At Elevate PR, there’s one thing we’ve been excited about this lockdown and that’s the latest binge-worthy period drama to grace our screens on Netflix, Bridgerton. To give us our royal fix until the second series, we have selected some of the most impressive regal residences currently on the market with our clients Harrods Estates, Carter Jonas and Royalton Residences, complete with magnificent cut-glass chandeliers, spiral staircases and exquisite architectural style.
Wilton Place, on the market with Harrods Estates
This five-bedroom Georgian townhouse, on Wilton Place in the heart of Belgravia, is anticipated to get pulses racing and fans-a-fluttering due to its Regency charm and period features, such as illustrious chandeliers, sumptuous furnishings, ceiling roses and intricate cornices. The large first-floor drawing room makes for an ideal reception room to receive high-society guests and adjoins a generous study with a charming west-facing terrace. There is superb open-plan kitchen / family room leading to a delightful patio on the lower ground floor, bedecked with a flower-garden mural and outdoor seating to entertain a companion. There is a bedroom on the second, third, fourth and fifth floors which have their own ensuite and built-in wardrobes – the perfect place to store one’s ballgowns and tiaras. Benefiting from 21st century touches, the property also has a newly installed lift – providing access to all principal floors and one of the guest bedrooms – as well as air conditioning throughout. The property is available to let furnished or unfurnished with Harrods Estates for £7,500 per week and £32,500 per calendar month *plus property fees.
Magna Carta Park, a new development by Royalton Group
Magna Carta Park, from residential developer Royalton Residences, epitomises the quintessentially British architectural style for which any period drama is favoured. Set on an exclusive private estate in the heart of Surrey, Magna Carta Park is a collection of 57 beautifully designed homes within 57 acres of ancient woodland and landscaped gardens – close to the site of the eponymous King John treaty. Comprising 23 houses, 10 townhouses and 24 apartments across three mansion blocks, the properties range from one-bedroom apartments to five bedrooms homes. The luxurious development has been achieved via the partnership of celebrated architect Julian Bicknell and Associates and prestigious interior designer, Louise Bradley.
A significant amount of the architectural design embraces the Regency period and would be an ideal abode for a Bridgerton or Featherington. The clean, stuccoed fashion of this era is seen across the development and adds a sense of luxury to the homes. Furthermore, the layouts have been arranged to provide each household with beautiful views over the estate, as well as access to large areas of garden or private terraces that lead onto the expansive English countryside. The Magna Carta Park estate enjoys sweeping views over Windsor, with a picture-frame view of Windsor Castle and the Long Walk from the Great Lawn at the centre of the development. The properties range from one-bedroom apartments of 1141 sq ft to five-bedroom homes of 4495 sq ft. with prices from £1,000,000 to £4,500,000.
Ingmanthorpe Hall, on the market with Carter Jonas
Formerly the ballroom, the West Wing of this magnificent signature Grade II listed mansion house now forms a unique elegant residence of over 3,700 sq ft. Maintaining many of the original period features, this regal home comprises four bedrooms – two with ensuite bathrooms – a grand communal reception hallway, as well as a spacious kitchen / breakfast room. One of the key period features of the property is the magnificent drawing / dining room complete with a marble fireplace, American oak flooring, tall picture windows, in addition to two sets of French doors opening onto the pristine gardens and a wine cellar, perfect for a summer soirée with high-society guests. Leading from the drawing room, a spiral staircase provides access to a spacious mezzanine floor, an ideal space for a 21st century home office. Ingmanthorpe Hall is set in a stunning semi-rural location in North Yorkshire, within one and a half miles of the market town of Wetherby and is on the market with Carter Jonas for £1,000,000.
