Lauded as one of the greatest comedians of all time, Peter Sellers split the sides of the great British public on the big and small screen for decades.
Rising to fame in fifties smash hit The Goon Show alongside Spike Milligan and Harry Secombe, he also delighted filmgoers as Inspector Clouseau in the Pink Panther movies and took acclaimed turns under the direction of Stanley Kubrick in Dr Strangelove and Lolita. But Sellers' somewhat salacious off-screen behaviour had a habit of overshadowing his work, and a series of short marriages earned him a reputation as a bit of a playboy. Fitting, then, that he once occupied the penthouse of Glendore House, an extravagant apartment we are currently marketing that offers the ultimate bachelor pad experience. This three bedroomed property is fantastically proportioned to offer a vast reception room or entertaining space for those in the habit of throwing the odd lavish soiree.
The master bedroom features opulent folds of charcoal organza and a panelled leather wall, with an en suite that glistens with white marble and features French doors leading onto the private terrace.
The property also includes a private underground parking space, which was ideal for petrolhead Peter Sellers with his habit of buying fine automobiles. But with a family currently calling this delightful property home, its appeal extends further than the solo gent and, as a result, I don't expect it to stay on the market for long. Foxtons.co.uk/192954 This three bedroomed first floor flat recently received a fantastic offer.
The property, next to the High Street in Marylebone was on the market for 1.795 million. This four bedroomed apartment opposite Hyde Park recently sold for 3.35 million.
The successful offer was received on a Tuesday and contracts were exchanged just one day later an exceptional turnaround.
