Wealthy Lononders have a rare opportunity to make a patch of prime real estate their own after a mansion in one of the capital's most exclusive streets went on the market.
The luxuriant four-bedroom home in Kensington's Victoria Road is up for grabs - but only to house-hunters with £8million to spare.
The street, a short walk from Hyde Park and close to the shops of Kensington High Street, is valued as one of the most expensive in the UK.
Its luxury houses attract an average asking price of £8m, and the last home to be sold there went for an eye-watering £13m.
But this is the first property to be put on the market since 2013, raising the prospect of a major bidding war.
Potential buyers will be welcomed into the mansion's grand entrance hall measuring more than 3,000sqft in size, before being shown around the home's four floors.
The property is now being marketed by specialist luxury agents Black Sea Estates.
Richard Chiti, from the company, told the Daily Mail:“Houses don’t come up for sale that often. In fact, they are few and far between. So when they do come up for sale we have huge interest.
“We have a number of applicants who register with us who only want that patch.”
On the upper two floors are the four bedrooms and four bathrooms, with an additional terrace off the master suite.
The house for sale is based on the "better" side of the street at the more desirable, quieter end, its sellers added.
