Home of the Day – Penthouse at Southbank Place, Braeburn Estates

Returning for the first time since 2019, the New Year’s Eve fireworks display at the London Eye will be extra special this year and the WhatHouse? team has chosen what could be the best spot in the city to see it – the Penthouse at Belvedere Gardens.

Prominently positioned at the forefront of the Southbank Place development and available for £17million, this four-bedroom property has been designed and dressed by the award-winning design studio Goddard Littlefair, and occupies the entire 10th floor, providing 360º views across London. Features include floor-to-ceiling, wide-aspect windows and a large terrace, providing the perfect setting for a spectacular end-of-year party.

The 3,778-sq-ft penthouse comprises two master bedroom suites, two guest bedrooms, two kitchens, an open-plan living/dining area and two guest bathrooms. Benefitting from two separate entrances, accessed via a private corridor, it provides visitors with immediate, show-stopping views as they enter the open-plan living/dining area, where they can soak in the sight of the London skyline.

The living/dining area leads onto the main kitchen, which features integrated Miele appliances, a wine cooler, polished marble worktops and a breakfast bar. Due to its position in the building, it provides a direct view of Big Ben through a full-height glazed sliding door leading onto the sizeable private terrace. Behind the main kitchen is a compact production kitchen, which provides the perfect prep station to set up when entertaining on New Year’s Eve. Two spacious guest bedrooms are located beyond, with a connecting shower room.

Across the entrance hallway are the two master bedroom suites, which both include spacious walk-in dressing areas. The principal double-height master, located at the front of the penthouse, includes access to a private balcony, and features an impressive headboard embroidered with glistening and shimmering metallic threads and glass beads.

The Penthouse at Belvedere Gardens benefits from direct access to a private amenities space located within the building. The facilities, perfect for a post New Year’s party detox, include a dedicated health and fitness facility, with steam and sauna rooms, gymnasium, treatment rooms, wet room and relaxation room.

Residents of this prestige property can also enjoy use of the 17,000-sq-ft health club located in the basement of the wider Southbank Place development. Also designed by Goddard Littlefair, the amenities space includes a 25-metre swimming pool, his-and-hers steam and sauna rooms, expansive gymnasium with specialist workout rooms, relaxation pods, treatment rooms and a hair and beauty studio.

Brian De’ath, managing director of residential sales at Canary Wharf Group, commented: “The views from the penthouse are spectacular on any day of the week, but there is an extra special dimension added when factoring in the New Year’s display. There is no better place to take it all in than from the top floor of Belvedere Gardens and we’re sure this will play a part in the buyer’s decision-making process when considering the exceptional lifestyle on offer here.”

Southbank Place is being developed by Braeburn Estates, a joint venture between Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company and Canary Wharf Group plc. The Penthouse at Belvedere Gardens is on the market for £17million.Find out more at www.southbank-place.com.
