This freehold property comprises 8,820 sq ft (815.82 sq m). The two mews houses comprise 3,081 sq ft (286.26 sq m). It is situated in a very quiet one way street close to Chelsea and Knightsbridge. It is a four storey house with a large basement and extensive vaults. It has a central projecting entrance with coupled Doric columns and a balustraded balcony over. The windows are square-headed sashes with glazing bars. The spearhead railings are of cast iron. The house benefits from a spectacular classical interior design decorated by Stefan Boudin, the famous Parisian interior designer, for The Hon Lady Baillie.

Previous Occupants and Owners The house was the home of His Excellency Rene Massigli [1888-1988], French Ambassador to the Court of St. James s. General Charles de Gaulle used Lowndes House as his London residence between 1943 and 1945. In the late 1950s Lowndes House became the London townhouse of the Hon. Olive, Lady Baillie [1899-1975] an Anglo-American heiress, society hostess, and the last private owner of the iconic Leeds Castle. Lady Baillie s guest at Lowndes House included the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Simpson, Queen Maria of Romania, Alfonso XIII of Spain and Anthony Eden. She was a lover of the cinema and her guest list during the 1930s included Douglas Fairbanks [senior and junior], Charlie Chaplin and Errol Flynn. Post war she was on intimate terms with Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother and with Princess Marina of Kent, both of whom have visited Lowndes House. Curiously, she was very shy and particularly disliked any personal publicity. It is thought that Lady Baillie continued as the owner of Lowndes House to her death in 1975. The house was acquired by Lord & Lady Forte in the late 1970s as their London family home.

location Lowndes Place is a very quiet one way street located in the heart of Belgravia, and runs between Chesham Place and Eaton Place behind the south west corner of Belgrave Square. Belgravia is considered to be one of central London s premier residential addresses, bordering both Chelsea and Knightsbridge. The property is well located for an excellent range of shopping, transport and recreational facilities within the general area of Belgravia and Knightsbridge.
