A sprawling mansion regarded as one of London's finest homes has been put up for sale for a US$ 82 million - 300 times the average UK selling price.
The eight-bedroom mansion - which features a steam room, gym and palatial swimming pool room - was built in 1896 for the MP Russell Rea, a Victorian shipping magnate from Liverpool. The home, in Hampstead, London, was made using terracotta detailing but has been comprehensively refurbished by craftsmen and fitted with every modern convenience, including a luxurious cinema room, with sofa bed style seating.
The result is an eight-bedroom home with seven bathrooms, a staggering vaulted reception room, four further living rooms and a galleried hallway. The four-storey home, on Lyndhurst Road in Hampstead, London, also has large garden, outdoor swimming pool and separate staff flat.
It has been put on the market with Beauchamp Estates for US$ 82 million - one of the highest asking prices for a home in the UK.
At this price, the owner would have to pay seven per cent in stamp duty - meaning US$ 5.6 million would be going to the exchequer.
Gary Hersham, managing director of Beauchamp Estates, said: 'The house is one of London's finest private homes, offering period features, great entertaining space and a most luxurious indoor pool.'
The home is in the 'super prime' market and is twice the price of the average super prime home sold in the UK this year.
It is 300 times the average UK selling price of US$ 270 thousand and 196 times the average value of a home (US$ 410 thousand) on the British isle.
And the price-tag is only the beginning with running costs on a home like this thought to be around a quarter-of-a-million pounds a year.
On average, homeowners in these sorts of properties pay US$ 3510 on council tax, US$ 33 thousand on utility bills, US$ 82 thousand on security, US$ 33 thousand on cleaning, US$ 49 thousand on a housekeeper, US$ 110 thousand on insurance and US$ 9830 on a gardener.
Currently the most expensive mansion for sale in London is the mansion on Carlton House terrace for US$ 388 million. The second is the mansion of Saudi Prince Abdul Aziz bin Fahd in Kensington for US$ 164 million, and on the third place is the mansion Heath Hall in Hampstead for US$ 106 million.
