7, 7 Warwick Avenue, London, W9 2PS

Description Standing behind a private gated front on one of Little Venice’s most coveted avenues, this exceptional Grade II listed villa has been entirely re-engineered for modern family life.

The house unfolds across more than 7,700 sq ft, its classical proportions preserved while every layer beneath has been rebuilt to create a home of rare capability.

High ceilings, deep sash windows and finely restored joinery speak to the building’s heritage, while a newly excavated leisure level introduces a discreetly luxurious counterpoint.

The ground floor is arranged around a central staircase, a natural axis between two grand reception rooms.

To one side, a double formal drawing room occupies the curved bay, its tall windows overlooking the front courtyard and gardens beyond.

The second reception room provides a more relaxed setting facing the Regent’s Canal.

The lower ground floor unfolds from here, flowing towards a family television area and onward to the dining space and conservatory.

The conservatory enjoys direct access to the terrace and views across the rear garden, creating a natural connection between inside and out.

Set discreetly to the side, the substantial kitchen has been designed for everyday life as much as entertaining, with generous proportions and a practical layout that supports the rhythm of family living.

Below, the newly created basement is a private wellness suite more often found in a members’ club than a London home.

A 15-metre swimming pool runs the length of the space, accompanied by a steam room, Jacuzzi and fully equipped gym.

The scale is generous, the finishes calm and architectural, and the result is a floor that feels integral rather than ancillary.

The principal bedroom occupies the first floor, complete with a large dressing room and an expansive ensuite bathroom finished in natural stone.

A second bedroom suite sits alongside, equally well proportioned.

The upper floors provide two further bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, while one provides a versatile multi-purpose room opening onto a broad roof terrace with views across the treetops of Maida Vale.

Outside, the house is unusually well served. Two side gardens, a front courtyard and a kitchen terrace create a sequence of outdoor rooms, while secure gated parking provides space for two cars.

A separate studio at the end of the garden offers further flexibility for staff, guests or a private workspace.

This stretch of Warwick Avenue has long drawn writers, artists and families who value its quiet, almost waterside atmosphere.

Directly opposite the Regent’s Canal, with morning coffee at Clifton Nurseries and walks along the towpath towards Regent’s Park, the setting feels gently removed from the city’s pace.

The neighbourhood has the ease of a village, with Clifton Road and Formosa Street only moments away, yet Paddington and Marylebone are close enough to keep central London within easy reach.
