Seaford House
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seaford House is one of the grandest surviving aristocratic mansions in London, England. It is the largest of the three detached houses which occupy three corners of Belgrave Square in the exclusive district of Belgravia. Dated 1842, it was designed by one of the leading architects during the 19th century, Philip Hardwick for the Earl of Sefton, and is a Grade II* listed building. It is a white stucco building with four main storeys. In 1902 Seaford House was remodelled for Lord Howard de Walden, who had a unique marble staircase, friezes and panelling installed. It is now the home of Royal College of Defence Studies, and is usually open to the public free of charge on Open House Weekend each September.
