A two-bedroom triplex penthouse in Westminster, London, has been listed for sale at £3,950,000. The 2,759 sq ft property is located in Whitehall Court, a Grade I-listed building dating back to the 1880s that once served as MI6 headquarters until the end of the First World War.
The penthouse boasts panoramic views of the London skyline, including the House Guards Building and the River Thames. It features three reception rooms, three bathrooms, an office, a wine cellar, and a large outdoor terrace. A specially-designed spiral staircase runs through the home, blending period features with modern design.
Whitehall Court has housed notable figures such as MI6 spymaster Sir Mansfield Cumming, the 1930s Countess of Shrewsbury, and screenwriter Brian Clemens. The property is being sold leasehold with a 'peppercorn' ground rent and no service charge, according to estate agency Propertalis.
Edmond Ibrahimi, a director at Propertalis, described the flat as 'the kind of home that would make even James Bond and Christian Grey envious,' adding that it is 'destined for an old-school multi-millionaire who values London's rich history and unparalleled elegance.' The penthouse is close to Downing Street, the Cenotaph, Embankment and Westminster tube stations, St James's Park, and Buckingham Palace.
