The house was built in 1932 on land formerly owned by Buckingham Palace. Most of the original features from that time remain, including the parquet floors, the fireplaces, the bathrooms, the original larder, and the dumbwaiter.

The current owner bought the house in 1978 and is only the second owner. The original owners had relations in France and imported some of the glorious pine panelling throughout the house from a French château, some of which is 300 years old. This makes for an exquisite atmosphere and gives the feel of a country house in London.

Of special note, the handsome stone portico entrance with rising steps, the important interior central staircase and the large landings around which the house is designed, the elegant drawing room and library with original parquet flooring and a large French door opening out onto the west-facing terrace, as well as the principal bedroom, dressing room, and bathroom occupying the whole of the first floor.
