AN ELEGANTLY RENOVATED HISTORICAL MANSION WITH BUCKINGHAM PALACE AT ITS DOORSTEP
Selwyn House, its design attributed to the renowned architect Norman Shaw, is located in the very fashionable and established district of St.James, home to the National Gallery and St. James Palace. Sitting in prestigious Cleveland Row, an address steeped in royal and political history, and surrounded by celebrated landmarks such as Bridgewater House, Lancaster house and St.James Palace, this noble manor offers a glimpse into the ceremonial and aristocratic traditions of central London.
FIVE CENTURIES OF HISTORY ON ONE ST. JAMES'S SITE.
DETACHED. UNLISTED. METICULOUSLY RESTORED. PROFOUNDLY PROTECTED.
With site history dating from 1543, Selwyn House has been rebuilt and restored and yet remains unlisted — exceptionally rare for a detached Building of Merit standing within the St. James's Conservation Area. Owing to its proximity to St. James Palace, the street it stands on is secured and subject to government and royal oversight, giving it a serene, sheltered feel for central London.
THE SELWYN NAME, SINCE 1694
The site carries recorded associations with figures including John Evelyn and Samuel Pepys.
The Selwyn name has been associated with the property since 1694.
