The Beecham,
Covent Garden WC2
£8,000,000
This beautifully proportioned penthouse is situated on the upper floors of The Beecham, a sympathetically restored period building overlooking Covent Garden’s iconic Piazza. Apartments of this quality and scale are a rarity in the area and this is without doubt one of Covent Garden's finest homes.
Overview
Developed in collaboration with architects Argent Design and completed in 2014, The Beecham was the final scheme of Capco's ambitious regeneration of landmark buildings surrounding Covent Garden's Piazza, creating luxury apartments that restore the area to its original intended purpose as an area for discerning residents to call home.
Featuring nine carefully considered apartments, the building is highly prized for its architectural heritage, meticulous attention to detail and enviable location.
Entry to the penthouse is via handsome black lacquered double doors opening to a generous reception hall, off which are located a guest cloakroom and concealed utility room. Marble tiled floors laid in an attractive herringbone arrangement lead through to the main living space via glazed lacquered double doors, past the solid oak staircase which leads to the upper floor.
The apartment features a high number of windows creating a light and airy feel, with generous ceiling heights enhancing the sense of volume, harking back to the area's history as a home for the London elite. The main living space and snug offer commanding views across Covent Garden's famed Piazza towards Centre Point and the BT Tower.
High quality bespoke joinery features throughout the apartment, providing useful storage and a considered use of materials & mirrors create a feeling of great space & light. The separate snug is located directly off the main living space, with a wonderful dual aspect and views directly across the Market Building.
The open plan space is thoughtfully arranged into distinct living zones, creating a thoroughly modern environment perfect for contemporary living and entertaining. Accessed via French doors from the lower floor, there is a private terrace to the rear, with a further larger terrace accessed via the principal bedroom suite. The kitchen features cabinetry in a warm wood with a stunning gloss finish, contrasting granite surfaces and high-quality integrated appliances from Miele.
The upper floor is accessed via a handsome oak staircase leading to well-proportioned upper landing and hallway areas, off which can be found the principal bedroom suite, guest suite, third bedroom/study and further guest bathroom.
The principal bedroom suite is finished with high quality materials in calming neutral tones and features a well- appointed separate dressing room and en-suite bath/shower room. There are also French doors opening onto a private roof terrace with further direct views over the Piazza.
The dressing room offers an abundance of bespoke cabinetry with mirrored doors, leading to the en-suite bathroom featuring a mix of well-considered high quality contemporary fixtures & finishes as well as a separate shower.
The guest bedroom is presented in warm calming tones and features bespoke mirror fronted wardrobes, benefitting from its own en-suite shower room. Both guest shower rooms are fitted in a classic contemporary style, with walls & floors finished in beautiful contrasting marble.
The third bedroom is currently arranged as a study, but equally suited to a further double guest room with built-in wardrobes and access to a separate guest shower room.
Covent Garden is globally recognised as London's premier cultural, retail, leisure & entertainment destination. Notable restaurants include Balthazar, The Ivy Market Grill and Sushi Samba, as well as the much-lauded Oystermen, Cora Pearl and Taiwan's legendary Din Tai Fung. The Henrietta Hotel has a fantastic cocktail bar & restaurant, with nearby Floral Court providing a tranquil oasis with al-fresco dining at Petersham Nurseries' La Goccia and The Petersham.
The Royal Opera House dominates the Piazza with world renowned residents the Royal Ballet & Royal Opera, plus many of the world's most popular stage shows can be found at the numerous theatres within a few minutes' walk. Hidden away between Henrietta Street & King Street is the quiet public space of St. Paul's Church gardens, providing the perfect antidote to the hustle & bustle of the Piazza. The open space of Embankment Gardens and the river Thames only a short stroll across the Strand, and the Southbank just a short trip across the river via either Waterloo or Hungerford Bridge.
