A six-bedroom townhouse in London’s Hyde Park Estate that once housed the Dominican Republic’s embassy has come to market for £10 million following a full redevelopment into a contemporary family home.
The freehold property on Gloucester Square, one of the estate’s largest private garden squares, offers 4,410 sq ft of living space across five floors and is on the market through Dexters.
It served as the Dominican Republic’s UK embassy between 2016 and 2021, hosting diplomats and visitors including Boris Johnson, then foreign secretary, before being sold for residential use.
Originally built in 1843 and rebuilt in 1938 by architects TP Bennett & Sons, the corner-position house has undergone a complete redesign, with interiors featuring bespoke joinery, parquet floors and high ceilings. The reconfiguration includes a passenger lift, Alexa-controlled smart home system, air conditioning and underfloor heating.
GRAND DESIGNS
The accommodation comprises six bedrooms and five bathrooms, with a self-contained apartment on the lower ground floor suitable for staff or guests. There is also a home gym/media room, utility room and two patios.
