Exclusive Inner Sanctum of ‘The Other House’ Opens to the Public as 2,100 Designer Lots—From a 30ft Chandelier to Complete Bedroom Suites—Go Under the Hammer.
One of London’s most exclusive luxury enclaves is to completely clear its decks. Following a landmark portfolio acquisition by integrated hospitality operator AENDRE, Europe’s leading hospitality specialist Pro Auction has been instructed to sell the entire contents of the brand’s multi-award-winning South Kensington flagship property.
In a massive, unreserved three-day public auction, more than 2,100 high-end lots will be sold with no reserve prices. The clearance spans across 11 grand Victorian townhouses on leafy Harrington Gardens, requiring the absolute removal of 230 luxury guest “Club Flats”, the private members’ bars, elite wellness spaces, and commercial kitchens. For the public and international design collectors, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire bespoke, impeccably maintained British craftsmanship at a fraction of its original commissioning cost.
Behind the Facade of an Exclusive South Kensington Retreat – Opened in July 2022 to critical acclaim, The Other House operated under a strict, hyper-exclusive “Residents’ Club” model. Conceptualised by property doyenne Naomi Heaton and masterfully designed by the award-winning Bergman Design House, the interiors were hidden away from the general public, accessible only to members and overnight residents.
The design narrative—inspired by the art, tradition, and English eccentricity of South Kensington—features a vibrant, maximalist voyage of deep regency hues, rich velvets, and bespoke brass details. Because the property has only been operational for less than four years, every item has been maintained to pristine luxury standards, offering an unprecedented treasure trove of practically new designer assets.
Simon Rose, Director at Pro Auction, commented: “This is a clearance on an unprecedented scale for South Kensington. Because the auction is entirely unreserved, items that cost thousands of pounds to custom-commission will start at a fraction of their value. We are opening the doors to a private world, allowing hoteliers, interior designers, and private buyers to walk in and take home bespoke British craftsmanship with zero lead time.”
The unreserved inventory includes thousands of premium items, highlighted by several custom showpieces:
- The Lobby Masterpieces: The auction’s crown jewel is a jaw-dropping, 30ft bespoke botanical chandelier designed and handcrafted by Cox London, alongside a striking gold hand-painted reception screen by Edinburgh artist Hedi Munro.
- 230 Complete Luxury Bedroom Suites (“Club Flats”): Saturated in rich teal blues, perylene greens, and oxblood reds. Lots include bespoke drapery, premium loose rugs, plush velvet sofas, custom leather headboards, elegant cabinet units manufactured by Curtis Furniture, and signature laser-cut Art-Deco metal dividing screens.
- The Destination Bars & Restaurants: Custom furniture from the exclusive Owl & Monkey cocktail lounge and The Other Kitchen café, featuring green marble accent pieces, custom-made velvet bar stools, ornate designer lighting by Chelsom, a sumptuous red leather bar setup, and solid wood dining tables from the private Francis Bacon and Mervyn Peake dining suites.
- The Private Members’ Club: Low-level lounge seating, rich upholstered velvet armchairs, suspended decorative brass birds, and an exclusive, bespoke timber whiskey locker from the atmospheric Keeping Room and Hogsmire lounges.
Due to the exceptional quality of the assets, a 4 day public viewing window will be held on-site, allowing prospective buyers to inspect the lots first hand.
