EVER WONDERED HOW the US President lives? Now you have the chance to experience it for yourself.

London agent Wetherell has announced the opportunity to buy the Little White House — a four-bedroom property in Mayfair protected by the US embassy.

It features white aesthetics and wood panelling fit for any leader — or family.

Peter Wetherell, CEO of Wetherell, said the house’s location makes it a great investment opportunity.

That’s just opposite the US embassy — and within its protective perimeter.

This means security around the house comes with 24-hour UK police and US Marine patrols, making it one of the most well-protected private properties in the city.

The US embassy will soon be moving to Battersea and the current building will be turned into a five-star luxury hotel, which is why the Little White House is up for sale.

Let’s take a look inside…

It begins with a “grand 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue-style entrance hall and sweeping staircase”.

The floor consists of polished wood upstairs and maintains the white colour scheme of the exterior.

The main reception room has a marble fireplace and provides “great entertainment space and fantastic natural light”.

The kitchen goes for a more practical look, and is just next to a large family dining room.

There’s also a TV room upstairs for more chilled out affairs. The first US ambassador to the UK was appointed in 1893 and early embassy staff rented rooms in this house.

The house has four bedrooms which keep the wood panel aesthetic for a decidedly presidential feel. It gained its nickname, the Little White House, in the 1960s because of its white front, proximity to the embassy and presidential-style entry hall.

The presidential feel even extends to the bathroom, which has a beautiful-arched opening.

There’s also a small garden at the rear of the house, which is communal. The property has a garage too.

If residents find the communal garden too cramped, there’s always Grosvenor Square just next door.
