Master bedroom
What a master bedroom this is! The sheer size takes your breath away. The decor is pretty impressive too. From the delicate floral painted wall mural to the picturesque parquet flooring – it's a dream. The grandeur of the room's enhanced by ornate Rococo-style gold gilded furniture choices.
It's not quite Fields of Gold, but it's close!
The principal bedroom suite is dressed to perfection with its windows dressed with swags and tails. The floor-to-ceiling windows allow for views onto St James’s Park. A Juliet balcony and two reading nooks add an air of romance to the space.

The beautifully decorative notes of the bedroom continue through into a generous en-suite bathroom.
