5 Cheyne Walk, Grade II* listed house in Chelsea, London
The residence features three wrought-iron gates across its frontage, with brick piers topped by stone cornices and decorative vases at number 5 Cheyne Walk.
Built in 1718, the house became home to John Camden Neild, who lived as a recluse from 1814 until 1852, leaving his fortune to Queen Victoria.
The building represents early 18th-century London architecture with its tesselated marble entrance and stone-balustered steps leading to the converted dining hall.
The property now functions as the official residence of the Cypriot High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, maintaining its diplomatic status.
The central entrance gate stands between two smaller ones, creating an unusual triple-gate arrangement that spans the entire width of this Georgian building.
