embassy for approximately 43 years, but has not been actively used for this purpose since 2011.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The property is now in need of full refurbishment, but subject to the necessary consents could be converted and restored as an elegant single family dwelling.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It went on: &#8216;The area is famous for its grand white stucco villas, tree lined avenues, private communal

needed so much work they didn&#8217;t move in for another three years while builders gutted it and interior designers got to work in an \u00a38m upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>The finished property has a vast basement, spa, gym and a top-floor man-cave for former England football captain David, 46.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile Victoria&#8217;s walk-in closet is said to include an electric clothes rack and catwalk
