"A detached 1920s home in Ealing, west London, has gone on the market for just over 1 million but prospective buyers may be surprised by one very unusual neighbour. The four-bedroom property boasts two reception rooms, period features, and both front and rear gardens. It also offers strong transport links into central London, with several Tube stations within walking distance, and is located near a number of top-performing schools."
"The embassy, located on 73 Gunnersbury Avenue, is reported to have been purchased by the North Korean government in 2003 for about 1.3 million. Its location stands out precisely because it breaks with diplomatic convention. Most embassies in London are based in central, prestigious areas such as Belgravia or Kensington. But in contrast, the North Korean embassy's suburban, residential setting gives it a low-profile presence that aligns with the regime's secretive diplomatic approach."

The house was previously used as an Airbnb and offers potential for a large ground-floor extension and loft conversion, subject to planning permission.
