Singlefamily home
In short: Ancaster House at Chesterfield Gardens was designed by J. T. Wimperis in 1876 and, together with No. 8 Chesterfield Gardens, was restored and combined into a single family home, completed in 2019 by Caudwell with MSMR Architects. It's a private house rather than a block of flats, and Fraser Bond isn't marketing it. We do help buyers, sellers and tenants of prime houses and apartments across Mayfair.
