Christian Candy's $200M Mansion

Daily Mail has reported that Christian Candy, half of design team Candy & Candy, has won planning permission to redevelop the buildings at 6-10 Cambridge Terrace and 1-2 Chester Gate which currently houses a row of seven office buildings.

The “mega-mansion”, which will be sold to a single owner, will claim the title of London’s biggest residence after Buckingham Palace – an accolade currently held by Witanhurst House in Highgate. If sold for more than $200 million, the Regent’s Park development would also claim the title of London’s most expensive home.

The plans for the 50,000+ sqft mansion include 10 huge bedroom suites, several vast reception rooms and a basement leisure complex including a cinema, gym and swimming pool.

A 40-ft roof garden, complete with a sliding ceiling and overlooking Regent’s Park, will be built into the eaves, and the development will come with two additional staff houses.
