The elegant three-bedroom residence at Six Charles Street in Mayfair occupies the site of renowned English potter Josiah Wedgwood’s former London showroom and pied-à-terre, where he entertained royalty and aristocracy in the 18th century.
Developed by REDD Real Estate behind a magnificent Italianate stucco façade, the penthouse offers 2,027 square feet of living space across the fourth and fifth floors, complemented by a private 246 square foot rooftop garden terrace.
The property features a thoughtful layout with entertaining spaces on the upper floor and bedroom suites below.
A sleek curved staircase connects the two levels, leading to a dual-aspect double reception room that accommodates a living area, dining space for eight, and a cocktail bar.
French doors open onto the spacious garden terrace, while a separate bespoke kitchen with Gaggenau and Miele appliances provides ample space for informal dining.
The lower floor houses three ensuite bedrooms, including a principal suite with a walk-in dressing room and luxurious bathroom featuring a freestanding bathtub and veined marble finishes.
The building’s rich history dates back to 1750, with Wedgwood acquiring it in 1765 to serve as his London showroom, warehouse, and office.
The ground and first floors displayed his pottery collections, while the upper floors functioned as storage space and his personal quarters.
Queen Charlotte, wife of King George III, was a loyal patron who frequently ordered pieces from the Charles Street showroom and allowed Wedgwood to name a pottery line “Queen’s Ware” in her honour.
Other notable visitors included Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire, and Russian Envoy-Ambassador Aleksey Musin-Pushkin, who ordered the Imperial Green Service for Empress Catherine the Great – a 952-piece collection now displayed in the Hermitage Museum.
Following Wedgwood’s death in 1795, the building underwent Victorian remodeling in 1849, gaining its grand Italianate white stucco facade.
It later served as the Mayfair mansion of art critic John Ruskin before being converted into apartments after World War One.
REDD Real Estate has now transformed the building into a collection of luxury apartments with modern amenities, including a passenger lift, concierge service, and state-of-the-art technology.
The penthouse features marble flooring, Havwoods European oak flooring in herringbone design, comfort cooling, and traditional plaster mouldings.
Security is ensured through Crestron lighting systems, video entry, and Banham security systems.
Located just off Berkeley Square and a short walk from Mount Street, the penthouse sits in one of London’s most coveted neighbourhoods, surrounded by Michelin-starred restaurants, designer shops, and cultural attractions.
