- Unique apartment in Whitehall Court boasts spiral staircase and large terrace
A two-bedroom 2,759 sq ft triplex penthouse located in the heart of Westminster, London, has gone on sale for £3,950,000.
The unique flat is located at Whitehall Court, a historic building dating back to the 1880s.
Part of the grade one-listed site was used as the headquarters for MI6 until the end of the First World War.
Over the years, Whitehall Court has been home to the likes of MI6 spymaster Sir Mansfield Cumming, the 1930s Countess of Shrewsbury and, more recently, screenwriter Brian Clemens of The Avengers.
The flat is being sold leasehold with a ‘peppercorn’ ground rent and no service charge, according to Propertalis, the estate agency selling the property.
It has panoramic views of the London skyline and looks out onto the historic House Guards Building and the River Thames.

Edmond Ibrahimi, a director at Propertalis, told This is Money: ‘If the walls of Whitehall Court could talk, they’d weave tales worthy of countless movie scripts.
‘The London skyline stretches before you, offering an intimate connection to the city’s beating heart and all its splendour; it truly feels like it’s in the palm of your hand.
‘Without exaggeration, it’s the kind of home that would make even James Bond and Christian Grey envious.’
He added: ‘This flat is destined for an old-school multi-millionaire—someone who values the unique blend of London’s rich history and unparalleled elegance, nestled in the heart of English heritage and tradition.’
