Ealing Family Home Lists for About £1.6–£1.7 Million Next to North Korean Embassy

The period house is being marketed beside North Korea’s low‑profile Ealing embassy, a suburban outpost established in 2003.

Overview

  • The detached 1920s four-bedroom property is being sold by Grimshaw & Co and is described in the listing as offering elegant accommodation over two floors.
  • The agents highlight scope for a large ground-floor extension and a loft conversion, subject to the usual permissions.
  • The neighboring embassy at 73 Gunnersbury Avenue was reportedly bought for about £1.3 million in 2003 and is outwardly modest apart from a flagpole and national insignia.
  • Local residents describe the diplomats as quiet but have raised privacy concerns about a large camera on the embassy property.
  • The home was previously used as an Airbnb, and the listing does not mention its diplomatic neighbor while noting nearby transport links and schools.
