A posh London townhouse with a prominent pedigree has come onto the market seeking £23.5 million GBP—which converts to approximately $29,408,489 USD. The residence is in the city’s well-to-do Belgravia neighborhood and was once home to the late John Aspinall, a controversial casino-owner who bought the home in the ’60s and often hosted high-society guests. After Aspinall passed away in 2000, Charles and Pandora Delevingne—the parents of model/actress Cara Delevingne and her older sisters Chloe and Poppy—bought the property next.
According to Robb Report, the couple raised their children here. They owned it into Cara’s early 20s, until they decided to downsize in 2014, per the listing brokerage. The current sellers purchased it from the Delevingnes and just listed the home for the first time in 10 years.
A formal foyer greets visitors upon entry into the 5,456 square-foot home, ideal for entertaining. It’s said that Aspinall often hosted parties and card games in the first floor’s reception rooms. Looking to host memorable summertime soirees? The rooftop garden has its own cocktail bar, which can be easily accessed by elevator. Back inside, the five bedrooms include four bedroom suites—three of which have walk-in dressing rooms (after all, models and socialites need plenty of glam space). A screening room, a gym, and a steam room are additional luxuries.
The Lyall Street address dates back to 1838, but the sellers extensively renovated it, paying homage to its glitzy past owner, John Aspinall. Marble and murals are accompanied by chic finishes that only add to the glamour. Beauchamp Estates holds the pricey listing.
