Billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy is hoping to sell a luxury two-storey penthouse in Hyde Park for a staggering £175million, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.

The stunning apartment is split over two levels, boasts five bedrooms, a 21m swimming pool, and measures around 18,000 sq ft – the equivalent of almost 18 average homes in England.

Overlooking Hyde Park in London’s upscale Knightsbridge district, it includes a private spa and gym, two terraces, four car parking spaces, a champagne room, a wine room for 750 bottles, a media room and a cocktail bar. 

The penthouse, which is thought to be the most expensive in London, also includes a cinema, private library, gym, golf simulator and valet service, according to records seen by the Greater London Properties website.

In an email to Bloomberg, Candy said offers in Bitcoin and Ethereum will be considered as cryptocurrencies are a ‘big opportunity’. He added that the apartment is ‘a world-class real estate asset in the heart of London that will continue to perform as a solid investment for years to come’. 

Estate agents Savills and Knight Frank are brokering the sale of the apartment, which was refinanced with a loan from Credit Suisse Group AG in 2018 when the bank valued the property at £160million, a filing to the Land Registry shows. MailOnline has contacted the agents for comment.
