3 Carlton Gardens is a house in Carlton Gardens, cul-de-sac at the west end of Carlton House Terrace in London's St James's district SW1. The house was designed by Decimus Burton as part of a pair. It has been listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England since January 1970.[1]
The house is three storeys tall plus an attic storey; and four windows wide. A balustraded balcony is on the first floor.[1] The house has a swimming pool and spa, and private formal gardens.[2]
In 1843, it was residence to the politician Frederick Hodgson, MP for Barnstable.[3] In 1856 it was the home of the Conservative MP for Buteshire, James Stuart-Wortley.[4] The house was the residence of the Conservative politician and army officer George Weld-Forester, 3rd Baron Forester in the 1870s; Weld-Forester died at the property in 1886.[5][6]
The house was used by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to interview recruits after the Second World War.[2]
In 2012, the house was bought by the property developer Mike Spink for £65.5 million, who subsequently renovated the property.[2] The property was listed at £125 million for several years until its 2019 sale to the American hedge fund manager Kenneth C. Griffin, the founder and CEO of Citadel LLC, for £95 million.[2]
The 2019 sale of 3 Carlton Gardens was the most expensive sale of a UK property since 2011.[2]
