The large wine cellar occupies space in the new basement and is large enough to accommodate hundreds of bottles of wine and champagne
As well as the wine cellar and gym, the new basement also houses a sauna with dark marble flooring and luxury fittings
Of course, no luxury townhouse is complete without a separate staff kitchen, where all the cooking can be carried out behind the scenes.
There is also a staff bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on the same level – lower ground – of the property, which is directly above the two new basements.
The luxury home has a further five bedrooms – although one is currently being used as a cinema room – and is being sold by Jonathan Arron Residential estate agents.
The basement also includes a new gym that is currently fully kitted out with a wood flooring and plenty of fitness equipment

The property is on Herbert Crescent, in London’s affluent Knightsbridge – and behind the world famous department store Harrods.
Hyde Park is also within a short walk of the property, and the current owners have access to two local garden squares.
The average price of a sold property in Knightsbridge during the past year is £3,096,218, according to Zoopla.
It is almost 10 times the £329,407 average sold price of a property in Britain during the same period.
Daniel Copley, of Zoopla, said: ‘This spectacular Victorian townhouse represents the epitome of London luxury living with its sauna, gym, wine cellar and custom made kitchen.
‘The pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the bespoke Art Deco style lift, which gives access to each floor of the property and leads to the spacious roof garden terrace.’
