There’s a luggage store should you arrive before your specified check-in time
*This home is set over several floors so there are plenty of stairs to climb
*While the home can accommodate up to 12 guests, two of them would be on a sofa bed in the basement level living room – i⁠f you’re looking for a home with ample space, we’d recommend this home for ten guests
* Guests 11 and 12 would be best only as children, as they would be sleeping on trundle beds on the first and top floor
* The homeowner and their family live here the majority of the time, so you will find some personal things about the house – most find this charming
