RAISING THE BAR

Inside the luxury London mansion boasting cinema and swimming pool – and you’ll never guess what it looks like from the outside

This five-bedroom London home, complete with its own cinema, swimming pool and gym once had a very different history

THIS London mansion - complete with own swimming pool, sauna and cinema - wouldn't look out of place in some Hollywood movie, but it has much more humble origins.

Originally the building was a boozer, Lonsdale pub in Notting Hill, but was torn down by developers and rebuilt to look like a bar from the outside.

The house has its own 15m swimming poolBut looks can be deceptive and once you’re inside there’s no barmaid pulling pints but instead a 15-metre high entrance atrium.

Other features include a 15-metre swimming pool, a four-storey golden chandelier and its very own cinema, a sauna, steam room and gym.

And there is a large south-facing garden  - and two private terraces.

You will £17.5million to be able to afford the five-bedroom property in West London though.

Domus Nova sales manager Chris Shaw said: “Lonsdale Road is a shining example of exquisite craftsmanship, bespoke luxury and thoughtful layout, so it stands alone and far above the rest.

“The architecture and palette of finishes make it an incredibly unique proposition, not only to Notting Hill, but within the surrounding postcodes.”

The ground-floor entrance opens into an open-plan kitchen/living area, with glass doors which can be folded away to create an inside-outside entertaining space.
