2 rooms apartment of 186m² in Fareham

Just moments from Hyde Park and Notting Hill, this reimagined architectural landmark makes an immediate impression. There’s a certain thrill to stepping inside: the grand arches of its original façade hint at the building’s storied past, but cross the threshold and you’re in an entirely new chapter – one that pairs an exceptional heritage setting with state-of-the-art amenities. Originally designed in the early 20th century, The Whiteley has been meticulously reimagined by Foster + Partners, whose award-winning architecture spans the globe, alongside renowned developer and interior design studio Finchatton. Their pioneering transformation honours the building’s Grade II-listed façade while introducing a new retail arcade to invigorate Queensway, a Six Senses wellness destination and 139 residences designed for contemporary city living. This two-bedroom apartment sits on the first floor – a vantage point from which Bayswater’s revival unfolds. Step through the front door and you’re greeted by a calm, inviting entranceway. Through a set of Crittall glass doors, the heart of the home reveals itself: spacious proportions, soft light diffused through vast panes of glazing and pale herringbone flooring underneath. Design here is deliberate – minimalist yet maintaining warmth, while a palette of pale woods and neutral tones speak to both restraint and refinement. Carefully curated furnishings complete the considered aesthetic. The open-plan living area is anchored by the kitchen: a curated composition of clean-lined cabinetry and marble, with stone flowing seamlessly across the worktops and splashback. A breakfast bar provides the perfect perch for morning coffee, while beyond, floor-to-ceiling glazing opens onto a balcony overlooking Queensway. The principal bedroom suite continues the home’s serene palette, with lofty white walls, light timber flooring and glazed doors opening onto the balcony to invite in fresh air and natural light. In the en suite, marble envelops every surface, from the rainfall shower and freestanding bathtub to the floating double vanity. A dedicated walk-in wardrobe offers generous storage behind clean-lined cabinetry. The second bedroom suite echoes the same restrained elegance and offers flexibility as a guest bedroom, home office or creative studio. As a resident of The Whiteley, life extends well beyond the apartment. A 24-hour concierge, residents’ library and music room sit alongside the exceptional amenities of Six Senses Place, where a private members’ club offers wellness facilities, a swimming pool, restaurant and thoughtfully designed communal spaces. Housekeeping, childcare, pet care, grocery stocking and a range of additional lifestyle services are also available.
