A majestic example of Regency-era architecture in the form of a Grade I Listed, John Nash-designed terrace mansion, has landed on London’s super-prime market for a guide price of £15 million.
Listed via joint agents Aston Chase and Savills, the six-storey five-bedroom main residence rings the western fringes of Regent’s Park on Hanover Terrace and comes packaged with a two-storey, two-bedroom mews house – offering a rare and roomy total of 6,136 square feet of exquisite PCL space.

The mansion itself is set within a unified block of 20 individual Grade I listed houses, many of which are flecked with blue plaques, on the illustrious Hanover Terrace, which is largely considered the high-water mark Regency-era architecture in both city and country.
As expected, the house in question has all the good-looking Nash trimmings including a grand stuccoed façade, porticos, pavilions, loggias and classical statuary.
A look inside a Regency-era masterpiece
The glossy address between Marylebone and St John’s Wood has long been associated with London’s high society, with former residents running the gamut from art, politics, literature and aristocracy.
Celebrity residents past and present include Charles Dickens, Harold Pinter and HG Wells, Lady Antonia Fraser and Damien Hirst.
Accessed through its own grand porticoed doorway on Hanover Terrace, internally the Grade I Listed home has been restored to preserve its original 1820s detailing, while providing a symphony of luxury conducted by state-of-the-art mod cons and high-end materials, resulting in what agents say is “arguably one of the finest homes on the entire terrace”.
One of the most architecturally significant rooms in the six-storey residence is the formal entertaining room – a 328 square-foot space with a ceiling height of nearly 12 foot (3.6m) and aged dark oak boards underfoot.

Rooms are cavernous and bellowing via high ceilings, panelled walls and parquet flooring. Nash’s delicious elaborate cornicing designs are still on display, along with arched sash windows and elegant fireplaces from Acquisitions of London, as seen at Raffles The OWO in Whitehall.
Mark Pollack, Co-Founding Director of Aston Chase, singled out the meticulous attention given to its restoration and interior design stating it’s “extraordinary” and that the sale represents “an extremely rare opportunity to buy a Grade I Listed Regency residence that offers all the luxuries and contemporary conveniences a modern London family needs.”
Modern touches include a high-tech media/cinema room, temperature-controlled wine storage and a supercar garage.
As suited to relaxed London living as it is entertaining on a grand scale, the listing includes a newly reconstructed two-storey 1,193 square-foot mews house, brought to life by design studio Laura Hammett. The ancillary space has been dreamed up for visiting family and friends or older children studying in the capital.
The ultra-prime Nash bundle also comes with a 57-foot landscaped rear garden, a courtyard garden, terraces and access to Hanover Terrace’s communal gardens to its forefront – almost unheard-of in close-quartered central London.
Views are peaceful and provide a grand sense of place, the very same soaked in by Dickens when he took residence at Hanover Terrace in the summer of 1861.
New owners will enjoy the very same leafy stretches of Regent’s Park, its boating lake and The Holme, the 1818 mansion designed by Decimus Burton that sold for £139 million in June 2026.
A one-of-one London address with Nash hallmarks
Nash’s resumé includes some of the UK’s most notable buildings, including large parts of Buckingham Palace and Regent’s Park. He is also responsible for some of the most coveted and costliest residential addresses around Regent’s Park, including Cornwall Terrace and Hanover Terrace.
Security has been prioritised, too; Hanover Terrace hugs a private driveway, patrolled 24/7 by a private security team. Internally, state-of-the-art audio-visual, burglar and fire alarm systems keep the home’s security in check. There is also off-street parking for two cars.
The residence on Hanover Terrace is for sale on a Crown Estate lease for £15,000,000.
“Both practical as it is prestigious, the residence offers the best of ultra-prime London permanent or in-and-out living in an address of considerable historical heavyweight prestige”
A home of this substantial footprint, historical prominence and unrivalled location with plenty of room to manoeuvre will not lack attention from international buyers galvanised by London’s long-standing status as a safe haven and solid lifestyle and investment fundamentals.

Incoming owners will likely pay as much for postcode and name as they will for the size and quality of the property, particularly intriguing those who value provenance over glossy multi-million pound new PCL developments.
Investor notes: who are the buyers?
Despite a stymied prime and ultra-prime market putting the brakes on London trophy acquisitions and higher inflation, taxes, and geopolitics blowing frosty crosswinds, US investors, particularly those leaving America and motivated by a stronger exchange rate, have been snapping up London’s well-priced, ultra-high-end homes – particularly those with lock-up-and-leave credentials.
Bullish buyers are acting decisively when they see genuine value and opportunity, stepping in where domestic and non-dom sellers are exiting, snapping up well-priced larger homes in desirable postcodes.
This six- storey, Hanover Terrace Nash masterpiece is certainly that.
