Rutland Gate Palace

The sprawling 62,000-square-foot estate will require a buyer with a passion for restoring historic dwellings.

The most expensive home in Britain is back on the market after a record-breaking sale nearly three years prior. And the asking price? Still in the nine figures.

The Knightsbridge property at 2-8a Rutland Gate made headlines in 2020 when it sold for a whopping $232 million, making it the priciest real estate transaction in the UK. Now, the stately residence is being listed again-this time, for just over $221 million, according to The Guardian. Surely, its next buyer will need some super-deep pockets and since the pad has fallen into disrepair, a deep love for restoring historic dwellings.

Originally, the 62,000-square-foot structure was constructed as four separate homes during the 1830s. It was later converted into a gigantic, single-family mega-mansion over a century later in the 1980s for the former Prime Minister of Lebanon. As for what's inside, think an indoor swimming pool, underground parking garage and enough elevators to make a five-star hotel jealous. In total, there are a generous 45 rooms spread across seven stories. And as you might've surmised with a property of this stature, elaborate decorative detailing-including gold leaf accents and ornate molding-abounds throughout.
