‘The magnificent marquee penthouse at Park Modern has one of the largest private terrace in central London which wraps around the entire living space providing breathtaking views over Hyde Park and Kensington Palace,’ says James Van Den Heule, co-founding director of Fenton Whelan.
Taking luxury living to new heights
The new owner will be given the opportunity to work with the team at Fenton Whelan to customise the interiors, which can be configured to comprise up to eight bedroom suites. However, computer-generated images give a suggestion as to the lavishness that one could expect.

Park Modern is part of a wider Bayswater revival that has led to the long-overlooked neighbourhood being touted as one to watch. ‘The north of “the park” is now considered the next core area of London’s finest properties,’ Becky Fatemi, a Spear’s Top Flight property agent at Sotheby’s International Realty recently explained.
Sanjay Sharma, co-founding director of Fenton Whelan, added: ‘With its elevated position high above the tree line, the marquee penthouse at Park Modern is the finest home on Hyde Park. The penthouse offers sunrise to sunset views, including Kensington Palace, Royal Albert Hall, the Shard, and the City of London skylines. Its transformative contemporary design and outstanding specifications offer exceptional, understated luxury.’
