Property Prices in Marylebone
Expect property for sale in Marylebone to hover around the 1
million mark, with the overall average price paid for a property in
the area standing at 1,376,977, according to property portal
Rightmove. However, this price shouldn't lull anyone into a false
sense of security as one-off homes of magnificent proportions
and character are regularly sold for in excess of 20 million.
Overall sold prices in Marylebone were up 11% on the previous
year, and up a massive 41% on 2011, also according to Rightmove.
Who's buying in Marylebone?
Reputed for its village atmosphere, Marylebone is an oasis of
calm - hard to believe given its location off of Oxford Street and
Regent's Park. The chic ambience attracts home-grown and
mainly European movers who are looking to put down roots in
the city. Marylebone's close proximity to Harley Street means the
medical fraternity are happy at home in W1, as are young
professionals drawn by the excellent tube service from Baker
Street and walking distance to the West End.

Property types in Marylebone
The Portman Estate encompasses 110 acres of Marylebone and over
500 properties. Another 92 acres of Marylebone come under the
Howard de Walden estate. Both estates feature swathes of Georgian
properties (many of which are listed), one-off dwellings and stylish
mansion blocks. Many of the properties are set around communal
garden squares, which give Marylebone its characteristic charm. W1
is no stranger to new homes, however, with a collection of 44 luxury
apartments called The Chilterns recently launched on Chiltern Road.
Most coveted Marylebone roads
Properties for sale in Portman Square - historically home to peers,
earls, baronets and dukes - always have a waiting list of buyers.
Orchard Court is one of the most lavish mansions blocks on Portman
Square, yielding vast apartments than can benefit from as many as
five or six bedrooms. The Regent on Hallam Street is another
coveted address, with apartments in this Grade II listed building
benefitting from vaulted ceilings and private terraces. Properties for
sale in Marylebone close to the High Street, and in Bryanston Square
and Montagu Square, also generate lots of interest.

Marylebone area highlights
While Marylebone residents can walk to the West End in a matter of minutes, they often choose the
neighbourhood as a base as it offers all the retail and dining facilities a discerning urbanite would ever
need. The restaurant de jour - Chiltern Firehouse - is set on Chiltern Street in Marylebone, and is attracting
a cult following. Marylebone High Street is the centre of the community with restaurants, boutiques and
one-off stores selling everything from Scandinavian furniture to cheese at La Fromagerie, although the
weekly farmers' market that takes place every Sunday on Cramer Street draws in the crowds. Away from
the main thoroughfare, New Quebec Street and Seymour Place are worth a look for interesting
independent retailers. Community is king in the neighbourhood and the Marylebone Summer Fayre is an
annual highlight. Other attractions in the area include Wigmore Hall in Wigmore Street, exhibitions at the
Wallace Collection in Manchester Square and the Everyman Cinema in Baker Street.
