THE world’s most expensive row of terraced houses has gone on sale for a
collective, wallet-busting price tag of around 400million.

Uber-exclusive Cornwall Terrace in Regent’s Park, London consists of eight
double-fronted mansions each with an asking price of between 29 and
60million.

But despite the sky-high price and having to pay up to 2.5million stamp duty,
Cornwall Terrace is in the City of Westminster where residents pay
the capital’s second lowest council tax bill.

Mansion

Estate agents describe Cornwall Terrace as a ”rare convergence of provenance,
history and grandeur”.

The terrace was designed by royal architect Sir John Nash as part of the
Prince Regent’s later King George IV plans for the
19th-century masterpiece Regent’s Park.

Overlooking the park’s rowing lake, the terrace’s double-fronted mansions
belonged to the British nobility for 150 years before being occupied by
commercial owners.

Developers Oakmayne purchased the block two and a half years ago and employed
a group of renowned interior designers, supervised by English Heritage and
The Crown Estate, to give the properties a tasteful makeover.

Each home took 83,000 man-hours to create with one whole year alone spent
hand-digging two metres beneath the original basement to create two extra
floors.

The first two properties have come onto the market with a price-tag of 29 and
39million respectively.

But the remaining six will be marketed next year, with one unidentified
mansion expected to cost a staggering 60million.

Prospective clients have even enquired about the possibility of purchasing TWO
properties and turning them into a deluxe single 100MILLION dwelling.

Ranging from 8,000 to 14,000sq ft, the Grade 1 listed mansions have between
five and seven bedrooms and combine London’s rich architectural heritage
with state-of-the-art technology.

The main entrance room of each property is described as being of ”embassy
proportions” while each master bedroom is “the size of your average
apartment”.

All properties have oiled and polished hardwood floors and doors, handcrafted
Italian marble floors, period fireplaces, cornices and other decorative
detailing.

They also boast a silent hydraulic elevator and multi-room iPad-controllable
audiovisual and lighting systems.

Each property is offered with an accompanying two-bedroom mews for staff, a
”Bentley-sized garage” and use of a spa and gym.

The largest one to be sold next year also boasts a ballroom and
swimming pool complex.
