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.[3] In 1843, it was residence to the politician Frederick Hodgson, MP for Barnstable.[2] In 1856 it was the home of the Conservative MP for Buteshire, James Stuart-Wortley.[3] 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.[4][5] The house was used by the Secret Intelligence Service (MI6) to interview recruits after the Second World War.[3] In 2012, the house was bought by the property developer Mike Spink for £65.5 million, who subsequently renovated the property.[6] 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.[6] The 2019 sale of 3 Carlton Gardens was the most expensive sale of a UK property since 2011.[6] References1. ^1 {{NHLE|num=1066349|desc=3, Carlton Gardens|access-date=25 January 2018|mode=cs2}} {{coord|51.50544|N|0.133525|W|type:landmark_region:GB-BKM|display=title}}2. ^{{cite book|title=The Post Office London Directory|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=lw87AQAAMAAJ|year=1843|publisher=Kelly's Directories Limited|page=968}} 3. ^{{cite book|title=The Catholic Directory, Ecclasiastical Register, and Almanac|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=XG42AAAAMAAJ|year=1856|page=270}} 4. ^{{cite book|title=The Royal Kalendar, and Court and City Register for England, Scotland, Ireland, and the Colonies|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=iOkNAAAAQAAJ|year=1874|page=89}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=The Complete Peerage, Volume V|year=1926|publisher=St Catherine's Press|page=553}} 6. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2019/jan/21/us-hedge-fund-tycoon-95m-house-ken-griffin-london-uk|title=US hedge fund tycoon buys £95m house near Buckingham Palace|date=21 January 2019|author=Rupert Neath||work=The Guardian|accessdate=25 January 2019}} 4 : Grade II* listed buildings in the City of Westminster|Grade II* listed houses in London|Houses completed in 1828|Decimus Burton buildings |
