Property Summary

The former home of Thomas Cubitt, master builder and great-great-great grandfather of the Duchess of Cornwall, Thomas Cubitt was a builder in London during the early 19th century, considered a prolific pioneer who was responsible for developing large areas of Belgravia, Pimlico, Camden Town and Bloomsbury.

This includes many of London's historic streets and squares. He's renowned for building parts of the Grosvenor Estate and royal residences including Buckingham Palace and Osborne House – a full circle moment, considering his descendant would one day walk those halls as a member of the Royal Family.

He began building swish white stuccoed homes characteristic to the area for wealthy Brits after establishing his company, Cubitt & Co, in 1810. But the sprawling Pimlico property was originally built in 1851 by Andrew Cuthell Jr, Thomas's deputy and nephew.

It was one of three family homes in Warwick Square that were owned and used by the Cubitt family, and is renowned to be the best house in Pimlico.

The house has an entrance hall, reception room and Kitchen/breakfast room on the ground floor and opening on to a very large garden which is very unusual for Central London

On the first floor is a very large drawing room with access onto a roof terrace, and an anteroom leading to a balcony.

On the top floor is the principal bedrooms with a bedroom that overlooks the garden and opens onto a balcony, walk-in dressing room and a bathroom with bath and separate shower.

On the lower ground floor there is an abundance of patios with a flood of light coming through all rooms.

The second largest bedroom suite has a sizeable bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, separate dressing room and a bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms and three bathrooms, a fitness suite with gymnasium, steam room, sauna and bathroom, TV/media room to enjoy family time, a utility room and a self-contained studio with its own kitchen perfect for guests, bathroom and separate access which is very useful for staff or family staying.

Warwick Square is a highly sought after private square in the heart of Pimlico.

It is also conveniently located for the exceptional transport links of Victoria and the wide range of shops, bars and restaurants. Belgravia, Knightsbridge, Chelsea and the West End are also within easy reach.
