This stucco and brick terraced house in Belgravia has kept its early Victorian style alive with ornate furniture and charming era-appropriate artwork that gives a glimpse into historic London. You’ll relax by the original fireplace in the bright living room and head through to the adjoining study area to get a little work done at the antique desk.
