An historic, freehold mansion situated on the sought after north side of this world renowned address. This fabulous three window wide Belgravia home enjoys an enviable mid terrace position and benefits from south facing views over the gardens of Eaton Square.

An impressive Grade ll* listed house which dates back to 1825 and is set within a grand terrace of early 19th century town houses. The refined but confident classical detailing, including giant Corinthian pilasters to the exterior and a grand entrance portico supported by Doric pillars, has remained in style for almost 200 years. The house still maintains the layout similar to the original built by Thomas Cubitt, the leading master builder of 19th century . Indeed, of all the buildings in Eaton Square, only a handful now remain as individual houses and even less are freehold.

The house has attracted a number of very distinguished owners throughout its history, having been frequently mentioned in society publications, magazines and historical London newspapers. Of considerable special historic value, in 1939 the house was residence to Lt Col Rt Hon Leopold Charles Maurice Stennett Amery, Member of Parliament and special advisor to Sir Winston Churchill during World War ll. An influential Conservative Party politician, Mr Amery played an important role in Sir Winston Churchill becoming Prime Minister and it is believed that the fate of , Churchill’s predecessor, was sealed during a meeting at the house. Sir Winston Churchill is likely to have visited the house on a number of occasions, with the property popularly thought of as one of his ‘secret’, informal war time headquarters.

Other notable owners of the house include; Sir Duncan MacDougall (1787-1862). Sir Duncan was a colonel in the Cameron Highlanders and played an important role in the capture of Washington during the American Civil War.

Admiral of the Fleet Sir Henry John Codrington (1808- 1877). A Royal Naval officer of some repute, known for the lavish balls and parties held at the house.

Today the house, never having been converted or divined into , retains its configuration as a single house and now provides a unique opportunity for the new owner to undertake a comprehensive refurbishment programme to suit their own requirements and those of modern living.

Eaton Square is found at the heart of the internationally renowned area of Belgravia, with all the many amenities of Knightsbridge, Sloane Street and Chelsea being close to hand. There are good transport links with fast access to Gatwick from Victoria Station (approximately 0.4 miles away), is approximately 0.4 miles away and Hyde Park is approximately 0.8 miles away which offers walks and other outside recreational activities (all distances and times are approximate).
