Francis Street, City Of Westminster

This a property that is remarkable on so many levels;
8 Francis Street was constructed in 1894 and operated originally as a sorting office for Royal Mail, before renowned designer Alessandro Crivelli acquired the 120,000 sq ft building and secured planning consent initially for 122 flats, but later settling on a plan for only 9 extraordinary homes.
Flat 7 is a home that is simply flawless in its blend of styles, with influences from the Swiss chalet in the Hitchcock movie 'North by Northwest' to Tyrol and Japan, and even includes a baronial style, oak-panelled library.
The reception space is extends to approximately 42' across a single level, with ceiling heights reaching 5m and feature wall of natural stone sourced from Newfoundland.
The current owner has a significant reputation of design with marble, and this is present throughout the property. The kitchen island, including the sink, is an incredible single piece of elliptical Carrara marble, and it is unlikely anything of this size can be matched or found in any London home.
The principal suite bathroom uses 'Striato Olimpico' marble, seamlessly merging walls floor and ceiling and essentially sculpted as a standalone piece of art.
Francis Street is a surprisingly tranquil location in the heart of historic Westminster, ideally located to enjoy the benefits and lifestyle quality of Central London living. With an eclectic array of restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and galleries, world renowned and iconic landmarks and Royal parks also surround this location and contribute to a thriving and energised enclave of Prime Central London.
Local transport connections are found with underground and mainline services at Victoria Station as well as the underground at St. James Park and Westminster.
