The townhouse at 2 Mulberry Square is comprised of 11,494 square feet arranged over six floors with a classical stone staircase and an elevator.
It’s not the most expensive in the development—that title goes to a £60 million townhouse around the corner on Whistler Square—but what it does have is the biggest private wellness space in the posh SW1 postcode, according to property firm Knight Frank. It includes a sauna, steam room, large home gym, two changing rooms and a 11.3 meter-long (37 foot) pool with loungers and olive trees. This makes it bigger than pools at some London hotels; the one at luxury hotel Claridges’s highly-rated spa is eight meters long.
