Charles Dickens' former summer home is on sale for $27 million in one of London's most exclusive areas — take a look inside

The stuccoed house, which was built between 1823 and 1824, is located on Hanover Terrace in Regent's Park — one of London's most exclusive areas.

The "Oliver Twist" author purchased the house in 1861 for the summer social season, bringing his wife and children along to stay there that summer and several summers after, according to The Telegraph.

The author described the house as "really delightful" and often hosted other members of London's literary elite in it, the newspaper said.

Artist Damien Hirst lives on Hanover Terrace, just a few doors away from the property.

Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, fashion designer Tom Ford, and the US ambassador also live nearby, Insider previously reported.

Being Grade I listed means the building is of "exceptional" national, architectural, or historical importance.

As a result of this, there are special regulations in place to protect the character of the building.

Grade I listings are extremely rare. According to Historic England, just 2.5% of the approximately 400,000 listed buildings in England are given the highest listed status.

There's also a bedroom on the lower ground floor of the main building, and another in a separate mews house.

The home's master bathroom has a marble bathtub, a large shower, and several mirrors.

There are five other bathrooms on the property, as well as a gym and sauna on the lower ground floor.

Each reception room has a unique style. Some are modern and newly refurnished, with others celebrating the historic character of the building.

The property has 6,103 square feet of internal space in total, which includes a separate mews house at the end of the garden.

The property has two walk-in wardrobes, in addition to a wardrobe and storage space in each of the bedrooms.

The garden room is one of the more modern parts of the property, having recently been refurbished.

It has floor-to-ceiling windows, a glass roof, a private bar and kitchen area, as well as steps leading into the private garden.

On the lower ground floor there's a kitchenette, bathroom, and entertainment room — which the real estate agency Knight Frank says can serve as a self-contained apartment.

The separate mews house, which is part of the property, has its own kitchen, reception room, bedroom, bathroom, and garage.

The property is listed at a guide price of £22,500,000 ($27,157,838) which is pricey even for the famously expensive area.

According to Rightmove, an online real estate portal, terraced properties in Regent's Park sold for an average of £3,262,500 over the last twelve months.

Neir Gigi, who heads up the sales division in Knight Frank's St John's Wood office, described the property as a "real gem."

He said in a statement: "Hanover Terrace is a fine Grade I Listed terrace with ornate architectural embellishments set back from the Outer Circle behind a carriage drive.

"This particular house has both a superb south west facing garden and outstanding views over Regent's Park and the boating lake."
