Properties for sale in Regent's Park - Spoilt for choice

Deciding to purchase a property for sale in Regent's Park is one of the most exciting home ownership journeys anyone can ever take. Located at the heart of the world's most exciting capital city, Regent's Park is one of the most sought after global addresses, with 166 acres of parkland on the doorstep yet set in the middle of a bustling city.

The park's place in London history was cemented in the 17th century, when it was used as hunting ground by King Henry VIII. Hunting stopped in 1649 but rural ways continued on the land until 1811, when the Prince Regent commissioned architect John Nash to create a master plan for the neighbourhood, making the area a popular place for gentry to settle. The wonderful work of architects John Nash, Decimus Burton and their colleagues set the tone for Regent's Park, with the high standard of design and refurbishment being upheld today.

The Nash effect

Many of the properties for sale in Regent's Park that were designed by architect John Nash and his peer Decimus Burton command some of the biggest sale prices in the world. The white stucco-fronted houses are the area's hallmark, with a number of 'great terraces' attracting frenzied bidding when they come onto the market. Regent's Park estate agents can't get enough of houses for sale in Gloucester Gate, Cumberland Terrace, Chester Terrace, Cambridge Terrace, York Terrace, Cornwall Terrace, Clarence Terrace, Sussex Place, Hanover Terrace and Kent Terrace. To the south of the park are Park Square and Park Crescent - also fine examples of John Nash's design. Behind these dazzling faades often lie individually-designed interiors - many of which have been designed by architects and hand-built by master craftsmen. Expect wine cellars, staff quarters, Jacuzzi topped roof terraces and even subterranean swimming pools.

Expect to find penthouses, lateral apartments and mini mansions behind the imposing faa
