In the mid-1800s, Elizabeth Standerwick, also known as Baroness von Zandt, enlisted architect William Wilmer Pocock to create a street and a garden square in London‘s Knightsbridge, naming both after her childhood home in Hampshire. Ovington Gardens and Ovington Square are both lined with charming Victorian townhouses—one of which has just hit the market.
The kitchen sports hunter-green cabinetry and herringbone wood floors.

Listed for $9.3 million with Stine Kaus at DDRE Global, the classic terraced home spans just over 3,000 square feet across five levels. Outside, the white-washed stucco facade nods to the elegant interiors found within. Soaring ceilings top off the formal reception rooms, which are surrounded by sash windows. Among these are the fireplace-warmed drawing room on the first floor and the dining room on the upper ground floor, both of which spill open to ample terraces. At the opposite end of the upper ground level sits a hunter-green kitchen with herringbone wood floors.
The primary suite spans the entire second floor, offering a serene bedroom and a bathroom with a double vanity and soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms are found upstairs, with another two located on the lower ground floor. The back room, which could easily double as a media room, opens to a light-filled, southwest-facing rear garden. Surrounded by privacy walls, the open space provides yet another option for enjoying the outdoors. Stairs also connect this area to the terrace just outside the dining room.
