Over the past few months a 60,000 sq ft, seven storey, 45 bedroom residence has been put up for sale on a strictly off market basis for the princely sum of £300,000,000. Situated in Knightsbridge directly opposite Hyde park it also boast one of the most beautiful locations in London. This is by far the most expensive single residential property ever to go on the market and makes the £140,000,000 price tag for Park Place in Oxfordshire look like chump change.

The property was originally four homes until redeveloped and was owned by Rafiq Hariri the late Lebanese Prime Minister. On his assassination in 2005 the property was given as a gift to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Sultan bin Abdulaziz who himself recently passed away in October.
The stucco-fronted property, initially built as four separate homes, was owned by the late Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri.
