Britain’s Most Expensive Home For Sale

Heath Hall mansion in Bishops Avenue, London, is up for grabs for a staggering $158 million. And news doing the rounds report that even the brochure costs $3,000.

Located in Bishops Avenue, also known as Billionaires' Row, the architecture style of Heath Hall displays the affluent taste of its owners.

East Weald, as the house was previously known, was built in 1910 as the London residence for William Park Lyle of the Tate & Lyle family. But the mansion did not remain in the Tate & Lyle family for long. It was later used as a home for the blind and then in the 1950s it was purchased by the Bank of China to house employees working in England.

However, after a couple of decades, it fell into disrepair before being bought by Andreas Panayiotou, Chairman and CEO of the Ability Group, in 2006. He bought the house and restored it to its former glory.

“The restoration of this beautiful Grade II listed property has been a labor of love. My vision was to restore it to its former glory; remain faithful to its classical, arts and crafts and Scottish Baronial architecture and retain the ornate, period details that make the property so unique; but at the same time create a home that offers the ultimate in luxury living,” said Panayiotou, in the brochure.

There are six main living areas within Heath Hall, all offering exceptional space, high ceilings and lots of natural light. It also has 14 bedrooms, all with either an en suite bathroom or adjoining bathroom. The rear of the property has been extended to create an impressive 27,000 sq ft of living space.

 The mansion also has a secure room with its own control panel and telephone line with wires that can’t be cut. The wine cellar has the capacity to hold 647 standard size wine bottles in a temperature controlled environment.

There is also a luxury complex on the ground floor, which boosts a gym, sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi and an impressive white stone swimming pool. There is also a swimming pool in the gardens done in black mosaic.
